Jesse C I don’t believe it. 5 point or not. Your head still gets whipped around. I worked for 15 yrs in EMS and there’s no way they wouldn’t of had some kind of cervical pain/injury.
@@spacecadet0 It's true. You run your pickup into the fence outside circle k and you've gotta have some way to pay for the 30 grand of damage... Jay just cut's the check.
It may sounds horrible having an accident like this, but imagine you have this accident with one of your idols in one of your favorite cars and managing being unharmed. That makes the experience 10x intense and a really good story to tell!
Jim Daniel the driver bob riggle had been driving the hemi under glass barracudas since the 1960s and had never rolled one . it happened with leno on an oval track instead of a dragstrip where it should have been .
A family friend has a Ural. One day he and my grown son were off riding it. Suddenly they pulled up in my driveway. My son hopped out of the sidecar, ran into the kitchen, grabbed my fire extinguisher, and ran back out to the Ural. As he was getting back into the sidecar I asked him why he needed the fire extinguisher. He said, "Better safe than sorry," and off they went. Just the thing every mom wants to hear.
@@sepg5084 That bump is what did it, that car set up to drag racing with drag shocks and slicks can't take an upset in the track like that. If you knew it was coming maybe but if you knew you would avoid it all together.
@@PlanetEarth3141 I thought it was pretty clever when I heard it. I figured I'd share it and give other people a chuckle. I wish I could remember who said it, but it was some stand up comedian.
I love how, when any other bike would stall out or wheelspin accidentally driving into a mound like that at such low rpm, the Ural just chugs right up!
I saw the "Hemi Under Glass" at our local regional drag strip back in the late 60's, I think. I can't remember, dammit! He didn't flip it over, but rode it all the way down the track on the rear two wheels. With the engine in the back of the car, it was a handling nightmare. The street version wasn't much better when modified to look like a dragster. I was in my friend's 1965 fastback, which was all jacked up in the back with little tires on the front. It was a fuggly, cheap Valiant with a mostly glass fastback stuck on it. The big thing then at Dodge was to stuff a huge engine into the cheapest striped down economy car, like the Roadrunner, made to go fast in a straight line. On this night, my friend decided to kick in the "three dueces" while going up a winding 3 lane road. At the first bend, it slid sideways all the way over to the other side of the road...in blind curve. Luckily, he was able to save it and nobody was coming down the hill. He sold it to his cousin who crashed it in a curve, hitting a tree that literally cut the car in half, killing the 3 teenagers. Tough summer...
I miss being able to watch Leno's garage for free on youtube! I always loved seeing new episodes! And that last one, Hemi under Glass... that one scared me silly!
I heard "Dodge Charjaneh"....close enough. Especially if you are Jay Leno because his head is filled with hundreds of times as much car facts as a normal person.
I can't believe that guy flipped his Barracuda over several times! That's gonna' cost em'! I have notice that it seems rhat most of the time, J. Leno is not wearing a safety belt, also also the person with him, if there are one, but it's a good thing he was wearing one on that last clip!
I saw the Hemi under glass in person, & that episode many yrs later. I had a bad feeling when he got the rear wheels hopping & the car not tracking straight.
