Dumbass father for giving his 18 year son access to a 500hp car.
Dumbass friends for getting in his M5 knowing they were going on a high speed run, trusting an 18 year old with a fast car.
Dumbass driver for pushing the car with a finite amount of room. I'm guessing at 150 or so you start outrunning your lights.
I feel sorry for the rescue workers that had to clean up the mess and for the parents and family whose lifes are forever changed.

fixed...I love how people blame age in situations like this. My fathers first car he let me drive to school back in the bahamas was a pulsar AWD turbocharged. That car was ungodly fast and compared to the US there's dirt roads all over the place on grand bahama where I could go flying around doing shit, but I didn't because i wasn't allowed to drive until I was almost 18 and I was taught that driving is a priviledge foremost than anything else....so when I did get a chance to drive I was just happy to be able to drive around

C'mon it's not like they were just drivin the speed limit down a highway and he decided to do donuts on I75 without his friends knowing they ALL were more than likely joyriding. It is true the driver is supposed to have more responsibility, but then again having an irresponsible person behind the wheel with a car full of irresponsible teenagers that's when things become a tragedy.

I didn't quite understand how they were able to go 200 feet through the air until I watched the video.

I still frustrates me that parents let their inexperienced kids get behind the wheels of big and powerful cars.
Also when people do dumb shit that endangers others...
I had to learn how to drive on slow, underpowered, rwd cars that didn't have abs...and I'm a better driver for it.
