More Proof...

...that driving is dangerous.

This is a four-in-hand doing an obstacle - I believe, but can't be sure as the commentary is in German, that they're in a CDE marathon.

The carriage hits an obstacle and one of the worst possible things happens - the driver falls out of the cart. With no hand on the lines, the horses panic, chased by the uninjured driver...and head off down the course, across a road and apparently into the parking area. Most people have the sense to get out of their way.

That guy who stops them? Don't try that at home - I've seen somebody almost get killed trying to stop ONE horse that way, let alone a four, but he knew what he was doing.

Nobody hurt and the horses look fine too.
