Remember that guy on the Southern Ontario farm who had the Hillbilly rollercoaster (on his Astro) ? Well seems like o'le Davey may be in a little trouble from a recent accident...http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/Canada/2009 ... rid=MKTYLB
Word is finally out that he hauls in $15,000 a month from ad revenue thru YouTube! could that be the reason he and his minions try this crazy stuff? of course, just like I said earlier in another post...Its all about the money baby.

Hey, everyone has the right to be an idiot. This is old news around here as I live in the area of Dave's farm, and it has been at the centre of controversy since some people complained about the various vehicles he has on the farm. A by-law inspector and a bunch of Provincial police showed up to do an inspection (what a waste of tax payers money). Since then the whole thing has been in the local news.

wow $15K a Month? Still...my backbone is worth more than that to me.

Have you seen the video?

Having watched it, while I hope the guy recovers, but performing such a stunt, in an RV, wearing no safety gear, what do you expect is going to happen?

Ever see what happens to an RV that rolls into a ditch? Not exactly the best constructed vehicles on the road. Jumping an old school bus would have been a better idea.

This guy had been temping fate with that RV for a while and people were dumb enough to get in it with him.

Aside from providing the venue, I really don't see how Dave is at any fault. People really need to take some responsibility for themselves.

In 2000 when I severely broke my leg at a privately owned skatepark there were many questioned asked about the park. Questions looking to pin blame on it and its insurance. I would only answer that the break was my fault, as the park was in perfect condition. Can't fault the venue.

I saw the vid weeks back, and yea he picked the wrong vehicle, who knows if that Dave dude will face any charges or not, this is Canada we're a weird nation with weirder people ruling it.

Well, if you only get 90 days for attacking a 15 year old girl with a baseball bat, I can't imagine the charges would amount to much

~from the article in the original post:
"Whitcroft, the stunt driver injured, is no stranger to controversy. He was convicted last year of assault after striking a 15-year-old girl in the back of the head with a baseball bat in St. Thomas. He pleaded guilty to assault, along with unrelated drug and theft charges, and was sentenced to 90 days behind bars."

Well, if he smoked some young girl in the back of the head and only got 90 days, then I would hazard to say that Karma just kicked his ass

It is unlikely charges would be laid, although the injured party could sue for damages. He probably wouldn't win though.
