That has to be a record for the longest Internet Video!

That Hospital looks primitive by our standards.

When I saw the stickers.... I knew right off that was a Gumball car. Really makes you want to slow down.

Wow. Well... that does say a lot for wearing seatbelts and how well built Vipers are. Both walked away which is VERY rare.

I think the car was travelling 120kmph and not 150mph, have a look on the MB console. The car had rollbars and 5 point harness ... and never rolled on the top ... They were really lucky.

All of us should have 5 point harness in these cars.

Did a tire go pop? What caused that spin?

WOW! Amazing vid glad Tork got out ok. Lauri thanks for the find.

As one of the members of the crew states they were on a extremely bumpy road and Tork went ahead of them about a mile or two. They came across two dips in the road, the second one causing the rear of the car to bounce and send it flying off the road.

I watched the video repeatedly and it was pretty amazing. I don't think they ever found the front end. I saw the rear lying about 20 ft. from where the car stopped.

Viper GTS-R, I'm about to crush your Gran Turismo 3 car! But you have a handicap, it's not yellow.

Did anyone notice the guys pants as he was being walked towards the ambulance.

Looks like he lost control of more than his car.
