From what I've read, the red and white guardrails were not filled properly with water and were empty. They would have absorbed much of the thrust. So horrible and tragic.

Agree with above, take time to protect the spectators who usually don't have a sense of how quickly a car can careen in any direction.

I'll never quite comprehend why the have events which allow spectators to stand so close a hot track.
