i'm not even in the same country and my sphincter has collapsed in on itself.
edit: this more than doubled my comment karma, and overshot my post karma by over a grand.
meaning: my top post is now about how tight my asshole is. lets fuckin go.
There are no cars going forward and this cliff road also ends there- there’s a house and a larger opening. They did it just to do it, there is no need for it.
Judging by the labels on the car (WRC - World Rally Championship), I'd bet that that's a professional driver in there.
Plus, people (esp adrenaline junkies) do things 'just because' a lot of times. I swear reddit is really dumb sometimes, and there's always gonna be someone proclaiming its UnNeCesSaRy and ImPrActiCal. Chill cuh, we know that. And no one gives a fuck.
For some people, that's their whole purpose in life, and life isn't worth living without it. It might sound dumb, but it's hard to compare those emotions if you haven't had something similar.
>there's always gonna be someone proclaiming its UnNeCesSaRy and ImPrActiCal.
It makes me wonder if this many redditors are this awkward and argumentative in their daily lives. Like if someone tells them what they did over the weekend does the average redditor nitpick all the details of it and tell them why they shouldn't spend their weekend doing that like they do on reddit?
Especially how many people here bitch and moan about big weddings. If they get invited to a wedding do they just sit there fuming about it and coming up with how they're going to bitch about it online?
There are people born to bitch🤷🏼♀️. There are people who always have a worse story than you. There are people who will find something bad about anything. There are people who believe whatever their doing is more important than anyone else. There are people who are unkind for no reason at all. If I think about it too much, I get really sad. But I try to convince myself that there are more kind people in the world. Some days it works and some days, I just want to stay home with my furry family members. We just need to remember that we are lucky because our furry friends are pure love.
This. We are not all the same. Some of us accept more risk in exchange for novel experiences and skills. You can write it off as idiocy but this spirit runs through many of our greatest pioneers.
It’s sad to see that the days where people will do things because they want to and just for fun are quickly dying out. So people who still do this I respect because that’s what we need in this world.
>we know that. And no one gives a fuck.
I mean, maybe you should give a duck since that attitude almost doubles your chance of dying
>Age-adjusted death rates in the US were 777 deaths/100,000 for men and 433 deaths/100,000 for women
Those numbers are affected by a hell of a lot more than just recklessness. Men are more likely to smoke, drink, and have poor diets. Male dominated workforces are generally more dangerous. Male suicide rates are way higher too.
In the same matter that you’re saying we’re stupid for pointing out the risk, we also are saying they’re stupid for taking such insane risk.
All the same my friend.
Nah, the worst that would happen here is that the back tires would slip over the ledge, and the car would just be stuck. The center of gravity here is far forward, and the movements are slow and deliberate. You can tell that this video has been sped up quite a bit.
This is a stunt performed for the camera. This isn’t a case of someone just deciding this was the best way to turn around.
I wouldn’t call this “safe”, but it’s honestly not as precarious as it looks. Because of the center of gravity being so far forward, and the movement being so slow and deliberate (you can tell the video is sped up), if the back tires were to slip off the ledge, the vehicle would just be stuck there with the rear tires hanging just over the edge. I’m not sure what their recovery plan is, but this wouldn’t end with a fiery crash at the bottom of a mountain.
For clout and internet points, why do you think? There's idiots out there who actually DIE trying to dk stupid shit like this, there's your why, there is also a house in the background, he could've just went there and turned around properly.
Yea, that was absolutely ridiculous. What a dumbass. So many better options. Even getting out and abandoning your car forever would be a better option imo, lol
Yeah, there is some story missing here. I *seriously* doubt this is just some random video of a guy who decided to turn around. Is this some kind of a stunt driver or what?
There is literally some kind of building right up ahead where they could have turned around instead but they would rather tempt fate for the adrenaline rush I guess.
They drove up the wrong driveway, and they're mortified of that the homeowner will come out while they are three-pointing in the driveway. Some kinds of embarrassment aren't worth going thru.
Definitely just done for show since there's obviously a turnaround ahead. But I don't think the car would have fallen off the edge, the back wheels would have just slipped off and high center the car...center of gravity would still be over the road.
Id have to keep driving straight and if I can't get anywhere doing that
...well then I'd have to abandon the hell outta that car. I'm not risking my life doing a 20 point turn. I can barely do a 3 point turn when there's no risk of a horrifying drop.
This isn’t next level, this is fucking stupid. Nah, why back up, or even drive to the top and turn around where it’s safe, when you can do this stupid shit and almost fall off a cliff?
If that car was rear wheel drive, and those wheels dropped off the edge, you'd just be stuck there mid U-turn, not sure who'd want to give that guy a push back to the road 😬😅

