Driving in Russia. The premise is that "everybody" has a video camera to record accidents that are not their fault, because other people lie and police are corrupt. I'm not so sure. The point is that these are people who have video cameras on their dashboards, so whatever that implies about selection, is implied. Caveat inspectoris!

Holy crap! This is mind blowing. How many years did it take to collect this many crazy accidents?
And what are Russians made of? I'm amazed how many people are walking away from these accidents, including the person in shorts who fell out of the mini van and was dragged for a half second, and then got right up. Wow. I guess the human body is more resilient than I had previously realized.
Right. But as someone who wastes way too much time on the internet watching stupid videos, I can say that it's pretty surprising what a high percentage of them are from Russia. So, no, not everyone in Russia has one, but it sure as hell looks like it's pretty disproportionately high.
