It didn't look like anyone or anything was hurt or damaged. I would bet that Ensenada was happy to have this filmed there, free publicity (and they need all they can get after the hurricane). It looked way safer than when they run the Baja 500-1000 through there.
Those 'disadvantaged peoples' likely were also paid for the privilege (the town anyway).
Sometimes you should because you can...sometimes you should to learn if you can. My only issue was that the 10 seconds on the beach means hours and hours of cleaning and changing fluids for the crew. He should have stopped at the stairs with the bikini girls.
