I wonder if anyone has a story behind ths picture? It was sent to me by a friend... and there's no telling how old it is.<br /><br />Looks like the guy got going too fast on a hill, tried to slow, and the trailer forced a jack-knife in the wrong direction!<br /><br />Rex S.<br /><br />

Yikes - what a shot !<br /><br />That guys boat is all that is holding him up from oblivion ! Looks like he's about to climb out the window. Real Hollywood stunt action stuff.<br /><br />I wonder if he got out ok ?<br /><br />Great picture !

:eek: i bet that guy hadda check his ********* with a stick! i wonder if (when he got out) he planted a big fat smooch on the boat?!! that is too scary. i'd of been screaming for a semi-wrecker to get a friggin hook on my truck frame asap. if this guy had a wife, she probably passed out cold when seeing this pic :D

You know... If you look REAL close... Either the guy in the driver's side has long hair, or it's a lady.... But if you turn your head sideways and look, it could just be the drivers' arm, with the driver still buckled into his/her seat.<br /><br />Rex S.

Brings a whole new meaning to Chevy's theme song. "Like a rock".<br /><br />It's about to fall like one!

Re: Hold on tight....

As a person who does Special Effects and I have worked with allot of differant stunt people in the movie industry....the picture makes me question a few things.<br /><br />First, I question the validity of the photo...I tend to believe it may be staged. It is an amazing clear photo taken from what vantage point? The lighting is perfect too.<br /><br />Second, no one looks like there is any panic, in fact one man just has his arms folded?<br /><br />Third, 10 people standing in the photo with only one parked car... and one person just driving past.<br /><br />I just tend to doubt the photo to be an accident. If it WAS an accident someone needs driving lessons and I would love to have the name of that trailer manufacturer.<br /><br />BOB

The picture cant be too old, that is at least a 2001 Mustang on the left side of the picture.

Re: Hold on tight....

seems like the ball would break off. I wonder if the safety chains were holding it up?
