I’ve seen the video of this incident and Roy just wasn’t paying attention.

Previous unpleasant, and could have been unpleasant, experiences and situations witnessed have taught me to never turn my back on a car in that area without a wall between us and always be aware of what every car around you is doing. Listen to them if you don't have eyes on them. Behind a car in the water or doing a burnout is not a good place to be. Not a place to be loafing around.

Wishes for Roy to recover quickly.

Update on Roy, he's still in the hospital and will be there a few more days but is doing well I'm told. He will leave the hospital and go to rehab afterwards.
