Anyone that enjoys a good action movie should have a great appreciation for the stuntmen that put their lives on the line for a living. They are athletes and tough guys that are shoved to the background as the A-list celebrities bask in the limelight. In my opinion, their athletic abilities and sheer gall is so amazing that it deserves to be placed on a pedestal as high as any professional athlete out there. The abuse their bodies take and their willingness to risk it all for your entertainment should be applauded. While the following performers are probably not the professional quality seen in the Hollywood films, that’s not to say that these stunts are anything less than amazing. The following stunts will make your heart race, skip a beat, or possibly just leave you thinking what were they thinking!

4. Wheelie Stunt, Wait For It… FAIL: This guy is so cool, checkin’ out the camera. Maybe he should have spent more time checking the traffic he was speeding towards!

9. Hit By Car, Hold On: After the impact from the windshield, I’m thinking the small drop from the top of the car wouldn’t have been so bad. I mean, yeah, you held on to the car. But what are you going to do now?

OMG! These people are out of their freaking minds! I’ve had a tendency towards doing stupid things from time to time, but nothing like this. I am so glad that we’ve come to a day and age where cell phones have recording capabilities such that they’re able to capture such great footage. I’m even more grateful that we have the ability to look these things up instead of me being the one goaded into doing something stupid when my rowdy bunch of friends gets rambunctious and is in need of a little entertainment.
