Hapless Russian cheats death when car stunt jump goes horribly wrong

Amazing moment hapless Russian daredevil cheats death when car stunt jump from one building to another goes horribly wrong

• Stuntman Evgeny Chebotarev miscalculated and failed to accelerate sufficiently
• He miraculously survived certain death when the car failed to make the leap

This is the amazing moment a hapless Russian daredevil cheats death after his stunt attempting to jump a small car between two tower block rooftops goes horribly wrong.

The calamitous stunt, performed by Evgeny Chebotarev, 32, saw the daredevil miraculously survive certain death when the car failed to make the leap across the buildings in the Russian Republic of North Ossetia–Alania.

Chebotarev had lined up his white Lada Niva with the intention to drive up a ramp, dive through the air, and safely land on the other side.

But the Russian had made a disastrous miscalculation and he failed to accelerate sufficiently on the special ramp to make it across.

The Russian-made car plummeted to the ground, first crashing with full force into the wall of the opposite building before falling a further 50ft straight down to the ground.

The main impact in the initial crash was to the front roof and windscreen.

Somehow, Chebotarev managed to survive and was fortunate not to suffer appalling head injuries.

Miraculously, the stuntman was seen moving and then climbing out of the wreck on his two feet.

An aide shouted down to Chebotarev as the hapless Russian escaped the crash: ‘Are you in one piece?’

Another replied: ‘I cannot be sure.’

But Chebotarev was soon on his two feet, although still severely injured albeit not fatally.

Eventually he posted on social media: ‘I almost survived. I’m going to hospital.’

He asked his fans: ‘You must have buried me, right?’

But Chebotarev, who has cheated death many times with various stunts, told his followers: ‘You knew I wouldn’t stop.’

He was later treated for injuries to his legs and feet.

‘I do not deny, I won’t be able to walk. I could barely get up,’ the hapless stuntman said.

The stunt was in the Russian Republic of North Ossetia–Alania close to the Georgian border.

Two years earlier, Chebotarev broke his spine flying a car 131ft over a river.

‘Friends always called me a psycho,’ he said. As far as I remember, I’ve always loved extremes.’
