    Doesn't look like a public road to me? If not, I don't really see the problem...

    It's not a public road. It's a farmyard, but sure they'll go mad about it anyway.

    As others have said, if its on private property, and by a "professional" stunt driver, there aint much wrong with it!

    They weren't actually on the road, they should be done for not having a pilots license. :D

    I can now see the latest craze, posting anonymous Utube stunts and trying to get away with them

    The jump itself was great, but over a public road?

    You can see there is someone standing on the road, probably would stop anyone if they happened to come along. It doesn't look much bigger than a one car road anyway

    I don't see the issue tbh. Ballsy stunt, saying that he could have killed himself if it landed nose first

    They never should have made such a big deal out of the first one. Every idiot is going to be at it now.

    I'm sure they had people (maybe with radios) to stop up traffic, twas hardly a motorway. FFS, the RSA will be able to do you for picking your nose in your own driveway with the engine off soon...

    It's a public road, where if one thing went wrong someone could be killed. And I doubt they had radios if they allowed pedestrians to stroll underneath. If someone was walking in the wrong place they could be clipped by the back wheels and be stone dead. Sorry, but I think it's retarded.

    I thought he was going to lose it on the bend and smash into the concrete shed that the cameraman was standing on.

    I really don't think that was a strolling pedestrian.

    I'm assuming it's not that high off the road? If so, what if there was a truck, or tractor driving down the road at the same time?

    Then the pedestrian would have DIED! OMG!



    Or waved them down as you would if cattle were crossing the road or whatever.
    One is more likely than the other..

    Would you stop if some randomer waved you down on a quiet country road?

    At 0.11 you see a car going along the "road". The car looks very small. I'd estimate that there's no chance in hell of the car in question being able to make it to that road at the speed that they went at.

    Watched it again there and you're right it does look like he was involved. Still though, on private property that would have been excellent, but inches above potential traffic on a public road is lunacy.

    Under the car, not in the distance.
