We’re assuming you’ve watched one or two of those crazy action films where a guy tries to jump straight over a moving car. You’ll agree that for the ones that actually made it, the whole maneuver looked pretty sweet. As for those that don’t…Let’s just say that we found a not so elegant proof that there is no limit to man’s enthusiasm. These people revved up, did what they had to do, and left in a stretcher.

When one thinks of carnies, what springs to mind is missing teeth, crystal meth, small hands, and the smell of cabbage. These are stereotypes. Like old west outlaws, their freewheeling, nomadic lifestyle—moving from town-to-town—lends itself to a life wholly outside of mainstream society, speaking a language entirely all their own, in a world filled with hardened, scary, scary people.
