Shooting this was scary. I filmed this from about a half a mile away with limited view and some good wind gusts. Judging how far away I was from the rocks was challenging for me even through the screen. A lack of experience on my part flying only FPV.
​
 
Where the vehicle was situated seemed to indicate that he literally drove down side of the cliff. A puzzling aspect though is what became of the doors? They fly off on impact? The whole vehicle seemed m,ore of a frame before the body panels are attached. Or, was this a stunt gone wrong?
 
I was wondering the same thing. It is possible the doors flew off on impact or were torn in the surf. The car is at a location where it is slammed against the rocks when the tide is right. Not a stunt, just a tourist from Singapore who was unfamiliar with the road.
 
Not wondering about Singapore, but isn't it dangerous driving there? Also, to drive fast on a road I'm sure had all sorts of warning signs, is dangerous if you can't read them. Since the guy survive, he's got a story to tell his friends when he returns home.

Surprisingly, there are not that many signs warning people of the danger. Then again, all you have to do is look down and you will know if you screw up your dead. For some reason that specific spot seems to have been the death of the most people. There are four foot walls of dirt and sand preventing people from driving off the edge, but then again, if you hit them fast enough I guess they would just become small ramps.
