he was going in way too fast if he did have to cut to the inside. I almost think colliding the car might have been the thing that kept him from going over the falls in his barrel.

I did a cycling camp in Italy with a domestic pro team where we climbed a stage of the Giro d'Italia. Some of the locals took the straight bit of the descent (way steeper than this) with no hands on the bars while zipping up with wet cow patties littering the road.
Some people I think have no sense of danger, even when they see professional riders getting killed on descents like in 2011 at the Giro.
