German Entertainment

Here's a clip of a really popular German show.

Don't know how much longer it's going to be on now.

He won right? The bet was that he'd clear the car, not that he had to do it safely.

This was his 4th jump. He cleared the other 3 cars just fine.

OWW!

My wife just told me he is talking but is in critical condition and is paralyzed.

Hey, we weren't the first to nearly kill a guy on live TV!

U-S-A! U-S-A!

I dunno what's more horrifying--seeing that kid mortally wound himself in front of his parents, or reading the comments--which make it clear that most of the people using the internets are sociopaths.

Japanese game shows are dumber, but with fewer injuries.

What did he win? Wasn't worth it.

HIs father was driving that last car. I can't imagine the guilt and grief he's feeling.

Something good did come out of this though:

Justin Bieber was not able to perform after the accident... just looking on the bright side...

Really?

I didn't see a problem with the comments. What's horrifying to me is that his parents would not only be there, but participate, and people would actually make the effort required to go see something like this.

That is really sad.

What amazed me (I read about it on BBC) was that this show's about 30yrs old. I can't even make my usual remark about "Idiocracy" coming true when they've been doing it for three decades..
