Where was this held??

Not much emphasis on safety. You wouldn't catch me standing on a clearly dangerous corner like that. Organisers should be shot.

South Africa

People just watching it come towards them

In the 11th pic down something is circled in red, anyone pick out what it is?

[Peuty]

Second pic from the bottom shows someone outlined by a red square too. Maybe that's where he ended up?

[Scott]

Poor bugger :( love the wheels on it though.

[Fireblade]

Dont know if it is a person, if it is nobody seems to care standing near it

[broken_suave]

Is that a mid mount V8 in that ute?!

[TZENU]

Looks like one of those folding seats........hopefully the occupant jumped.

No matter what country they are in, you cant escape the bogan factor with GM cars.

Is he wear a skirt? I know some Islander nations do...Fiji etc. Very hard to run in.

Very dangerous, but that would be an awesome event to watch, great roads.

Its not funny but jeezus. Can you imagine what is going through the driver of the black SS mind he's flying through the air on his side: "I am so much trouble here....but not so much as that crowd I'm heading for!!!!

The chick/dude in the dress, fluro vest, running away, in an earlier photo has printed on the back of the vest "Child Rapid Response Unit". Firstly, after seeing a picture of she/him run, I'm not sure how rapid they are and secondly wtf is a Child Rapid Response Unit "officer' doing at a hill climb?

Not sure how smart doing a hill climb in a light in the **** ss ute is? Not very from the photos. Driver error maybe!

Great post!!

[XRtowcar]

HAHAHAHAHAHA.
I love seeing Holdens crash!

[NC1183]

Rear wheel drive + light ute rear end + V8 + speed at hill climb = big stain in underwear

Looked nice, for a Holden, till he did that. The silver one didn't look too bad either

[vztrt]

lol @ holdens crashing!!

Don't think it was FIA approved rope. That's the issue here.

Found a bit about the crashes.....

Motorsport South Africa calls for an investigation

Motorsport South Africa (MSA) commissioned an investigation after two separate accidents yesterday during the King of the Mountain Gydo Hill Climb in the Ceres area in which spectators were injured.

The event was an MSA sanctioned event and the necessary permissions were obtained from both the Provincial and Local Traffic authorities, who were also in attendance at the event. The public all tar road up the Gydo Mountain Pass was closed to the public for the duration of the race, which stretched over 6.5km.

In the first incident a Chev Lumina Bakkie allegedly lost control, rolled and one spectator, Cecilia Hubering (23) sustained injuries and was transported to the Ceres Private Hospital and transferred to Durbanville Medi-Clinic.

In the second incident it appeared that another Chev Lumina Bakkie lost control and collided with spectators standing at the exit of a corner. Seven people were injured. Six who sustained minor injuries were taken to Ceres Provincial hospital and has subsequently been discharged.

Sheryl-Lee Isaacs (20) however sustained serious injuries and is still in the Tygerberg Provincial Hospital.

yes, according to the poster of the pictures, the girl under the black ute (circled) was seriously injured, as is his girlfriend, and also the daughter of the silver ute.

Also according to the user who posted the pics, the black ute had to swerve to miss a spectator who ran across the road, that where he ended up in that position

[dallasv8]

sad to see people get hurt at events.

always good too see a holden on its lid but lol
