Saw this from another helmet cam already. This one is a better view. Crazy carnage! I don't like riding any faster than what I can see ahead for this reason. Sometimes it means I'm really slow

Thanks for adding the "foul language warning"

I am in the same boat as you....I love to ride hard...but if I can't see what is ahead of me....then it's time to back'er down!!!

Many of the riders were riding within their vision and stopped just fine only to end up at the bottom of the pile due to others crashing in to them from behind. You can put a lot of it on the riders but really that was piss poor track management.

At about the 50 to 58 second mark some guy come storming into the pile

Here is another angle http://www.pinkbike.com/video/237115

that was at glen helen across the top of a ridge with no way to get any water up to it. they use that a lot for worcs and off road races. I think they should pipe some water up there. It is always that way.

I don't understand why the rider runs off the course instead of up the course to warn other riders?

Yeah thats something I don't understand either. But then again I imagine most who have been tanged are also injured or at minimum in shock by whats happened. Easy to say what they should have done in hindsight.
