Wow, lucky he didn’t become paralysed after landing like that , hopefully he’s ok
He's still spinning. PowerGen reckon he's good for another few megawatts before they disconnect the dynamo.

Because he's an idiot.
I wouldn't have tried that in my RRS, let alone a normal car. The water's flow speed was obviously too high for a safe crossing in most normal transport.Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

"When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die! You don't know who's children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken. How many lives shattered. How much blood will spill, until everybody does what they were always going to have to do from the very beginning: SIT DOWN AND TALK!"
I wouldn't attempt that in a Land Rover - not even a boat. A hovercraft, maybe!
