gurding tells us more.
Oh wow, didn't think this'd get posted... thanks so much for all the support guys! (OP here) Bit of follow up, this happened a few nights ago actually, I was driving through a residential area (lots of trees lining the road). The guy was a teenager, he was doing a 'stunt' while his mates filmed. He ran out from behind a tree, I didn't have enough time to stop completely, but I braked and swerved on instinct. He clipped his leg on the front bumper and rolled over my car, and his friends all bailed. I called the ambulance straight away, they took him to hospital with a broken leg and concussion (he was lucky it was just that). My car isn't in great condition either, he managed to leave a solid dent in my bonnet and crush my windscreen. To be honest, I'm just happy I didn't kill him, but the problem is that laws around here are VERY strict when it comes to these kinds of accidents, so unless I can prove that he was at fault, benefit of the doubt goes towards him if his parents decide to sue. The police who came to the scene were very sympathetic, but there's not much they can do. They're trying to find out who the guy's friends were, so hopefully they get that video evidence. Thanks once again for the support, and I'll give you all an update soon!

Life's short...STUNT IT
#13 not the right time to quote hot rod.
wish I could click "he deserved it"...
Wouldn't it help if HE made an FML about this from HIS perspective? I wonder how many more "You deserved it"s there will be than "I agree, your life sucks"es.
sounds like he was trying to scam you and your insurance. congrats on missing that mess.
They may have been inspired by all those vines and videos of people jumping over cars
I don't think gta stunts should be attempted in real life
It's Darwinism at work. Let it happen.
