Video: Bloke tries to jump moving car… it doesn’t go as planned

This video could have gone very wrong, very quickly, but thanks to some sheer luck it actually ended quite well.

This video could have gone very wrong, very quickly, but thanks to some sheer luck it actually ended quite well.

We’ve seen people jumping over speeding cars before and landing some pretty cool flips, but we’ve never seen what happens when things go wrong, and frankly, we’re glad we haven’t…

The bloke is lucky that only his feet smashed into the car’s windscreen and not  something worse, like his head. While we’re glad that the bloke wasn’t killed, you’d have to feel a bit sorry for his mate who was driving the car. She’ll be having nightmares for weeks…

Here’s what the video’s description says on YouTube: “I meant to jump over my friend’s car and I proved that I could jump high enough. She drove towards me at 40 mph and I jumped way to late and got hit by the car.

“Somehow I ended up doing a side flip and when I opened my eyes I saw the ground and landed on my feet. I was in so much shock I just ran away from the car trying to get my mind together.

“This is not fake, I have background footage and pictures of my legs and her windshield and all that. You can also see the windshield being busted if you slow down the first clip enough.”
