During the Hellendoorn Rally in the Netherlands last weekend, the Porsche 964 driven by Harry Kleinjan ran into trouble. From the video, it looks as if he locked up his brakes and was unable to make the turn, with spectacular results.
I bet there were some wet spectators on the far side of the canal . . . and some frightened fish! Fortunately, the driver and co-driver escaped unhurt.

+5 for a perfect upside landing 😉
-9 for holding the pedal to the metal
while upside down 🙁
They came out of that unhurt? Amazing, just amazing.
He doesn't attempt to turn. He just locks up the brakes and rolls right through into the drink. It's a wonder he wasn't drowned.
I suspect the throttle stuck, from the look and sound.
Also, those traffic diverters are supposed to be connected together, to avoid this result. Someone got lazy/stupid in course setup.
