Rally car drives off cliff...

http://www.totalprosports.com/blog/i...ain-and-lives/

Quote:
Total Pro Sports - During a race on April 3rd, 2009 rally Car driver Jari-Matti Latvala, is lucky to be alive, following a frightening crash in Portugal a couple of days ago. Not only did this guy almost die, but now his team wants to fire him, and I thought North American sports were cut-throat.

Apparently, someone forgot to tell this guy that there are no guardrails in rally driving. After watching the video multiple times, I can't believe the actually survived.
HOLY SH*T.. Thank god he was okay.

Those drivers are crazy in the coconut, just like the roadside spectators. Every race is next to a cliff it seems, and every turn is lined with photographers waiting to get killed. I love rally racing from the comfort of my living room.

I don't think the car touched the rail. Looks sort of like it roll right over it.
