As I said earlier, they should all be sacked and have their licences taken from them. They had no thought to the potential consequences of their actions, and I'd not feel comfortable with a single one of them driving me or my family.

Yep, and this is the issue. If they wanted to do it for a 'bit of fun', then it should have been properly supervised and risk assessed. Having watched that video clip a couple of times, I think it's only by sheer luck that we're not discussing someone being hit by a bus.

It's been spoken about on here for years about people running around like idiots at these rallies, letting themselves onto buses and other stupid shit, so it's a bit ironic that we're now talking about the behaviour of the so-called adults. You can clearly see on the footage that there's visibly two people stood in the path of the vehicles, and over on the far side (where the E200 raced away), there's a group of people stood inches away from it. 

Whilst I don't think the forum should be playing judge, jury and executioner, in my opinion that is what elevates the severity of the incident. There was a risk to members of the public.
