A really sad deal.

I wasn't at this show last night, but I am going to be at the Monster Jam show tonight at the Tacoma Dome.

Thoughts and prayers with the family.

In my opinion this is a freak accident, you hardly ever hear about this happening.

I think they should of cancelled last nights show, it was freestyle, so it had to be near the end.

My best friend's brother was at that show, and was near that section where that happened, and he said it was horrible, he said it was a real eye opener, especially because him and his girlfriend are expecting a little boy.

One thing I disagree with, is that people are saying they should cancel the whole weekend, and some people are putting blame on the driver of the monster truck. First of all, they shouldn't cancel the whole weekend. 2nd its not the drivers fault. It was a freak accident.

It's a tough deal, and very sad. Lots of fans are gonna be going there tonight (including me) with a heavy heart. Its very sad that something like this happen, I didn't know the little boy, but its still very sad. The racing community (regardless of what type) is one big family, and its sad when someone is hurt, or even killed in something like this.

Hopefully todays show (show where my best friend is going to, since he had to work last night, and he's glad he wasn't there to see that) and tonights show (the one im going to) is safe, and nothing like this happens.

Like you said its very rare for something like this to happen in this sport. People should not be blaming really anyone, except for the whole deal of keeping the show going on.
