(21 July 2001, Idaho) When his brakes failed while driving down a steep mountain road, Marco bailed out on his eight passengers and leapt from his Dodge van. Too bad Marco didn't alert the others to the problem before he took flight so precipitously. Another passenger was able to bring the vehicle to a stop a short distance away. Marco struck his head on the pavement and died at the scene. No one else was injured. |

twice before leaping from a moving vehicle."
"Good
advice: Don't exit your car until it has stopped moving."

is what happens when you overreact...!"
"I think I dated
him..."
And... "Remember the old adage, he who hesitates is lost?
Not this time. He who hesitated... lived!"
