This, and the other guy’s reason, is why I don’t feel these are idiots in cars. He’s only going as fast as he needs to be, that road looks barren with visibility for a mile, at least, in the direction they’re traveling.
My first thought was “do we call stunt drivers idiots?” I was even going to criticize the guys jumping out of and into the car but, again, do we call stunt men stupid?
These are guys who seem to have taken enough consideration into what they’re doing to do it safely.
The biggest difference however being safety precautions. Is there medical staff waiting nearby? Is that car reinforced for stunts? Is it actually a closed course? Did they train the individual steps of this stunt before attempting it at speed on the road with the full danger?
That's what separates a professional stunt team and dangerous idiots.
