Flying is easy, landing is the hard part:

http://www.redbullusa.com/experiment#page=ArticlePage.1196395109137-515552382.3

"Rhys Millen was involved in an accident while preparing to be the
first person to backflip an off-road racing truck at the Red Bull
Experiment in Las Vegas on Monday, December 31.
We have been informed by Rhys Millen Racing's management team that
Rhys has incurred non-life threatening injuries and is currently being
medically treated at a local hospital.
Red Bull has a strong history working with athletes who push the
limits and always employs safety as its first and primary concern.
However, this is an unfortunate accident, and we wish Rhys a quick and
healthy recovery.
Additional information will be disclosed when it becomes available.

RHYS MlLLEN QUOTE:
“After successfully landing the 360-degree backflip three times into
the cardboard boxes in training, I am disappointed that our last jump
ended in an accident. As I lay here in the hospital with three broken
vertebrae in my neck and two compressed and broken vertebrae in my
back, I am also disappointed that we cannot perform the 360-degree
backflip at the Red Bull Experiment on New Year's Eve, but I'm happy
that I will be able to walk again. I look forward to watching Robbie
Maddison do his 300-plus-foot motorcycle jump in Las Vegas."

Am I the only guy that's been wondering when we'll see the same sort of
setup to be used for a bike for a FRONT flip? That's gotta be the next "it's
impossible, can't be done" move for Pastrana or similar. Backflips are passe
now, nothin' to 'em. Who's gonna show me a forward flip?

Downloaded Mozilla Firefox.
Same Youtube response.
Did the Flash routine again. Looked different. Same poor result.

Every time I catch myself spending time on this error message I remind
myself it's Youtube and I should be doing something, you know, more
important.
