BMW fail during soccer celebration

Someone should let this guy know that dumping the clutch and launching with a passenger on the rear trunk is a terrible idea. If you're going to launch with your friend on the back, you should at least have the common courtesy to warn him ahead of time. A simple, "hang on dude" would be suffice. But no, we can't even get that out of him. Just a quick rev, drop of the clutch, and they're off; literally. I don't know why he would launch in a crowded parade, but none the less he failed like the Soviet space program.

When it comes to launching, the BMW is known for sticking the pavement like glue. With the added weight of the passenger sitting on the trunk, it's of no surprise that the beemer launched like a rocket. With the tremendous amount of torque that BMW has built it's name upon, I'm surprised the driver even let the dude sit on the trunk in the first place; all it takes is one slip. After the launch, the passenger gets up and who knows what happened next. Did the guy get back on the trunk? Probably, some people just don't learn. Maybe the soccer celebration was thriving his veins with adrenaline and he couldn't feel the fall. Soccer can do that you know!

This is pretty funny, but it's also really dangerous. If you ever have someone riding on your trunk in a parade, or for whatever reason, be sure to take it easy with the accelerator. If they fall off, your still technically liable because they were in your vehicle. If it's outside of a sanctioned event like a parade, celebration, etc., then you will also be held accountable for a seat belt violation amongst a few other penalties. Sure it's fun to ride on the trunk, we've all done it! But, when performing a celebration stunt like this, it's always wise to keep one hand on something for support. This guy obviously was not doing that.
