    Lucky?

    Not sure if luck or 10,000 angles had something to do with the fact they didn't go over! That is a long way down! How many feet do you guess it is to the bottom? It looks about 13 truck lengthsto the pile of rock below so that would be about 200 to 250 deep. Is that a fair guess?

        we had these pics at one of our safety meetings. I t ahppened in Alberta on Highway25 (I think it was 25), and was in the news and everything - lucky bugger!!
        He lost control went up the the bank on the opposite side to where we're looking then swung back and flew over the bridge landing where we see him!

            son ofa..... well that'll teach me to believe what I'm told. I really am too trusting.
            Thanks for setting it straight! I've got a few people to tell Monday morning.
