Guy wearing yellow hard-hat, yelling to driver: "Yes, I am sure Emergency Rescue will bring clean underwear!"

Funny enough that is a pic taken right by my house I drove by that and even stopped on the dam where that pic was taken to look at it. The lake he was heading to is about 150 feet away just out of the pic to the right.

It was done with two giant tow trucks. Quite the scene!

Well the slope of the cliff isn't as bad as the pic makes it out to be. But if he had gotten enough momentum to keep going he would have been dead as there is a gnarly 40-50 drop off right below where he is at.

Can't say I don't blame the boat for pushing that guy over the cliff...I hate Chevy's too...maybe the boat has a Ford motor in it??
