The guy that ran off the road, through the guard rail, did an endo over a culvert and landed facing the other direction on the other side?

A friend of mine sent me these pictures a couple weeks ago, as we were debating whether they were for real another friend on the AutoCAD forum I'm on confirmed it was true.
She said she was sent the pics by a guy that knows the guy that took them.

Never the one to doubt the word of friends, of friends who supposedly knows somebody that knows for a fact....

I checked snopes but it was undetermined at that time and they were researching it.

They finally confirmed it...

and so, without further adieu we bring you... One Lucky Guy!!

That was my 1st thought too. Also I noticed that there may be a junkyard at the bottom of the cliff, only thing to do would remove what was left of the owner.

eazy · February 13, 2007, 02:06:45 PM

so did the guy get hurt/survive or what?

Lady Di · February 13, 2007, 02:10:13 PM

according to the snopes report all the Utah police could do was confirm that the report was consist of an accident that had occured there.
They said they couldn't give out any other information due to some confidentiality law.

I'm trying to find out from my friend if her friend knows anything more about it.

That's the movies, remove the gas tank, engine and anything else that might cause and uncontrolled explosion, then load it with pyrotec and flip a switch as it plummets down the cliff and boom. Those things are for the movies and don't happen much in real life. Granted there wouldn't be anything salvageable when it hit bottom and it may or may not catch on fire when it got there. Usually it's the battery that starts a fire when it shorts on a body panel or the hood. If you've ever watched a vehicle on fire you usually hear 4 distict explosions and maybe 5 and that is the tires not the gas tank. Gasoline will explode but only when it vaporizes, believe or not you are better off getting rearended with a full tank of gas than lets say a 1/4 tank, no vapors.
