I've been to that country once and that was enough.
 
They went "drifting" in a FRONT WHEEL DRIVE car, on a public road, while not wearing seat belts. They can't get anymore stupid than that. Darwin stamped.

IDK, he bursts into pieces so I was just guessing.
 
I agree, Darwin's law at it's finest.

Of-course I do risky things, too. But I wear my god-damned seatbelt. It's like the retards who go zipping around on their 1000cc with no helmet on. ORGAN DONORS! 😱
 
hahah fvcking idiots.

just glad nobody else got hurt. well the poor car is trashed. bummer.


how could yo do something like that and not wear a seatbelt?

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.

He didn't say anythign about mountain biking, hiking, skiing, sky diving...

His comment was aimed at stupid deuchebags who imitate a craptastic movie, using their craptastic vehicle, and have no ability to control it. They fail at rational thought; hence, they have been selected against. I see no problem with the comment 😛

I agree, mostly. The difference with your activity is it's an exercise and people very often take the proper safety precautions. These two guys were doing something batsh!t retarded: drifting. To be 100% honest I really do hope they died, just to give drifting an even worse name than it has. It's absolutely worthless and insane.

No, the difference is that a responsible mountain bike rider recognizes that there are inherent dangers in what he does, and he takes steps to mitigate those risks. Like wearing proper safety equipment, making sure his bike is maintained properly, etc. Accidents in this case are tragic and sad.

Two punks doing high speed driving maneuvers, with no training, using inappropriate equipment, in a dangerous location, and not wearing seatbelts, are not "everyone who has an accident in a dangerous situation". They are idiots who created a dangerous situation with no regard for their own safety or the safety of bystanders. Darwin has a legitimate say in such circumstances.
 
personally i find it disturbing to watch two human beings come to a rather unpleasant end, even if they did bring it upon themselves. no doubt these two were a real pair of lulus, but i wouldn't wish such an end on anyone. and, while i wouldn't demand that everyone feel sorry for them, i am saddened that so many of the posters here seem to revel in their demise. I thought being civilized meants we are batter than that. stupid me.

Seeing how I was the target of iamaelephant's seriously misdirected rage I have enjoyed watching him get repeatedly owned in this thread. Self-righteous pricks have always been a dime a dozen around here. 😉

again... Oh the Hugh Manatee. 😛

If I am ever drunk or stupid enough to go drifting and kill myself on video you are all free to laugh at my death as I will have earned the ridicule and will most likely be laughing the loudest. :laugh:

It's one thing to jump behind the wheel and kill yourself. It's another to run out on the road when these idiots are playing. Stupid is as stupid do es. 😛

LMAO...what a dumbass.... standing in front of car while it's in mid drift....

Was that a portion of his arm, or a piece of the car that goes whizzing straight up in the air after impact?

Call it "ownage" if you like, but the responses in this thread say more about you people than about me. I personally think life is enormously valuable and it saddens me every time I hear about young people being killed needlessly. Yes, these guys were doing something profoundly stupid, but I'm not going to celebrate the death of a young person just because they are stupid. We all did stupid things when we were young. These guys could have grown up, had kids, lives, jobs. Now they're most likely dead or seriously injured. This isn't something to laugh about or celebrate, and it sickens me that so many people here derive pleasure from the pain and suffering of others.
