One confirmed and widely publicized incident involving the team did not involve a vehicle at all but rather an unfortunate on-air mishap. Robert Anthony Cruz, better known to fans and teammates as Coach RAC, suffered a serious injury during a live appearance on CNN on July 24, 2025. Known for his high energy, athleticism, and crowd-pleasing stunts, Cruz attempted a backflip during a segment meant to showcase the team’s dynamic style. Unfortunately, the flip didn’t go as planned.
Mid-rotation, Cruz appeared to lose momentum or misjudge the landing, resulting in a full face-plant on the studio floor. The impact left him with a bloodied mouth and chin, and medical personnel on-site quickly assessed the injury. He was later transported to a nearby hospital, where he received several stitches to close the wounds. Though the fall looked severe, doctors confirmed there were no broken bones or long-term damage—just a painful, high-profile reminder of the risks that come with live performance.
The clip quickly went viral, drawing both sympathy and shock from fans. Many praised Cruz for attempting such a bold move on live television, while others expressed concern over whether such stunts should be part of live media appearances. Cruz, however, took it in stride. Days later, he posted a light-hearted video from his hospital bed, thanking fans for their support and joking that he’d “stick to coaching for a while.”
While rumors sometimes swirl around the team, particularly on social media, this incident stands out as a real and confirmed event. It had nothing to do with a car crash or off-field drama—just an unfortunate stunt gone wrong in front of millions. Coach RAC’s misstep served as a memorable, if painful, moment in the spotlight.
