Pajero is Spanish for Strawman, which means what you said.

The vehicles are right hand drive. Going by the number plates, the UK, white front numberplate and yellow rear.

Admire letting the engine run while uoside down, then appearing to start it without checking how much oil it had in the engine, looked like it spilt a bit.

If you listen to them talking it sounds like they are speaking Spanish or may be Italian??

I particularly love the first bloke on the scene in the light blue t-shirt, the one with the fag hanging out of his mouth!

It isn't hard to find a fuel spill from a rolled vehicle, could have ended in a bigger stuff-up than that!

Otherwise I'm with Roachie, it's a wonder a couple of soccer balls didn't roll out of the back!

Don't think I've seen a soft roll cause so much damage before. I'd hate to roll one at a faster pace and more than once.

"How do these people get through life ???"

LOL... Usually by NOT progressing from the shallow end of the gene pool during their "Learn-To-Swim" classes..... LOL....

Seriously though, we've ALL seen things like this, haven't we? IMO, a basic human trait is what I call "Eddie-Syndrome"....( Not to be confused with Ed Zachary Syndrome.) "Eddie-Syndrome" is the result of giving someone the tiniest bit of knowledge, often incorrect, and that someone then becomes an Instant Expert. As in "Eddie the Expert!" (I have been guilty of this at times as well, like most of us... LOL...)

When we come across situations like this, my philosophy is to quietly try to advise against the dangerous things they are doing, and if they choose NOT to listen, I just walk away. A LONG way away. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink!

Cheers

Ino,

Just curious how you know.... my guess is you understand the language? If so, without going in to a sub title text, what is the general consensus of the incident?

There's no discussion about what went wrong and why that happened. I have the slight impression that the general mood is bemusement, and somewhat surprised they never saw that coming.

At the end - I think it's his wife - off camera, saying "here comes our hero, here he is, jumping out of the car"... The sarcasm is well too obvious.

That's about it. Most of the yelling and all that is coordination (ha!)
