Knowing none of the realities of this case other than the obvious, here's what I believe.

1) Instuctors are fully aware of all the risks.
2) This is America, no one put a gun to your head to be an instructor.
3) Take responsibillity for your actions or inactions.

I saw a picture of the car that night on someones camera while I was talking to Herb Helbig, looked like heavy frontal damage.

In my mind, unless the driver was aggresively non compliant to the instructors commands, it's equally the instructors fault. Why do people believe that they deserve money for their own decisions, this is the most ridiculous concept I have ever heard. If your wife is pregnant and you have responsibilities, maybe you should look elsewhere for work. I do feel bad for the instructor and his family, as well as the Viper owner. I just feel it's about time people stop blaming others for their own mistakes.

This guy should get accidental coverage for his medical costs, lost wages, and some re-training costs if necessary, end of story.

All the assumptions aside, I hope this guy recovers quickly for himself and his family.

I can't overstate how great this event was. I hope that Daimler/Chrysler does not sour over this one incident.
