Amazingly trained horses that they immediately stopped! Also love how as soon as the carriage toppled, all those people immediately rushed in to help. Way better response than freezing and staring like a lot of volunteers do at our local horse shows😂
Yeah, because when accidents happen and people could be DYING at this very moment, it's way more important to keep filming, right? Gotta get your million views on youtube no matter what!
@@user-if3jr3ly8p So in other words, catering to a sociopathic, bloodthirsty audience is more important than respecting the sanctity of life itself? Got it.
Yep. He should have done a wider and slower turn.... Although if it had been fully weighted low ?? It made me realise how top heavy stage coaches were m.
@@lednails Hmmm that depends on the person you ask the question. The educated among us would be more annoyed by comments posted by RU-vid buffoons. The ignorant would think otherwise... you for example.
To the people commenting that the photographer dropped the camera when it happened: that means they're human and have empathy. The natural reaction was for the person, not the footage. The same people would complain if they kept filming with no compassion to help the person being filmed.
True, but we all watched the video knowing something bad was going to happen. If we were compassionate we would have kept scrolling down and not watched. I am glad no one was seriously injured including the horses.
I hope the Indiana state fair queen didn't get maimed. Other comments are spot on the driver was hitting the turns too fast. Also it is amazing that those horses all stopped on a dime in unison. They were extremely well trained and disciplined. Some horses spook easily especially with a crowd. All six halting was remarkable.
@@slapshotjack9806 If it were only as easy as pulling on the reins! When a horse is panicked try pulling on the reins. If that 1500 lb. horse is spooked and not very well trained, good luck controlling it. Horses run off on the best riders at times.
It wasn’t the horses’ fault here. It was the planner of this event. They should’ve picked a wider arena because cutting corners like that, as you saw, is so dangerous.
They shouldn't have made the stagecoach do a figure 8. Or should not have had the manned station in the centre. If the manned station wasn't there, the stagecoach would have hade more area to manoeuvre.
Actually it was my first day with my new phone almost 10 years ago. I was just playing with it trying to learn the features when all hell broke loose. Kind of forgot what I was doing when the accident happened.
@@1hoosier15 ah with that then you are hereby forgiven and pardoned of all wrongdoing. We look forward ro future videos where you get the full 🎬. Thanks for the post.
I've walked on that dirt. It's very soft and would grip those wheels quite bit more than one might expect. I suspect that this contributed to the crash, in addition to excess speed, of course.
I’m not really sure why a good chunk of the comments are amazed the horses stopped. They were pulling something on wheels. It is no long on wheels and dragging. Resistance is the signal to stop / slow down from the driver.
Very well trained horses......A lotta Horse Sense !! Hope everyone's ok. I think a stagecoach like that should have passengers for ballast !! Seemed a little top heavy !! Hope everyone is ok.......human and equine !!
Everybody saying how well trained the horses are (and those are) because they stopped. But keep in mind, the difference between the rolling resistance of that coach on wheels ( I moved a loaded buckboard wagon around by hand) compared to the static load of the entire weight on its side digging into the dirt… that team got hit suddenly with a huge change in load…. Almost like ya threw a brake on or something…. I trained one of my geldings to drive by hooking him up to a tractor tire laid flat with me standing on in an arena about half the size of that one…..common technique so they don’t run away. Or not far….
I have a fantasy of someday putting together a large number of clips where the most crucial moment of the event is cut off by the camera being dropped or pointed at the ground. And there are a LOT of them.
If the horses were directed to go straight along the wall it wd not have happened; they were driven to continue turning right - across the center. And fast! Grandstander (youngster? drinking?) should have known better. Amazing it didn't happen earlier.
Healthy and happy horses, I just wish humans could find away to keep control of the horses without so much heavy gear attached all over them. I’m sure they could come up with a better harness for horses with less junk flinging everywhere. Also they were going too fast for the size of that arena
The gear is surprisingly lightweight. Collars sit on the shoulders instead of the neck and are made out of leather and some wood. With the number of horses on the team, the weight an individual horse feels is nothing.
"Come together...lock your shields, stay as one...hold as one." "Well done" "Hold as one!" "Hold!" "Diamond!" "Diamond!" (Hagen takes an arrow to the calf) "Hagen!" "Hagen!" "This column to the chariot. This column stay with me."
