Thailand, a new world of adventure…. Where statics become a reality!

How the heck can such a vehicle crash so badly? These park buggies usually drive at 20km/h or less.

Failed brakes downhill?

You couldn't make this stuff up.

 

I would normally expect a follow-up police statement about "purple urine" but I think they'll hush that up.

 

The amazing thing is that they have actually named the attraction and have a photo. Expect a name change soon.

Brake failure, on the phone to a bird.....

Probably fell asleep, did he have a backup driver?

Thailand: Where buggy rides are an extreme sport, Discovery Diving might be your last stop on the way to the bottom, and a diving trip can turn your leg into chop suey which you die from because the boat captain is an idiot and none of the crew knows dick about First Aid. IMHO

if the even a buggy on the way to the car park manages to crash, I really would think thrice before using the zip-line
