This better not be gruesome. We don't need that sort of thing posted if it is.

Not exactly interested in watching a movie called thrown_from_vehicle_fatal.wmv...

But then again, the title could just be misleading.

It's not necessarily gruesome in regards to blood/guts and such. Pretty freaky though.

I've always kind of liked that Ebaum's NASCARish guy w/ no seatbelt clip..

Not fatal, but funny to watch him slosh around the cab of his pick-em-up truck.

"Oh no.. -slowmo blob movements-"

Kind of like shaking around one of those jelly gashapon (plastic bubble) toys from a vending machine

23 seconds of stupid driving and what happens because of it. I hope everyone on here is smart enough to wear seatbelts.

Yes, I'll fix it for you. Again.

What the heck is with the operator? "Stop, stop......that was beautiful...G** D***!"

While that dude sure deserved it, it's never fun watching people die.

Personally, I think his family should sue the tire company. They handled that maneuvering terribly.

lol, if you look at his tires he's not even trying to steer in to his slide. Thankfully he was probably dead before that car even got him.

or at least unconscious.

All I can say, is that he probably didn't deserve that death sentence. Whatever he did wrong wasn't worth dieing for.

It's unfortunate that stupidity is frequently fatal.

Meh, he was probably up to no good. At least he can die knowing that he made me laugh.

I don't think Matt's being brutal. That guy deserved every agonizing second that he may have been conscious while getting tossed about like that. Driving like a complete idiot, passing on a narrow shoulder, speeding (if you look closely, he's already driving faster on the on-ramp than the cars on the highway), putting others' lives at risk. . . Imagine that the sedan that he hit is actually your Subaru. You're driving, and you have your wife and kids in the car with you. Is the danger this asshole put them in worth him getting to Wal-mart five minutes faster? Far better that this guy gets spilled than an innocent.

Aside from that, it looks to me like he jammed on the brakes as soon as the first collision occurred. That's where he starts leaving tracks on the road. The roll is set in motion when he passes over the median curb.

Plus there's the whole running from the cops thing he was doing.

Hah. Was that in the audio? My stereo was off. Yeah, that too. In fact, I suppose that makes it worse. I see no cause to grant the guy any sympathy. Or maybe I've just been working retail too long.

I'm just assuming it was a car chase... you don't see people driving that crazy while being filmed by a TV helicopter otherwise.

Dificulty level: 10.0
Skill level: 0.5

The key would have been a nice tuck and roll as he hit the ground.

I had a plastic bag wrapped around my exhaust once and that smelled rank as it burned off. I don't want to imagine what skin, teeth, hair and eyeballs would be like...

So you're saying he lost points on the dismount?

He lost nothing, he started with 0 and had the opportunity work his way up. This he failed to do.

The stunt he tried to pull off is not unlike a 15 year old that has never been behind the wheel of a car attempting to qualify for a F1 race.

I did laugh though so it was not all for nothing. But it would be easier for an unsupervised Catholic priest at an alatar boy convention to keep his hands to himself than it would have been for this crack head to have landed that one...
