Nice Recovery
Wonder if he could have made this recovery in a Tourweg?

Four sets of skidmarks ... one from the truck, one from the driver, one from the co-driver, one from the guy running away!

How in the hell did the driver avoid that drop off after that wild ride?

I have never seen anyone avoid a roll like that, OMFG!!
 That is actually a good instructional video of how to save a roll by steering into it, in a "soft roll" it would be very effective. In a sports car w/o the extreme ground clearence you would not still be able to steer when the vehicle is that far tipped, however.

Ok I am impressed. The true question is would the pepper recover
 Sorry guys I had to. I think that more pure dumb luck rather than skill and the driver pretty much just rode it out. I would like to see the Dakar Touareg do the same thing

Mostly luck. If he were *that* skilled, the roll would've never started in the first place.

Damn, that's impressive. I'm sure you noticed that he re-centered the steering after both near-rolls. I vote 85% skill and 15% luck. The luck comes in mainly in avoiding the drop-off...
