Saw these on another forum. Not sure the exact story. Everybody kept saying how "lucky" the man was:

Wow!
What is interesting to me is the guard or “guide” railing directly above the outlet structure. Most guide rail systems have metal supports throughout except at the ends. This is a measure allowing the rail to collapse, and thus absorb the impact instead of potentially piercing the vehicle by being more rigid in the event of a crash into the blunt end of the railing. However, in this case they utilized the breakaway supports directly over this death happy ravine. I would think of all places that section would be designed to be more of a “guard” instead of a “guide” system.
(btw, the reason for the change from guard rail to guide rail is of course a lawsuit by someone who claimed the railing did not guard them as it’s label suggests
).

I did a search to try to find the story behind the pictures. I couldn't find it. I did find another amazing picture. This one appears to still have the driver in the vehicle.Looks like your boat could someday save your life.
Wow, that's amazing too!
I think I'll walk..
