When I first saw the picture all I could think was please let it be staged, but then I read the article and Googled around. That's just horrible. My condolences to the rider who didn't survive.

WOW! What a crazy picture! That's so sad that someone died, but at the same time amazing that only one person did. I wonder how many other serious injuries there were?

My heart just sinks looking at this picture and reading the article.



Side note, I was in Matamoros and Brownsville a few years ago. You can't get more authentic and good Mexican food in the US then in Brownsville. Interesting country at the tip of Texas.

Yea, looking at it you'd think a lot more people wouldn't have survived.