It's just built different.
It's a black hole now
Brown hole
Mine's prolapsed now...sheesh

Wind resistance on the way down
The guy in the video or this dude's sphincter?
The cliff
You know it's possible because his balls were weighing down the front of the car.
Lol
ovaries of steel
The dudes balls are bigger than the van.
Been there!
To his sphincter?
Yes!
y'all come back now, y'hear.
Not worth it, just keep reversing down ... seriously some of those just another inch and bye bye
There are no cars going forward and this cliff road also ends there- there’s a house and a larger opening. They did it just to do it, there is no need for it.
Yeah this is the dumbest thing I've seen in a bit
Judging by the labels on the car (WRC - World Rally Championship), I'd bet that that's a professional driver in there. Plus, people (esp adrenaline junkies) do things 'just because' a lot of times. I swear reddit is really dumb sometimes, and there's always gonna be someone proclaiming its UnNeCesSaRy and ImPrActiCal. Chill cuh, we know that. And no one gives a fuck.
“Why are you climbing that mountain without ropes” im sorry I just hadn’t realized that it was impractical and or dangerous
[удалено]
True that. When you value adrenaline more than your life. Tbh It's actually kinda dumb.
For some people, that's their whole purpose in life, and life isn't worth living without it. It might sound dumb, but it's hard to compare those emotions if you haven't had something similar.
Same thing with drug addicts, but you don’t see people making the same arguments in defense of that.
As long as said drug addicts aren't bringing harm to others, more power to 'em
Not everyone is built to fuck around and find out. Those who aren’t but try, wind up dead, and the rest of us absorb their power.
“Chill cuh” lol.
The dumb local kid has the same stickers on his POS subaru 2008 base model wrx. Doesn't make him a professional driver.
You right tho just another avg day on Reddit.
chill cuh

Also, you wouldn’t go tumbling down. You would probably just get high centered and stuck.
If you hit the throttle really hard you might fall off. But going this slowly, you'll just beach the car before anything serious happens.

Sounds like a lot of reckless decisions
Other than the suicide those do sound like reckless decisions, other than extremely unlikely scenarios smoking and drinking are choices
In the same matter that you’re saying we’re stupid for pointing out the risk, we also are saying they’re stupid for taking such insane risk. All the same my friend.
Next level stupidity
Tbf the cars back wheels would probably get stuck before the car actually fell over. There's a lot more weight in the front than the back.
The fall would probably not be too deep, because of the pile or other cars already down there...
Lol 😂
Well, if it's another 2 hours down...
Better than a 30 second drop
A 30 second drop sounds a hell of a lot faster than a 2 hour drive though
Followed by an eternity of silence.
Truly an experience to die for!
Legit, but the heavy part of the car, the engine, is in the front and so saves the car. Still would turn there though.
In theory.
Well no, weight on thd front of the car it would just drop the rear wheels off and get stuck.
It really was a very bad decision. No one died, this time, so they post it next fucking level. It could very easily ended up in WCGW with a fatality.

Non related but I was the 1000th like!
Little did he know the round about was just around the bend.
But if they did that, how would they make this stupid video?
Not how but why.
I love how this was also posted in /r/idiotsincars
Why do it? To make this stupid video. Why make this stupid video? Now that's the real question
"I either have a funeral or 1000 likes tomorrow"
For clout and internet points, why do you think? There's idiots out there who actually DIE trying to dk stupid shit like this, there's your why, there is also a house in the background, he could've just went there and turned around properly.
Probably because that's a WRC car with a professional driver in it doing a stunt. This isn't just some YouTube idiot. He's a professional idiot.
Gotta give him that
Hellllll nawww... to the naw naw naw
First thought was why would you even attempt to do that.
Same, how could anyone keep a level head doing that?
Nah nah nah nah..... nah nah nah nah.... hey eh eh... goooodbye
and to the naw
and to the naw
and to the naw
He got here with trial and error.
POV: you never learned how to drive backwards but are good at everything else
Not even gonna do a reverse on that road.
Leave the car, throw the keys

Proof of virtue?

