The "Life & Death Risk" factor wasn't that great, what with the truck + roll cage + harness/seatbelt and all.

"Despite fracturing five vertebrae in his last failed attempt at this stunt, Rhys Millen has announced that he will once again be performing the exceedingly dangerous backflip in a truck on New Year's Eve"

He fractured 5 vertebrae last time he tried it, how does that give you the impression the risk involved in the stunt isn't that great?
:confused:

I was comparing it to Robbie Madison's Stunt. Rhys Millen should've been dead were it not for the truck + cage + seatbelt/harnesses, instead, he was able to walk away from it. Had Robbie Madison missed came short of reaching the Arc de Triumphe, or missed the ramp on the way down, apart from a helmet, he's got no form of protection whatsoever.

I gotta give a whole lot more props to Robbie
