I like how casually he leans back and crosses his ankles to take the picture.

But not just him - where was the guy taking the video perched?!?!?

4. ICdevil 3 years ago

God just gave him a second chance and he just took a picture.NICE

Sure it looks scary...to the pansies that run out of the way! I would do the same thing; I mean, come on, he's standing behind a concrete wall!! He knows he's safe, that is why he didn't flinch--he picked that spot for a reason.

Well done, dude. Not only ballsy, but smart!

This guy mocked his own death.

Hes crossing his legs because the torn off fender just snagged a testicle. The photo was for insurance purposes!

how does that old saying go?
Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades!
That was close, damn close, but it doesn't count!!

15. archikarki 3 years ago

there only one way to see an accident closer than this...and its actually being in an accident...

that was soo dam close...you can actually see the debris flying around him...

they were all lucky to survive that

I think at 0:22 you can hear someone yell at him for being a 'cold blooded' journo photographer - (I'd bet it was a notorious crash spot, and like #5 said, he picked it for a reason) - then he says "sorry, sorry" as he passes the camera.

18. zerorain 3 years ago

he knew that the wall could save him.

and yeah thats pretty close to his ballz.

The circuit of Ireland drove past my house years ago. My strongest memory of the whole thing was seeing a complete windscreen sailing through the air towards me from a car that hit a wall after taking a corner too fast.

23. nooitaf (admin) 3 years ago

car + wall = safe ^^

24. timppi 3 years ago

the poor guy didn't even realize what happened until he saw the wreck through the camera! #4 please keep that religion-shite to yourself, someone might be offended. i mean, no-one's shoving atheism up your ass, right?!

25. budley 3 years ago

Wow, great photographer, got an amazing amount of commitment since i would have been limping off for a change of trousers when he took that shot!

26. chance 3 years ago

I think it's more like... car - wall = safe -_^

28. bountyhunter53 3 years ago
