This was on the news earlier, I didn't have the sound on though so didn't know if anyone was injured ?

PROPER accident though but by the looks of it the important bit stayed in one piece.

Yes they were, just read online that suffered from bruising only.

I think its fair to say the car was totalled though !

If your going to do it then do it properly !

Saw that myself, could have been nasty if it rolled on his arm.

me n the old man are in the background, level with the jump on the other side of the track

was certainly a big'un!!

we thought he was gonna save it, but the ditches have concrete parapit thingies at various points, which is the rather large bang u hear that launches the back end into the air

2 air ambulances and everythin. the dudes arm/hand out the window actually got caught between the roof n the road as it came to rest

devils leap is awesome though, it isnt until u stand the other side of the track u realise how high and far they fly! 1 of the later stages they used the jump as the flying finish, so most were airborne through the finish boards
