âOh no!â ? Doesnât sound like they enjoyed it very much.

Didnât live up to hype. Would not do again.
I am impressed by his ability to keep this short film firmly G-rated.
Aw⌠it didnât blow up at the end? Why didnât it blow up? They always blow up in the moviesâŚ
I assume this was at the tunnels between Mt Islip and Kratka ridge, driving westbound.
The road is usually pretty well maintained there. How did he loose control this bad?
If you read his accompanying text on you tube, partially driving too fast cause oooh zoom loud cool in da tunnel, and then a turn he was going too fast for and couldnât see because of light entering the tunnel. Basically he was being dumb and exceeding the envelope for the road conditions.
Not only that, but he was apparently using a hand-held camera (or phone? dunno) as well as the dashcam. Iâm puzzled as to why he includes the hand-held footage (from 0:34 to 0:58) but fails to mention that fact in his PSA. Seems like it mightâve been a contributing factor, no?
So thatâs why all the fire engines, ambulances etc were flying up the Angeles Crest road as I was coming down from a walk at Mt Wilson that dayâŚ
Much more spectacular ones linked from that vid, but lacking the implicit â⌠and surviveâ bit.
I bet a funny thing about driving a car off a cliff is, while youâre in midair, you still hit those brakes! Hey, better try the emergency brake!

I think he started slipping when he started modding a Forester for autocross.
Very true. LOL So many people today drive front wheel drive cars that have a ton of understeer designed into them. A friend rebuilt he suspension on his 1984 Jetta so it handled like a rear engine, rear wheel drive Porsche. It would oversteer like mad. Iâm wondering if the guy didnât get some unintended effects out of his obvious suspension mods.
It was a Subaru, so itâs AWD. He probably fucked it up by modding his car, like you said.
Perhaps some wascally wabbit stole the.Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator?
Yeah, I saw the aftermarket hoodscoop on a Forester and knew it wouldnât end well. Glad he survived. But thatâs a steep hill, not a cliff.
Now thatâs a cliff!
Everybody thinks theyâre Mad Max, right until they drive off a cliff.
Here ya go:
Sounds like the guy was accelerating out of the tunnel and into the turn.
