Note the door flying off at the near point to the camera.

could have been zoomed and thus he was far enough to feel safe.


I don't think so - you can more or less gauge his position when the camera pivots, and he's clearly right up against the barrier. I call steelballs.

I think the trajectory of the car was such that he thought he was perfectly safe. Not taking into account that the car could have twisted and slapped him off his perch was what put this guy in the manly man geographic.

I'd disagree. Nothing "perfectly safe" going on at any point in this video. You are at slight risk just watching it.

He stood his ground. He only had a couple of seconds to react, realized he wasn't going to be able to move far anyway, and kept filming. He's a pro.

Hence the word "thought". Indicating thought on the part of the cameraman. As in, he "thought" he was safe. That's where he thinks he's safe. Only past tense. Thought. Get it?

Ok, it's fun to think he's just got king kong's testicles dangling twix those legs, but that's what i really think it was

I like how he put "how safe these cars are," and "the dangers involved in top class motor sport" in the same sentence. It's like how totally harmless and !!!BRUTALLY DANGEROUS!!! a tiger cub is.
