Maybe they’re wearing bowling sandals.
When I was little, my Uncle lived in Saudi Arabia and told me that the vehicular death rate there was insane (like > 50%). I always doubted it but I read something similar a few years ago. Maybe the problem is as simple as the fact that they don’t don’t know you are supposed to to ride inside the car.
That is a really cool video! It’s even dumber than the classic “Get on the hood of the car and tie your arms to the doors and then drive” stunts of my youth.
This other one doesn’t beat it, but it’s still awesome - moreso because of the commentary from the other guys:
He’s doing it all bro!
I would also like to know what’s on those Saudi guys’ shoes…
The one guy’s shoes appeared to be slip-on sandals with no back strap.
OMG. I think I went grey just reading that. Watching the video gave me the…uh…vapors, or something… :eek:
I kept hoping one of the doors would shut on them, or that they would fall…then Darwin would have been pleased.
I added more detail to the thread title. Nothing personal, AK84- but even if you want to create some suspense, it’s good to give people some idea what they’ll be seeing if they click the link.
Maybe.
(I love you.)
I have actually seen a guy do this while riding a motorcycle at like 2 in the morning on a road. I couldn’t believe it.
You never did this? Out of the back of a Datsun 510. Burned the hell out of sneakers, but hell, they were old. Worked better if you had leather soled shoes or sandals, which is what it looked like they had.
Why? Cause… there were towlines. And…
Well, I still say it was more fun than surfing on the car.
What does this figure mean? Over half of all Saudi’s die on the roads? Half of all road-using Saudi’s die on the road? No way.
Well don’t know how they did it (definitely something with the shoes… no way regular sandals could “skate” that way)… But it beats the hell out of those dumb videos of people driving their cars or pickups real slow, getting out, jumping on the roof then getting back in.
Most of the time they didn’t get back in and ran into a ditch or telephone pole or something. One, I remember, got his legs run over by his own truck.
Can’t find them on youtube now but don’t even remember if thats where I saw them.
Maybe they got the idea from the people that light roman candles out of their asses.
It’s called ghost riding [your whip]. Try searching for that.
No, no, you don’t need special shoes. And nobody here remembers the car surfing fad of the 80s? (On the car, not behind it.)
… Seriously, am I the only person who’s done it?
Resolved: E-Sabbath is crazy!
What do doctors call people that do stupid stunts like that?
Donors.
Hey, look at the fancy new spoiler box!
Well, in my time we didn’t have these fancy spoiler boxes: we had to walk three miles through the snow to highlight some black text with our pointers. And we liked it!
