You really think they would show it on 'live' tv if he crashed and went up in flames? Even live tv has a delay, they would just make up some bull**** on why they can't show you the attempt.

My concern wouldn't be the impact, but the chances of him coming down, breaking or impacting the ramp itself - which has the potential to just not hit the cage but him directly.

They will most likely delay it but I highly doubt they will cut away if he crashes, unless his body litterally comes flying out of the truck in two pieces. Half of the people tuning in will be tuning in to see him crash, just like Nascar.

If Joey Hand can walk away from this wreck:

I bet Rhys will be okay with his attempt.

Nowhere near the height Millen will be at. If Hand's BMW was 50-75 ft in the air I doubt the safety cage would have been able to absorb the impact.

To Millen's advantage, he will most likely be on sand or dirt, so if things don't work out he would have softer ground than asphalt.

question... assuming he pulls off the backflip, is his goal to drive off after it? or does he just land in a pile of dirt/sand/impact foam?
