I've got two. I think the camera-man should see a doctor.

could have been zoomed and thus he was far enough to feel safe.

I don't think so - you can more or less gauge his position when the camera pivots, and he's clearly right up against the barrier. I call steelballs.

I think the trajectory of the car was such that he thought he was perfectly safe. Not taking into account that the car could have twisted and slapped him off his perch was what put this guy in the manly man geographic.

Should be *eia because I think the cameraman was too scared to move, so he kept filming. Or he's just too dumb to act on his fight/flight reflex.

Invocations (eia) cannot be called by Tymbrwulf because Tymbrwulf is not privileged - sorry.

I'd disagree. Nothing "perfectly safe" going on at any point in this video. You are at slight risk just watching it.

He stood his ground. He only had a couple of seconds to react, realized he wasn't going to be able to move far anyway, and kept filming. He's a pro.

Hence the word "thought". Indicating thought on the part of the cameraman. As in, he "thought" he was safe. That's where he thinks he's safe. Only past tense. Thought. Get it?

Ok, it's fun to think he's just got king kong's testicles dangling twix those legs, but that's what i really think it was

In the stills you can see his left arm looks like hes hanging partially onto the roof / inner of his door as he flies through the air.

I like how he put "how safe these cars are," and "the dangers involved in top class motor sport" in the same sentence. It's like how totally harmless and !!!BRUTALLY DANGEROUS!!! a tiger cub is.

Pretty sure the "clonk" sound @00:24 is created by the flying door bouncing off his left testicle.

C'mon, that's ridiculous. No one has five balls.