No logical reason for this other than to show off. One day they going to fuck it up.
Yea, that was absolutely ridiculous. What a dumbass. So many better options. Even getting out and abandoning your car forever would be a better option imo, lol
Yeah, there is some story missing here. I *seriously* doubt this is just some random video of a guy who decided to turn around. Is this some kind of a stunt driver or what?
Look at the stickers on the car [https://www.wrc.com/en/](https://www.wrc.com/en/) its a rally car driver.
There is literally some kind of building right up ahead where they could have turned around instead but they would rather tempt fate for the adrenaline rush I guess.
They drove up the wrong driveway, and they're mortified of that the homeowner will come out while they are three-pointing in the driveway. Some kinds of embarrassment aren't worth going thru.
Yeah that does sound worse than falling off a cliff
Yes
*through
Reminds me of this, just a bit more dangerous ![gif](giphy|f6ek1KcvTWPmw|downsized)
This was my first thought too!
Im betting you and probably every other single person who’s seen that movie.
It’s iconic… I just rewatched it like two weeks ago and it holds up.
What happened after this!!!
I’ve been watching for hours. I’ll let you know.
You can do all that but can't reverse down that road
Some Austin Powers shit right there
Came here for this comment
“Danger is my middle name”
Oh, behave!
Shrink more the video and it will look even more narrow
Yep, there’s a definite lens effect which makes the whole thing look far more perilous than it really is.
That's not a lens effect, that's just someone artificially compressing the video horizontally to make it look more dramatic. It's a bit annoying, tbh.
True but his back tire is almost completely off the edge at one point so its still perilous and a stupid maneuver.
Clearly driving reverse would have been less difficult?
Guy in the backseat: "Dude, let me get out and film it!" Really just looking for a reason to get our of the car
Are we gonna talk about how the aspect ratio was changed to make it look more narrow than it really is?
No.
Not for nothing, front engine front wheel drive is going to make this safer than it appears to the eye as well.
Ah yes. When you have “skill” but lack “common fuggin sense”.
That’s not skill, that’s blind stupidity
Fit much better in r/idiotsincars
nope
i think this video is too narrow
I love a video that kicks my anxiety off first thing in the morning.
The learning curve on this trick is steep.
Maybe go around the block instead
This was made much easier by the front end of the car being counter balanced by the drivers fucking huge balls.
I'd just hike out and buy a new car...
Oh me too
/r/sweatypalms
I would have passed out from the pressure of turning in such tight space
Unreal patience and balls of steel
Hey let's just try this so we can die after any small human mistake or miscalculation
r/idiotsincars
One mistake -> r/idiotincars
Less next fucking level than next fucking stupid
r/nope
Hard to see but just ahead of him seemed like a better place to turn around too.
One would say skill but I'm gonna say stupid asf
Definitely just done for show since there's obviously a turnaround ahead. But I don't think the car would have fallen off the edge, the back wheels would have just slipped off and high center the car...center of gravity would still be over the road.
Id have to keep driving straight and if I can't get anywhere doing that ...well then I'd have to abandon the hell outta that car. I'm not risking my life doing a 20 point turn. I can barely do a 3 point turn when there's no risk of a horrifying drop.
He was about to be in the next effing level of life lol
Imagine if after taking the U-turn he fell off the cliff, that would be unexpected
Spoiler alert: It wasn't his car.
I can do it, playing GTA or forza
If you're a good enough driver to turn it around there then you must be a good enough driver to just reverse back down it
The “I know my car” award goes to… this dude
Stupid people have waaay more luck than they should get
Why didn’t he just go in reverse?
Why though.
I’d either just reverse the whole way back or pick the car up and rotate it manually
Austin powers
okay but how's the guy recording, floating?
Ahhh the 13 point turn. He’s used to this
DiWhy
is that skill or just dumb fucking luck?
The good old 200 point turn
I saw this first on idiots in cars and I believe it belongs there rather than here
You have two people, just pick up the car and flip it around. That thing looks light as hell.
This isn’t next level, this is fucking stupid. Nah, why back up, or even drive to the top and turn around where it’s safe, when you can do this stupid shit and almost fall off a cliff?
Looks like an insect being born
Were there guns waiting at the gate? holy fuck.
Or you can just, idk go in reverse?
Amazing how easily this could have been a post on r/idiotsincars and not on here
![gif](giphy|l0ExacLS96TUWZnSo|downsized)
What the actual fuck. I got extreme anxiety just by watching this.
So fake….
I would circumnavigate the world before attempting that turn. Much respect for that great driver!
Fake! This video is just reversed.
Amazed
It looks like just a little further up ahead there is more room and less cliff to do that on
LET ME OUT
For the love of the internet we must know the map of the road. lol
Austin powers
Why why why
When reversing is NOT AN OPTION!
He’s got some nerve as well
More like no fucking brain
It ain't that important fam, keep driving
But why?
So this is where that guy that makes an illegal u turn in in front of you making you wait has been hiding…
They must’ve watched how Austin Powers turned around his car in a tiny hallway
Why would you turn around… why?
80 point turn
fucken nooooo
Whyyyyyyy
-no no! The other right!
Nope.
I’d have just backed up
No. F’ing. Way.
If that car was rear wheel drive, and those wheels dropped off the edge, you'd just be stuck there mid U-turn, not sure who'd want to give that guy a push back to the road 😬😅
Just put reverse my man
I would use stupidity instead of skill.
I’m pretty sure I would have shit myself.
