    Why are Matt's videos so good? Because they are not bullshit, faked or blown out of proportion, making stupid mistakes on purpose to upscale the shock factor. This is genuine, mistakes on the fly. Mistakes anybody can make, because the decisions we make are often based on chance and luck. You just never know how much worse a situation can get and this one went from bad to really bad.

      Don’t forget the cinematic effects all the outdoor type reality tv shows like to use, the good old dramatic music and then shake the piss out of the camera to make whatever happened look worse. And to show a snippet of that 15 times in the show before it gets to that point. Cue in additional fake crashing sounds effects to boot.
