Wow... there was a written comment about launching a spectator so far, but I thought there was 2 bodies flying..

Isn't it funny but you sort of forget just how relaxed some safety practices might be elsewhere when we have fairly good practices here.

What a dodgy track. No wonder that happened, no safety.
