Don't drink and drive, kids.

Sad. At least there was only one car involved, though.

I too think this because drink driving can be devastating and destroy lives and so I cannot feel sympathy for him (or those that do it).

Jesus could you atleast be a little sympathetic. A man died and no matter the conditions its a sad event.

I COULD but I'm not. Hey if it turns out it was not alcohol/speed related then my sincerest apologies but judging from the fact he twitted a picture of himself drinking with his buddies and police have stated that speed was a likely factor (skid marks on road and a flaming wreck) I going to go with the likely conclusion. Yes death in itself is a sad thing of course but this is what happens when one makes stupid choices and drinking & driving is just that.

maybe alcohol wasn't to blame

because apparently Porsche is recalling the 911 series due to wheel hubs failing and causing crashes

If I had to guess who was to blame, I'd pin it on Dunn, not the wheel hubs. It was amazing none of the Jackass crew hadn't died already, tbh.

driving at 110 on a road posted 35 doesn't absolve him of the accident
it just means alcohol is likely alot less of a factor

also given the problem is exacerbated under race conditions
going 110 likely cause the failure

and having seen all 3 jackass movies and all of the jackass series
i couldn't agree more how are most of these people not dead yet

specially steve-o who had ( i say had because hes clean now ) a severe addiction to cocaine and pain killers in 2008 or 9 when he got clean

That is so wrong on so many levels.

Alcohol could have very well been the reason he was driving at 110 (if indeed he was) due to reducing inhibitions.

Going 110 alone is NOT race conditions. Why? 110 in a straght line at constant and consistent velocity is nothing, if anything it can be done relaxed. Race conditions involve very aggressive accelerations and decellerations - not the kind of thing that happens in a straight line or the average road unless you are driving very aggressivley on some twisty mountain (or other) road.

I had no idea who he was, never watched Jackass and not really bothered one way or the other but shit happens, but I do like his style. I don't know about you but I'd rather die with my boots on and he sure did that :P

You nearly did! :-0

It's easy to lay blame on alcohol or speed (and was that a regular cigarette in the photo?), but we don't know for sure. Of course, drink driving is stupid and there's no reason to drive that fast on public roads - especially if he was in his home town, anyway! Driving in a straight line is one thing, but there are probably curves in the road, crosswinds could occur, not to mention other road users to avoid.

From the photos at the scene, it looks like it was on a junction - not the best place to be doing such speeds:

It's a sad thing, but I think we all know the driver was to blame one way or another. Hopefully it will teach the other members of the Jackass team, and idiot copycats, that they're not invincible.

RIP :/

Without a doubt Dunn did it. No doubt about that. Dunn is known for his shit driving add that to him being pissed and maybe the wheels being a factor and you have a sad death. Again, RIP Ryan Dunn.
