Drifting "Accident"

Definitely had it coming to him. Sucks to see him hurt, but that was f---ing hilarious.

TT Gasman

He's the Darwin Award winner for sure!

I think what we are looking at is Monty Phython's "Twit of the Year" winner!

Cory M

That's a really cool trick! Did he win??

MJSpeed

The irony is that as sad as this is, it's one of the funniest things I've seen all year!!

On a serious note, I hope the dude's ok.

T,

You and your whacky *** videos!!!

I have a hard time laughing at someone being run over by a car.

I think I am going to download that and use it as my own version of prozac... I am going to tell myself that he was not seriously injured so I can laugh without too much guilt... that is friggin funny.

That event looked so well organized that I was waiting for that ambulance to "top off things" and ran over that poor guy!

It was very funny as well! I hope he's ok though.

You're going to be STUPID, You Gotta be TOUGH!

"Fortunately" it appears that this happened in Europe, based on the ambulance, and not in the U.S. or, God forbid, California. Otherwise this post might instead be going something like:

"Boy, that guy was doing something incredibly dangerous and stupid. So should he sue the tire company, the car company or the event promoter, or maybe all of them as well as the Government for not adequately protecting him from his own stupidity."

Unfortunately the U.S. has so severely impacted Natural Selection that this moron could have been financially set for life if this event occurred here, and the scariest part is that he would have been free to breed others just like him.

Based on this incident, I wonder whether he will re-number his car to "666", and start calling it "Christine" (as in the "character" in Stephen King's book)?

That whole "sport" is an accident.

kind of disturbing watching the guy get run over- even if he is an idiot for attempting that stunt.

How dumb was it? Presumably it was a show and he was doing something he had practiced previously. Is any sort of show stunt riding/driving by definition stupid? Ok, so the outcome was very bad. Given what we know now, it certainly was dumb. But does crashing on a track necessarily mean that going out that day was a dumb decision? None of us is able to live life with 20/20 foresight. So does judging with 20/20 hindsight make sense?

I think we need to know more about what he was doing and how well planned and rehearsed it was before we can make these sorts of judgments about his sanity.

My personal opinion is that a lot of the negativeness comes from most of our natural aversion to the "sport" of drifting. And I also wonder if the fact that these are foreigners in a foreign land has anything to do with it?

Anyway, someone gets run over by a car and they likely get killed. Remember that while you're all laughing. And let's see how many people laugh when someone does something really dumb in a race car and gets their brains splattered as a result.
