I hate to be cruel, but if you live by the sword, you die by it. Do something stupid, and you can wind up dead. Here's a link to something I posted a while back:

I watched a man die today-

That guy was just plain stupid. Drift a car? Fine. Stand outside while you are doing it... Hello?

Darwin.

In Nelson's voice....HA HA!!
Glad he's not reproducing.

Honestly, that's just my knee jerk reaction. He was probably a nice guy who got caught doing a stunt that killed him. I have been lucky and I'm still alive and just hope my kids inherited my luck. I've done some very stupid stunts but still here, go figure.

I wanna laugh and call him a dumbass who got what he deserved. Then I think of all the stunts I pulled on a daily basis on rollerblades in Boston traffic when I was an undergrad. Difference between me and this poor guy is I had better luck.

Man, that exhaust must have been hot. Did he die? Anyone have a story on this?

That video as actually pretty old. IIRC, he didn't die, just beat, bruised, scratched, scraped, burned, etc....
