I heard about this from one of the LSC BMW CCA mailing lists. And, of all places, this picture sequence of a BMW M3 rolling over was posted on a Mazda 6 message board. The shots must have been taken in continuous-shot mode since there’re ten shots but I can only imagine that it occured within a span of a couple seconds. I’m interested in any conjectures on what the continuous-shot framerate may have been (some cameras with this feature allow selectable framerates).
You’ll also notice that they’re meta-photographs and, even though they turned out well, I would think that the originals would be even better.
In some ways, my favorite picture is #4 — you could just about caption it “This is the last instant where you’ll see your windshield intact and roof taut. Enjoy it for now.” Schadenfreude aside, you can really feel the fellow’s heartwrench in that last shot. See also more shots of the aftermath further down in this thread.
Actually, the key photo is, in fact, the last one, where we see the big baby who was wreckless enough to play stupid games with (what amounts to) a VERY expensive toy — and then had the nerve to feel heartbroken when he escaped with merely his life (and not the really expensive toy, which he obviously valued more than the former).
Basically – #$@! him and the horse(power) he road in on (but not out).
