Editor's note: From Dec. 1 to Dec. 12, FOX Sports will be counting down the 12 craziest rides caught on video in 2015.

In the Dakar Rally back in January, a pair of cars flipped during the seventh stage of the event.

As spectators were feverishly trying to turn the first car that wrecked back on all four wheels, a second car comes through and starting flipping end-over-end. Not only does it catch fire, but it also comes dangerously close to a huge group of spectators.
