Played a role? The kid played chicken with a goddam racecar! Tony didn't swerve over to hit him or anything, he was just going straight and the kid jumped in front of his car. He was pointing directly at Tony and yelling shit. I think Tony saw him, but what's he supposed to do, stop in the middle of the track for someone jumping in front of his car? (Morally I'd say yes, but I brake for birds and squirrels and shit, so..) The kid was a MORON. He practically committed suicide in his anger.
I don't feel bad for him. If a skyscraper construction worker falls to his death, I'd feel bad. If he falls to his death because he took his safety harness off and was doing cartwheels on girders a mile up in the sky... it's simple math. The kid didn't die because of the risks associated with racecar driving. He could have been out on the street and jumped in front of traffic because he was mad at someone.
