Even professional extreme athletes don't always get things right. Before performing a new dangerous stunt, they rehearse for a long time and try to anticipate all possible scenarios. However, even thorough preparation sometimes doesn't save from surprises. That's exactly what happened with the recent car jump by Guerlain Chicherit, which, despite all efforts, turned out to be a failure.
For those hearing this name for the first time, let's briefly explain: Guerlain Chicherit is a French athlete who traded alpine skiing for car racing. He has made a name for himself in a number of extreme competitions, including the Dakar, and has also performed several risky stunts behind the wheel of a Mini Countryman. For instance, a year earlier, he performed a backflip in a car and was entered into the Guinness Book of Records for this achievement.
Wanting to continue the series of records, this year he planned a 110-meter (360-foot) jump in a car at a ski resort in the French Alps. Unfortunately, the plan couldn't be realized.
Upon landing, the car unexpectedly flipped in the air. The whole event unfolded before a large audience. Below is the official video of what happened:
