Safe for work, but not sure if safe for kids.

How fast is that guy going when he hits the wall ?

    It's amazing how the spirit wills one to live on through something like that.

    H-Power like that needs to be respected. I did'nt even see the chute deploy in the carnage.

    Aww, man. I'm sure that's an adrenaline rush to drive those things...but sometimes you just have to stop and think...is it really worth it?

    I mean, think about his family and his responsibilites/duties to them.

    I always thought you were supposed to drive parallel with the barriers, not straight into them.

    I guess at that speed, how could he avoid the barrier. Frightening!

    Okay.. I know it's a stereotype and it may offend some people, but I'm just going to go ahead and say it becasue you all know its true..
















    Hamsters are terrible drivers.
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore
