1. Seen this before

But it still makes my stomach knot up.

2. I'd be backing it out.

But I don't think I would have traveled up that road in the first place.

3. Holy Smokes! Thought for sure they weren't going to make it.

4. I'm impressed.

Though I think picking the car up and turning it around manually might have been safer.

5. I actually thought that same thing!

6. I'd have tried that before doing what the driver did.

Or walked the rest of the way.

7. Ok, thinking logically about this

(not that logic would play any role had I been in that car)

The little "wall" that he was backing up on would have *probably* prevented the vehicle from falling off the cliff--assuming a gentle foot on the gas pedal--because once the back wheels would have cleared the wall, the body just forward of those tires would have high-ended (is that the right term?) onto that wall, and the weight distribution would have kept the car from tipping over.

Perhaps the driver was well familiar with that section of road and knew this? Still, you couldn't pay me anything to have tried that.
