Hoax? I don't think so. Either Eddie is a really good driver who knows how to emulate a bad crash a lame driver would do (look at his car control); or he's just a lame driver.
Ockham's razor says he's just lame.

To someone else's point, if someone let me fly an F-16 for a day, I would familiarize myself with the device and possibly still explode. This is a car. Much like any other car in it's controls and basic functions yet it's probably one of the most finely honed road devices on the planet - super precise steering, amazing brakes that I doubt I could personally get to fade, lightning quick shifts, etc.
The driver of the car screwed up, period. Blaming it on a course design or the barrier being too close to the cones is silly and essentially just passing the buck. I assumed platypus was joking since I believe he actually has experience at closed-course events where it's your job, among other things, to not hit stuff.

meh yeah and its also the parents responsibly to make sure there toddler doesn’t put his finger in the light socket or open a drawer full of knifes but using socket plugs and drawer locks helps prevent your child from getting injured
all im saying is this dude didn’t know jack swat about cars or driving fast so maybe the track should have been set up in a way that would have minimized danger and damage for the cars sake haha

Toddlers need parents to protect them because they truly do not know any better and have not developed to the point yet where they could. Comparing a man crashing a car to a toddler sticking his finger in a light socket is sad and lame but quite frankly pretty inline with today's irrsponsible thinking.
If you build a better safeguard, all it takes is for someone to be an even better idiot. There is no end to that and it is not the solution. Either way, when you are in a 1 vehicle accident and you hit a stationary object - it's your fault. Pretty simple.

But to spell it out:
#1st and foremost: eddie sucks at driving, as I said in most of my posts in this thread. (you can even see my comment about that in in the quote wombat quoted me on)
