John Force accident

His engine took a dump at 300mph. He was in the right lane, bounced off of the left wall then went and bounced off the right wall. Last I heard he was in an induced comma and now he is awake and responding to basic commands.

How he survived that accident is a testament to the how those cars are built to protect the driver.

It seems there is no limit to where adrenaline junkies want to go. I saw a video recently of two skydivers with wings suits Jumping off a peak, and managing to fly into the open doors of an airplane. Oh boy! I posted:

Guys, guys you're supposed to jump OUT of a perfectly good airplane.

I saw another vid of guys bicycling on a cliffside path in the Italian Alps that would be exciting as hell to walk - if you fell off on a bicycle would be certain death. But what a rush, man!
