    The guy made a nice "save" ...may have been luck .

    Sure could have been ALOT worse.

    HOLY $*!%!!!

    That is some scary stuff...

    What caused that...he seemed to be going straight and fine. Did he hit the brakes too hard at the end?

    That is a great video for three reasons...nobody got hurt, minimal damage, and how he stopped right in front of the camera is just plain eerie. :yikes:

    It appears the Maro is out of the groove and broke traction in a shift or brake...either way...everyone is very lucky...it's amazing the guy in the late model kept it straight.
