The only way I'd be on that road is on foot with my back flat against the mountain and screaming get me down!!

Pfff parachute would do nothing but make you actually think of something other than dieing as you were on your way down.

That road isn't even two laned...and it's a highway?...forgettaboutit.

Those were my thoughts exactly!! That road is ridiculous, you would have to have real guts to want to drive on that!!

Ironically enough...

I almost am willing to bet that highway doesn't see nearly as many accidents as any other "road", because people actually take precaution when driving on it.

Although I'm afraid, the accident/fatality ratio would be rather,...shall I say,.."sky high"? :yh_eyebro

I saw this in high definition on Discovery Channel. Very very scary, my palms were sweating. (forget it snooze I know what your going to say) :rolleyes: About 150 people die every year on that road.

Taking a white knuckle ride along a cliff-edge Andes highway good article!

I guess Id have to wonder if insurance is of the highest priority in Bolivia. I think they just want to get the beans to market.

I'd rather eat a live hamster!

I was going to add that I sort of stare the hamster down and get really into it like a stoned passion sponge, but I am seeing that might be taken the wrong way NOW THAT PINKY IS HERE!
