          How in the hell does something like that happen? Either way, if the guy was drunk or didn't know how to drive than he narrowly escaped certain death.

            could have been an animal which ran out in front of the car, causing him to hot the guard rail.. how would you react if a deer ran in front of you while driving?

              Knowing there's a steep cliff on the right hand side? I'd brake and hope the deer jumped out of the way.

                  sometimes deer don't give you much of a warning... and if at night, you may not realize there is a cliff there

                    Train your self in this simple rule: "Never swerve to avoid anything while you are driving"

                    If you are taken unawares enough to need to swerve it is prima facia evidence that you don't know enough about your surroundings to swerve.

                    Then, if you have full situational awareness, you can decide to make an exception if you need to.

                    But make the default reaction to assume that swerving is worse than not swerving

                    (Permanent exception: do anything to avoid hitting a truck head on.)


                    BTW: can you believe that EMP standing with his heels hanging over the cliff?
                    Foreshortening must make it look worse than it is or he would have a belaying rope or harness on.
