Wonder if he survived or not..

Did the car stop on it's own accord or cos he was wedged underneath?

It's actually quite disturbing seeing the reactions posted here and on other forums, the general consensus is that he's a fool. Why? He's at a show and he's playing to a crowd, and at drift shows, that's the kind of things that score you extra points. He's probably done that stunt 100 times before, but miscalculated one time with disasterous results. he's not doing it on the street, it's in a controlled environment but he got caught out.

I hope to god it doesn't happen to any one of us, but if you got into an accident, I hope to god you don't get labelled a fool the same way this guy has.

Don't know what happened to the guy, just hope he's made a full recovery

I do hope he is alright, but I can understand why people would call him a fool. I'm not saying I am, but to stand there with a car spinning around you which is (technically) out of control would seem pretty mad to some.

..And I think the car stopped cos he was wedged under it. Even if the weight didn't get him, think about the heat?! I hope he was alright.

Shuriken.

IMO this would only be acceptable in a safety controlled environment, or by professional stunt drivers with a full back-up team.

I don't care how many times this guy may have done this, if you don't have the back-up or expertise then you should not be doing it.

I'm only glad that this car came to a halt, imagine what could have happened if the car decided to accelerate towards the crowd!!! :eek:

Leave this sort of stuff to the professionals. ;)

Hope to he's made a full recovery and I'm sure all the other members of the forum would echo the same sentiments but what is surprising is for a professional to have such a cavalier attitude ..it's like he has an over confident attitude but anyways It's sometimes very easy to make Judgements and accidents do happen whether due to our own mistakes or factors outside our control..Important thing is to learn by them and come out of them without any injury.
