That depends entirely on where you are and what you are using it for.

Almost. The craft pictured is a Lun-class ekranoplan, the Caspain Sea Monster was a KM-class.

Uhm, I think he was actually getting out to look at the accident he probably just got in from someone stopped in the middle of the highway... still a very bad idea, but I wouldn't say he deserves it.

yeah ive been rear ended before in the middle of a freeway, i didnt get out, drove to the shoulder, parked off the road in the grass...

and yes he deserves it, hes an idiot... if i did something really stupid and got really hurt... i wouldnt feel bad for myself nor would i want anyone else to...

when a situation like that process through my head i think
"cars doing 70-80 mph, 1 out of 5 are probably on the phone, 10 out of 10 chance im probably going to get hit if im out there longer than 30 seconds..."
or
" i just got hit, im stopped on the freeway, in 30 seconds my car is probably going to get totaled or im going to cause a pile up, neither are good..."

But seriously why the hell are you stopped in the middle of the freeway? AND GETTING out of the car. How dumb.

And I don't think it's the driver's fault for hitting the pedestrian. Since.. they idiots were stopped in the road.

The driver really didn't see the guy, cuz his wheels are still spinning at the same speed as from earlier in the clip. Doesnt look like he slowed down at all Cell phone user?

I thought the dude was for sure done but apparently the only injury he suffered were 2 broken legs! Amazing! The guy that jumped into the van was very lucky.

I'm sorry is it wrong for me to ? Because you'd have to be an idiot to stop & get out on a freeway like that.

And the drivers of those cars that hit those people, I say, PAY THE **** ATTENTION It could have been easily be avoidable, imo.

I think it was slow-mo'd

And I was referring to the guy in the black vehicle. Not the Rav4. Who shouldn't be at fault. The Rav4 total at fault. lol

The driver of the black sedan who hit the guy clearly did not know where is the best course of action to avoid accident. There are two wide open lanes on the *right* where he/she could have missed the guy. Instead, he/she tried to squeeze to the left, without knowing there is a vehicle just on that lane already.

Well, if the black car does not steer left and stop, it would hit the Rav 4, and plunge into the van. The guy inside the van may get hit on his leg as well because his legs may not be inside just in time.

I would say it is 100% the black sedan's fault. He/she was driving too fast too close to the Rav 4, and not paying attention on his front traffic, and not steering to the *right* direction to avoid the accident. Although, that guy could still be hit by the vehicle filming the whole thing, but it would be just a bruise to the body.

Edit: one last observation. The guy actually landed on his buttocks and bounce off a bit. I wonder if there is any spinal damage besides the legs.
