Topic: Did I just witness this?

This video has apparently gone viral since it was posted here on Vine. The driver was seriously injured but did survive. I want to know if this was an overly excited Lemons team recklessly hurrying so they would get a good paddock spot on a Friday.

I think he was forced into that lane because there was a Rolls Royce in the way

I must say I give it a 8.5.  Take off was great, hangtime is fantastic, but the landing, meh.
