What do those idiots think they are doing in the first video???? Do they think there is a 100 foot waterfall around the corner, so suddenly they have to abandon ship and swim for shore??? Too bad their own car didn't run them over for being so stupid.

There's a difference between doing something silly and jumping out of the car. I can't stop laughing at them...
