Drifting and a 'razed' view

2008 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

There are some motorists in Qatar that think that drifting is cool and fun, especially in the desert. Also, in order to get some fresh air, they stick their head out of the sunroof.

But if you drift too violently, especially with a top-heavy car like SUV, prepare to turn over, especially if doing manoeuvers that entail a very high risk of this happening.

Preferably, this shouldn't happen while your passenger enjoys the raised view provided by an open sunroof and the car flips over.

Else, it's usually a 'razed' view, with your head and some other body parts either razed off or smashed.

Unfortunately I cannot get the video to work!!!! I will try again later, but I will keep this afloat for my fellow moderators. From your description, it sounds like it could be a contender...thanks, Rene!

Neutral: Honorable Mention
The video clip only worked in Internet Explorer for me, which isn't my browser of choice. The clip also ends almost immediately after the car rolls so it's impossible to tell if the individual in question survived or not. Given the quality of the video and the fact that this could use a much better writeup I'm willing to give it a marginal vote for an HM. Thanks, Rene.
