Aside from being extremely eccentric, hopefully they don't vote in elections, and incredibly ignorant for safety, I pray for a speedy recovery. Horrible accident and is a possible candidate for the Darwin Awards.

Rather than the lolz it would probably be more useful for the community to support the guy, especially given that the replies were compassionate and (surprisingly enough) not a pile on on the Cybertruck.

I agree! At burning man you are signing up for possible death! Hell someone was straight up cold blooded stabbed out there, but somehow I bet we see more about the Cybertruck hitting the guy on drugs meditating.
Watch your tongue. He was sober, had a light around his neck, and was sitting on the ground right outside his camp. Publishing a comment that he was on drugs without proof is called libel. He was there with his wife and kids, for Christ's sake. He's a professional music teacher and has many friends around the country whose lives have been positively influenced by him, myself included. Is victim blaming a major component of your personality?

It was an "art car", was it some other vehicle cosplaying as a Cybertruck? I can't even find pictures of it at burning man...
A lot of folks pack up camp and leave on the night of the burn, so it might have been someone's personal vehicle on their way out of the city.

If it was an art car, folks who are curious can read more about the requirements and inspection process here: https://burningman.org/event/participate/mutant-vehicles/mutant-vehicle-operators-handbook/ Art cars require an inspection and a special permit to be allowed to operate at night, specifically because of the risk to pedestrians (see e.g. the section in the handbook on walkers and spotters).

When I go camping or off-roading, I want to be where no one is near me.

Same, but that’s the exact opposite of what burning man is about. It’s not really camping and it’s definitely not off roading or over landing.
