Let this be another example of "Don't Try This at Home' or maybe "Don't Try This on the Roof of Your Car". Leave the car surfing to the experts like Stiles from the movie "TeenWolf".
A Tennessee man is dead after a stunt went terribly wrong this past Saturday and I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that alcohol may have been a factor. A 37yr. old man was pronounced dead late Sunday night after he fell from the roof of a moving car while trying to "surf". Police say David Chandler was on top of a 2002 Toyota Sienna when the SUV hit a hard turn and sent Chandler flying from atop the car and sliding 30 feet to his death once he hit the road. The driver, 20yr. old Patrick Borden, is being charged with with reckless endangerment and is being held in the county jail due to 2 outstanding warrants. According to the police reports Chandler was driven to the hospital in the same SUV involved in the accident and later air lifted to the University of Tennessee hospital where he was pronounced dead. Local law enforcement say the incident is still under investigation and more details about the accident will be released in the coming days. I can't believe someone would make such a bad decision on St. Patrick's Day, a day known for it's sober celebrations and clear thinking. Like I said up top, guessing alcohol played a role in this whole thing. Most sober people don't just hop on the roof of a car and decide to go "surfing" through the streets.
