Back tire starts to slide out at 1:34, he crashes just after that. Doesn't look like a big deal, **** happens.

There was only 2 crashes. The 3rd was just the bike being laid down, after it's stopped.
It sounds like you're arguing the facts and saying that the crashes are in result of the leader?...
No. Crashes can happen regardless of who is leading.
SW is a tricky rd. Riders were outside their comfort zone or had some kind of rider error. Again... Not in result of the leader.
OK, I've heard it was 2, I've heard it was 3. So be it.
I'm not arguing the facts. I AM telling people that they need to sharpen their skills and act in a responsible manner.

My favorite part is when the guy recording the video waved for the other guys to keep going after the crash....
"Screw him he's down let's keep going!"
O look, more unfounded criticism! It was more like, hey go get the leader and let him know what happened. What would I know though, I was only there whereas you have this short video to make baseless assumptions.
Ya no kidding, god forbid we use this forum to discuss things.

Yes. Do you have a problem with that?
At 1:10?? Lucky no incoming cars...
Hope rider is ok, but from the video looks like a mixed group of seasoned riders and unexperienced riders trying to keep pace. Looked like rider error locking up rear and target fixation.
Big group rides especially on a technical road that eats a bike every other week like 13 should be split up and lead by riders that know how to set a pace.
That in mind everyone is responsible for there own pace and if you ride beyond you capability or on a road your not familiar with.... Well that's usually the outcome.

She told him to go catch up with the leader to tell him someone went down. The leader kept going and didn't stop(i guess he didn't see). There were enough people to help the downed rider, so she sent him to stop the leader.
