Freebird Posted August 24, 2010 Share #7 Posted August 24, 2010 Absolutely amazing that he survived that. I won't be too critical of him, I was once 19 and indestructible also. I can remember my Chevelle SS 454 going airborne a few times. I am just glad that he didn't kill somebody else and hope that he learned from his stupid mistake.

Freebird -you're right as usual, I can remember my youth and for the grace of God I am typing this now. Perhaps I was too quick with the keyboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BradT Posted August 25, 2010 Share #11 Posted August 25, 2010 I guess it is stupid but I think a few of us hit speeds like that, we just have not lost control, yet. Pretty amazing he is still alive. Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the same "problem" with my 1970 GTO Judge. I was only 16 at the time that I had that car. Still amazed I didn't kill myself in that thing!

juggler Posted August 25, 2010 Share #16 Posted August 25, 2010 (edited) Looks like the car spun to the left and rolled so that the passenger side and bottom took the brunt of the hit on the overpass. If that car had spun the other way he'd be a wet spot on the overpass. I've had a car or two and my RSV airborne a few times, but nothing that impressive.

ArcsSparks Posted August 25, 2010 Share #18 Posted August 25, 2010 in the video you can see him bounce accross the freeway to the right ending up on the shoulder and than almost got run over by another car. This kid is lucky to be alive!! God watches out for fools and drunks (well most of the time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
