I know that I have seen bigger crashes between passes that were not penalized at other races. I am not angry, just wanted to know if anyone saw it live, and their reactions to it. Nice run Marc!

I watched and I don't think he intentionally took him out. I think they made the right call considering the situation. They don't have a replay. I think the announcer made it out to be worse by his statement at the end. Ultimately I think that is what influenced the judges the most.
