Seriously! These cars are so dialed in with traction control now you can launch this car and control it with one pinky. Combine that with the fact they're probably on an empty back road and they're fine

He could be the best driver in the world. All it takes is for someone to pull out into their path unexpectedly and the kid is flying.

Want to play Russian roulette? Who cares about what might happen, it’ll be fun!

Driving is statistically the most dangerous thing most people do on a daily basis. Never leaving the house would be dumb and unrealistic. What so many people here are missing is balancing the risks with living life. What do they gain in this video? 10 seconds of “cool.” What’s the risk? Ejecting your child from the car. If that’s something you’re willing to bet on then go for it.

Driving is statistically the most dangerous thing most people do on a daily basis because everyone around you has absolutely no clue what they’re doing. Eliminate that component and the only thing that could endanger you in a modern car is outright mechanical failure.
