The floors in those parking houses are notriously slippery...

Ack! (Shirley) - that was less than 2 metres. I'd estimate it was around 0.002m, at a guess.

I can vouch that the only way to stop an SRAD in less than 2 meters from 60kph is to hit a wall.

Given the speed at which he hit the wall his brains should be lying no more than about 5 meters from where he fell.

If you check his brake lights (or complete lack thereof), the slipperiness didn't factor into it (apart from making the bloodstains and various bits of viscera and bodily fluids easier to remove).

True, I was more thinking of the cringing feeling I had when the combination of the thread title and the fact that the video was filmed in a parking house caught my attention. Then I already knew I wasn't very likely to be watching a botched stoppie...

It was perhaps fortunate for the more squeamish amongst us (me! f'rinstance) that the 'sudden stop at the end that hurts' was so far from the camera operator...
