1. I saw a 2 year old just learning how to walk get hit by a car. He was killed instantly. Long story short, the car was speeding in my su**ivision. Probably doing about 50 mph. It was a Mustang with two punk kids in it. The little kid's mom was at a garage sale and she was looking at things. The little kid wandered off into the middle of the street and the morons in the Mustang came around the corner stomped on the gas thinking they were cool and......... well, you know.
2. During a CCS Forumla Extreme race at Grattan Raceway (motorcycle on SCCA track) I watched the guy infront of me hit a concrete wall at 160 + MPH. He was flying down the track on the straight-a-way getting ready to turn into turn 1 and when he went to grab the brakes, there were none. He literally went into the wall "at speed." His body hit the wall first and the bike then slid into him. Come to find out later, his best friend helped him change the tires on his bike prior to the race to have a fresh set of slicks for the race. Well, his buddy didn't know that he had to pump the brakes back up after putting new wheels on or...... The start/finish line was at the beginning of the straight away, so the guy (on a GSXR1000 with motor work) literally got to the top of 5th gear and then realized he had no brakes.
