Hmm, you're right, his stage beam does go out, didn't notice that when I first watched the video. I can't see the car move in the video, but that doesn't mean it didn't and just wasn't visable. I hate when this kind of crap happens and really feel bad for Mike.

It wasn't just the stage beam (ie., rocking back out of the beams). Both the pre-stage and stage lights went out simultaneously. Consider how far and how quickly the car would've had to move in order for that to happen. It would most definitely have been visible. The redlight was obviously in error.

I feel for Mike, but at the end of the day he still has Paula. There are far worse outcomes.
