Metal Barrier Narrowly Saves Rally Driver From Plummeting Down Steep Cliff
Tomasz Kasperczyk was driving the first stage of the Rally Islas Canaries when a small mistake led to him slamming into a metal barrier, which just about managed to save his Ford Fiesta R5 from tumbling down a massive cliff
Kasperczyk was competing in the FIA European Rally Championship round on the Canary Isles when he seemingly misjudged a slow corner and smashed into a metal barrier. It was a pretty hefty hit. Thankfully the barrier was there, even if it looked a bit flimsy and was completely bent out of shape with the force of the crash.
It left the Fiesta R5 with two wheels over the edge of the steep cliff - had the barrier gave way it could have been a much nastier accident. Kasperczyk and his co-driver were OK after the hit, although they were probably a bit shaken by the shunt and how close they came to dropping off the edge of the road…

I think the driver’s seat needs replacing now.
Damm someone check his pants lol
“OK” Well that’s good to hear!
Do you think they’ve stopped screaming yet?
God bless metal barriers!
If i was the co-driver…
His hand reflexes were fast enough for him to move them from the arrow keys to the life saver button, and pressed it before the car fell off the cliff and killed him.
Ironic sticker on the back window: “Got talent? Prove it!”
“Got talent, prove it.”
When you’re a guard rail but hugging your best friend which is a car is life
