Looks like he backed it in a little hot! Does remind me of real fear. I was on a little twisty turny road up a mountain ten thousand feet or so in the southwest. Most of the guard rails were gone, the rest smooth flat from impacts. Occasional cars on the side that had fell a thousand feet or so. Just as I got to the top I saw the biggest sized rental truck like that coming from the other direction! MOMMIIEEE!

There are a few of those passes out west. It can snow year 'round at those altitudes, so guard rail isn't always used, otherwise there would be no place to push the snow.

Yeppy, it can get the o'l pucker meter pegged when rental trucks and RVers are coming at you, crowding the center line to avoid the vertical wall on the inside.

Yeah, I had just passed some places where the wall was undercut to make the road, a box van or RV wasn't going through there in the inside lane. It was on the side of one of those mountains not too far from Durango that I came on a fairly recent wreck, maybe day or two old. I don't know the story but there was a Winnebago style frame and running gear on a little turn out. The rest of it was in a pile. I can't imagine anyone living through that one and I have worked a lot of wrecks, seen a few miracles.
