LOL...reminds me of a couple of idiots I saw a few years ago trying to do the same thing in a near stock 1996 GMH VS Commodore sedan....

I was parked on the other side of the road up a bit from the bend snacking on some Subway and listen to some music with a couple of mates, when we saw this plain white commodore come flying around the bend side ways (much like the video) and go to wide.

It clipped the gutter on the other side of the road about 15 meters from my car and started to continue it's way with a nice 60 degree lean on two wheels...the stupid driver rather than turn the opposite direction and drop it back on to four wheels, turned in harder and after travelling about 5 meters or so past my car rolled it 3 times and come to a stop...right in front of a patrol car that was parked just a bit further up from where I was parked....

I just about choked to death on my steak and cheese Subway...it was the damned funniest thing I'd seen in a long while...it sounds slack to laugh but these guys were absolute idiots.

They were pretty lucky that they didn't get hurt badly...the two officers in the patrol car weren't impressed either...they had just had their dinner interupted too.

The drivers excuse was pretty funny as well "the handbrake made the rear end lock up", the coppers had a good laugh at that one.

We spent the rest of the night laughing at the clowns as they were checked over by the Ambo's that had arrived and then were hauled away by the police to be charged.

Peoples stupidity never ceases to amaze me.

Nasty, watching those two TOTAL TWATS fly out their respective windows and scream till they hit the ground for what is possibly the last time, but they could have worn helmets, put on belts, done it at a track, taken proper driver training, used a specialised drift car with a roll cage, etc etc.

Darwin says they lose.

I feel bad for them in so much as I don't enjoy seeing people get hurt, but they clearly brought this upon themselves without thinking about the possibilities.

Twats.

I hyave been in the area that this was filmed. It is very, very common for drifters to do this in that area. It is also very, very common for them to end up like that. Oh well. They knew what they were trying and failed at it. No problem.

iamaelephant, before you complain about others thoughts on this further, how about mine? I scrape people like this off the roadways for a living and it now takes quite a bit to amaze me at another humans stupidity. The OPs video is pretty good and I LOLed.

Weeding out of the Gene Pool at its finest. Driving like an ass and not wearing a seatbelt. You get what's coming to you I guess.

That would be a funny ringtone.
You provoked me into watching it. LOL. But not if you teach kindergarten.

Just STFU, seriously.

Not sure if you two just don't get along or what, but he's absolutely right. Hopefully they learned their lesson.

I don't even know this turd, but the fact that he is happy about these two guys who are quite possibly badly injured or dead disgusts me. I'm sick of people calling this Darwin crap for everyone who has an accident in a dangerous situation. I suppose you live in a bubble? Never do anything risky? Well you know what, I like to ride mountain bikes, I like hiking and doing all sorts of fun stuff that puts me slightly at risk. If I were to be badly injured doing these types of things I'd be pissed off if some pasty nerd started yelling "Darwin!! LoLzz!11" at me.

Serious accidents are just not funny.
assuming the driver was on a public road (looks like there's a house there), then indeed he deserved it.

hahaha. The vid in the op is a think the same one that was posted in a thread few months back with a bunch of vids like that...they were in some middle-eastern country...i'm pretty sure someone died in every video. i remember seeing one guy get staight run through at high-speed. It honestly looks like these people are trying to commit suicide.

reasons i don't have sympathy

#1 - no seatbelt = extreme ignorance

#2 - he was doing a dangerous stunt to begin with and the inevitable happened

They got DARWNED.

How fvcking stupid do you have to be to do that without a seatbelt on anyway? Anyone know if these organ donors had an IQ test at any point in their lives?
