Steering would have been a good idea...video link

The slo-mo version of this is great. Full screen view it if you can. Note the person who doesn't get out of the way and count the number of full rotations when the dudes crash. Tony Hawk can't even pull off those kind of spins.

Might have to right-click it, if not, the intended video is titled "Hill Sliding".

Ouch.. I agree, it looks like they might have been hurt... But that begs the question, why were they sliding down a steep gravel hill on some dangerous looking thing in the first place?
I think we've got an honorable mention for the Darwin Awards on our hands here.

I understand your take on it, and we don't know how it ended up, so, as you speculate that some serious injuries may have occurred, I speculate they got up, dusted themselves off, and had a beer.

Not trying to sound like a prick about it, just optimistic. The one guy gets right up as soon as he stops. I'm hoping the helmets did their job.
