We just witnessed a real-life car stunt that tops the CGI spectacle of recent action movies. A man in Memphis jumped a Mazda over railroad tracks, landing in the front yard of a house, with the whole thing captured on surveillance video. The reckless leap stunned viewers.
Attempting such a jump on public roads is enormously dangerous and illegal. However impressive it looks, the stunt put the driver and others at serious risk, a reminder that movie-style antics have real-world consequences.
