I do this in my Lambo all the time...with my eyes closed...while dreaming!  Looks like Mr. Holt was having a bit of fun.

Joe, I'm surprised that you'd even bother to ask such a silly question.  I thought you'd understand that folks that can afford to drive Lambos don't need such protection.  I mean, how could a quarter-million dollar car possibly roll or crash, and how could someone that drives one be that human as to let the machine misbehave?  They're far too special. :evil:

Joe, I was thinking the same thing,,, I thought a saw a shadow behind the drives seat that may have been a main hoop bar ??

Not sure.... I also wondered why he did not pull the chute or even if it was operational,,, bouncing like that and it looked like the tether/anchor line was mounted real low,,, maybe to the rear end ??

As has been said many times -- Charles, if you've gotta ask the price -- it's too expensive for you.  Me, too.

Why use a chute when you can spin around in 360's to come to a stop ?

I'm just happy to see a Lambo getting thrashed.  Seems most of them wind up in a garage and sell ten years later with fewer than 10,000 miles on them.
