That was awesome!

That kid is much better off for doing that. He learned something about his capabilities and limitations while impressing some females at the same time. He showed courage and a willingness to take risk, plus an acceptance of responsibility, that most successful people have.

While hundreds of fat tards make disparaging comments on youtube from the safety of their worn out office chair this kid is out there on a path to greatness.

What is it about doing stupid crap to impress females and get a rush that you feel is unique to this particular teen-aged male human?

Don't even pretend that his parents aren't paying for it ("allowance;" LOL) and, as others have said, it's a nice house/neighborhood: They can all too easily afford a windshield. I doubt he learned much at all.

Most of them fail, if they even try at all.

This one stole victory from certain defeat and stuck the landing. For whatever reason he has the winning combination of courage, skill, and luck similar to the Richard Bransons and Jack Roush's of the world.

Stupid beyond words, but also very awesome.

The chick driving the cry was an even bigger idiot though. If he would've failed that could have got her in some deep shit.

Look closely. I think he is actually jumping on the far side of the car, and not over it.
Plus, you don't shatter a windshield and just walk away like it didn't do any damage to you.

If you slow it down and watch frame by frame, you can see the toe of his shoe hitting the windshield right at the top.

If he'd hit it with a knee, he never would have been able to do that landing. But his foot was well protected by the shoe.

Yep. Most likely manslaughter charges.

Ya, he's gonna feel that one in the ankles tomorrow. At my advanced age, mine get sore just climbing the stairs too many times in a day, there's no way his won't hurt.

Currently, I am in rehab for a torn knee cartilage. Not to mention that I have a few decades on the fellow in the video.

He does however have my admiration.

If fact, after viewing the movie, I thought I could hear my dad, the retired Air Force pilot saying, some days any landing that you can walk away from is a good one... Or was it, some days its better to be lucky than good...

Anyway, best of luck to the fellow. Awesome video! Hope he doesn't try it again.

we all say awesome because he came out ok.

we'd all be saying what a dumbass he was (well, more than we currently are) if it hadn't gone off so well :p

anyone know what speed the car is going? i can't remember what movies use when someone gets "hit" by a car. much slower though. 10-15mph IIRC
