Of all the incredible close calls and near death experiences we have shown you over the years, we believe that this video featuring a rally corner worker being saved by a well placed, sturdy tree could be the craziest. This guy was literally doomed as an out of control car was making a bee-line for him at a speed that was not going to allow him to get away. As you can see in the lead photos, the dude is trying to beat feet from the scene but without that tree, he’d be a goner.
The actual crash itself would be crazy enough without the element of the human life hanging in the balance. You’ll see this rally car come around the corner somehow get up on two wheels and then roll on the roof before meeting up with the arbor day surprise. We’re not sure what caused the car to get up on two wheels rather than just go into a four wheel drift and slide off the course but this looks like a stunt straight out of the movies. The corner worker starts to move about one second before the car impacts the tree. We’re not saying he is slow but we are saying that the chance of escape was exactly 0.0%.
Moral of the story? Trees are strong. Don’t hit them….but you can hide behind ’em!
