You are correct. As teens we all think we are invincible. We all have been there. So far from the truth. As I see younger folks getting into over 300 hp cars, this is going to happen. We were a statistic. I am not proud of it but I am proud that I got a second chance at life and so did my friend. I do care about my friends and people in general. I am in the medical field and love helping patients but that night as a teen I couldn't do anything as hard as I tried. You just couldn't with gravity and the roll and how fast everything went down was mere seconds, but felt like minutes.

In your initial post, you said for us to enjoy the video. Whats to enjoy about someone crashing like that. And your his friend? He could have died. Would you still have said for us to enjoy this?

I don't have any pity for the OP - sorry. Darwinism at work. Just plain dumb. He should be arrested for reckless endangerment on a public road.
Also, it was super obvious that the car was understeering into the corner and he decided to pinch the wheel - which is exactly what you're not supposed to do. take it to the track and learn some real skills. |

Wow. I will admit, I occasionally drive the way I shouldn't drive on public roads. But mine are long stretches, outside the city, with long range visibility, and places I've known my whole life. That doesn't justify putting the general public in danger... I'm just saying on behalf of those of us who don't always have access to a track, I know the itch... but that game must be played with extreme care.
Bottom line, he got short-sighted during an adrenalized moment... wasn't watching far enough down that road, came in too hot and not even close to wide enough. He came in hugging the right side of the right lane approaching a right turn... that deal was done before he even started his turn. Glad he walked away... but sooo soo sad for that beautiful machine, instantly reduced to scrap. gotta give it up for that side curtain though, deploying at the first hint of a lateral tremor... bmw engineering, f*ckin forget about it. Impressive footage, very humbling and a gut-check on (mods or no mods) how serious these machines are. |

I never drove like an idiot to begin with. I wasn't driving that car. I wasn't a passenger in that car. I wasn't even a part of the cruise that particular day.
This thread isn't even about me.. But that's fine, I have nothing to prove to a moron like you who instead of admitting wrong for insulting the wrong person, goes about talking nonsense. Have a great rest of your day fool Quote:
You can see how I've responded to other people in this thread especially the negative posts, but I did not like the way this guy came about. Apologies for the misunderstanding.. Quote:

Whats worse, and I have seen it, is teens/kids on hwy 26 and 30 driving this fast on patches of black ice. Thats 10X's worse IMO. I won't go there. I will save that for another thread. Anyway, I am glad you posted this for a real eye opener for the younger folks to show them what can happen in a high power sports car if not driven properly.

You slow down, you hug your lane. No excuses. Imagine if motorcycles were riding the other direction and you come in wide and hit a couple bikes and send them flying. This shit is ridiculous. |

Could he have died? Yes. Did he die? No. If he did die there would not be a thread for anyone to "enjoy". He walked away with a few scratches, and is lucky to be alive. He personally uploaded the video to youtube for other peoples viewing pleasure. Why I used the word "enjoy" is because in the original thread (back when it happened) I had 5 pages of the response "since he is okay, can we see the video". Apologies if it offended you.. Quote:
Your post made absolutely no sense to me, because if I'm interpreting this correctly I can go ahead and imply that someone is gay because they are friends with a homosexual? You're telling me I shouldn't refer to him as a buddy or friend? What a shame. Someones going to have to a LOT worse than drive off a cliff for me to turn my back on them.

No you didn't offend me, I just think you could have used a better choice of words.
[QUOTE=MARIO K;14141295]Correct. I did say enjoy. Yes I am his friend. Could he have died? Yes. Did he die? No. Apologies if it offended you..

Sorry man I should have clarified since my separation to two paragraphs wasn't clear enough. In the first paragraph, yes I was commenting on the fact that this was a public road. And to each their own opinion no doubt, respect. In the second paragraph, I was commenting solely on the mechanics of the wreck... regardless of this being a private track or public road, it's pretty clear that the geometry & physics of his approach is what did him in. |
