Don’t jump

A vehicle passenger in Scotland has been videoed jumping out of a moving vehicle for a bet. He accepted the £20 bet from his friends and after a moment of deliberation, jumped from the vehicle as it drove past a graveyard. His head did hit the ground and he was then filmed sitting stunned but luckily uninjured by the stunt. His friends found this hilarious and paid him the money. It is not clear if he intends to repeat the prank. It seems unlikely however that he would be able to find work as a stuntman.
