Monster Jam World Finals 10

Monster Jam World Finals 10 was held on March 27-28, 2009 at Sam Boyd Stadium. This is perhaps the most controversial World Finals, with Adam Anderson getting injured during racing and cannot freestyle, and a crash by Captain's Curse into the stands (no one was injured, it landed into protective covering) and the censorship of the crash from TV broadcasts along with the additions of dumpsters along the near side for all future World Finals. Another thing was the fact that Natural High and Samson were involved in separate incidents which resulted in the deaths of two separate people earlier that year, which made these violent crashes even more controversial in the Monster Truck industry. Although the uncensored version of Captain's Curse's crash was only shown in europe.

Trivia

 * Captain's Curse's famous crash into the stands is responsible for the addition of safety dumpsters alongside the track for all subsequent World Finals.
 * This is the second time a truck has made it into the finals and has not freestyled, as Captain's Curses' crash occurred during the finals against Tom Meents in Maximum Destruction. The first time this happened was during Monster Jam World Finals 2 as Blacksmith.Fingkhjgjhuikale.jpg
