How the he..?

http://www3.whdh.com/news/articles/local/BO26377/

Sry if this is a double post.

Backing out of his drive way? He flips and lands in his neighbors yard? Was he backing off the roof or something?

If he's a forum member... i wonder if he'd post about it when he's fully recovered (which shouldn't be long if he wasn't too injured)

I'm fairly interested in how that happened... it looks so far fetched.

From: Mustangs are like Tampons.. Every P*$$* has one!

looks like a C6 and im thinking maybe he was going to fast trying to show off maybe? If he was trying to go fast he could have hit a dip or a bump/rock and turned and flipped.. WOOO sounds like FUN!!!!!!!!!
