Worst Pylon Hit Ever - Steve Jones

Steve Jones had a roller-coaster ride in 2007, winning in spectacular fashion in Porto but finishing 12th in Istanbul and crashing so heavily into a pylon in Monument Valley that he was forced to retire from that race. He hit the pylon just a few meters above the ground.

The British Boeing 747 captain nevertheless made a move up from the middle of the pack last season, finishing fifth overall in the most competitive field in the Red Bull Air Race's history after taking sixth place in both 2005 and 2006.

You must construct additional pylons!

I hate it when the top two comments, along with 200 of the regular comments, are the same >_>

@sly606 In the old days...the 1920s and 30s...they WERE concrete. Killed a lot of pilots.

You know you're a good pilot when you can fly with no hands... like the guy at 1:09

That was pretty neat, looks like me in Gta San Andreas - didn't think it was possible to move that fast in real life though!

THAT WAS EFFING AMAZING!
