I think Jeremy's carnage pic is the worst 40% crash aftermath I have ever seen. Nothing but toothpics. Was that from a mid-air or something?!?!?! I had a 50cc Yak vaporized like that, but it went in at full power, straight in from 200 feet... battery unplugged.

I think it was from not landing after the first glitch, but Jeremy will have to verify..

This is what's left of a Bruce Thorp Reaction 54 Jet.

180mph, straight into the ground or into the rim of that truck, the guy who crashed it says he didn't hit the rim, sure looks like it to me. They used a leaf rake to pick up the pieces...haha.. Damn...

I have heard of the black garbage bag a few times but seriously you would have no trouble getting that thing in one without having to break it up anymore.

Whew!!!!! That one hurt.

The forced perspective looks worse than it is. It was out there a bit. But still, it's why I stood back a ways.
