Someone has to pay for it. If you took it upon yourself to drive your car this afternoon in a manner which caused damage and injury you would face court action and your insurance company would be within their rights not to pay out, resulting in court action and possibly losing your home. There is a big difference between an accident and someone planning and setting out to do something which has a very high risk to life and property. He should have been made to sign something explaining his home could be at risk if this stunt went wrong. We will no doubt see this guy hobble about on television shortly hailed a hero.
