OMG, the humanity! That poor Ferrari! I've already seen the pics, and ones that are much worse than that... It just doesn't shock me anymore

I agree that the pictures are very graphic, however there was a warning notifying potential viewers before they opened the link. And I think the pictures are a valuable and poignant reminder of our own mortality and how we affect it.

think if that was a friend or a relative would you want the pictures posted on the internet? I see the warning and i know its just my 2 cents I just don't agree with it being posted up.

If it were a friend or relative I would be angry at them first and foremost for driving 170 mph on a public road. I personally think that this is a valuable reminder to keep our speed in check and save that kind of behaviour for the track. We have a large number of members who need to learn this lesson, and unfortunately, some will undoubtedly learn it the hard way.

Additionally, no one on automotiveforums.com posted the photos on the internet. They merely found the site the photos were posted on and provided a link to it.

I can understand that for the pictures of the mangled car but not the gory mangled men, and I know noone here did.

First, most cars here cant go that fast...

also, its why modern cars have mandatory speed limitors, because after 127 your odds of survival go to %0

I've seen worse than these corpses, I also did alot of work studying wars.

I can see both views, I can see where it shouldnt be posted, afterall, we dont need more kids with an upbringing like mine, i'm desensitised to where I -could- stick a gun into my mouth and not flinch...drive my car 120mph in a 25 zone, slam my head into a door to open it, watch someone get shot etc *yes, EXTREME examples but I'm making a point*

Whereas, perhaps people in the street racing fourm could use these pics, many racers i've met have never seen the possable conquences of their racing, and many think that they cant get hurt because they wear their seatbelt, and thats all they need...granted if it was a 4 or 5 point with roll bars around the seat...then yah, that would be enough but these are cars made for speed and to take a crash. *dont know of the Farrari* But at 170, it dosent matter really, you die, yes you might get lucky but the extreme ammount of force mixed with the sudden stop...well...the seat belt could cut your head off from the shoulder to your underarm....i've seen it.

All in all, it was posted, and in this fourm I think it can help more than hurt. I used it already to beat some sence into one racer who takes too many risks.

i agree that this incredibly unfortunate event could really lay someone out on bein a safe driver just by lookin at the photo's. but i also think that the warning could have been "*warning* super horrible carnage with people ripped apart..."

i would not have looked at it because i'm a sissy. but i'll def. be the SAFEST driver in the world...now that i have those images sort of burned into my brain.

Are ya'll happy with the edit of my post yet? I hope it gets my point across.

I have a pretty strong stomach so I didn't really even think that anyone would mind. I have made it more noticable now.

Sorry ya'll

Sad to say this, but I don't think this is enough to stop me from racing.
