In spite of all our differences, the one thing that binds all living creatures is that we each have an expiration date. This finality to our existence is what makes life special, something to be cherished and protected. But occasionally things can go terribly wrong…
Jerry Seinfeld flipped his vintage Fiat sports car after the brakes failed, but he walked away without serious injury. The billionaire comedian was driving alone in the exclusive Hamptons region of Long Island, New York, when he realized the brakes were not working. He pulled the steering wheel hard right to avoid hitting other traffic, and the car rolled over, first on the passenger side, then the roof, and finally coming to rest on the driver’s side. The police report blamed mechanical failure and said Seinfeld had not been drinking.
Always the funny man, Seinfeld said after the accident: "Because I know there are kids out there, I want to make sure they all know that driving without braking is not something I recommend, unless you have professional clown training or a comedy background, as I do. It is not something I plan to make a habit of."
