This video if authentic is pretty crazy.

Still sucks that he had to go that way, especially for his family and the family of the passenger.

RIP.

At 110mph he could have easily crashed even if he was sober. A quick elevation change with a bit of a bank in the rode at 110mph could throw even a professional driver for a loop. Maybe there was gravel on the road, or the section he was on was shaded by trees and a lot wetter then the rest of the road. Who knows.

^ I watched that. I was kinda supprised how many of his cars were smashed and wreaked.


This is a bummer I was really hoping he wasn't drunk and something just went wrong. Oh well, RIP Dunn

Went to a meet at that shop. Got to see the euro e34 m5. I have always been a huge fan of his. Ckys, Haggard, Home Wreckers, and jackass movies were what i grew up watching. And on top of all those sweet movies/shows he was a BMW guy. I live about a 30 to 40 minutes down the road right off the road where he crashed. Whether he was drunk or not and did take an innocent persons life my thoughts and prayers go out to there families. Im going to miss the guy. He will always be my home town random hero

its not like his passenger was a mute. he could have said "SLOW THE FUCK DOWN DUMB ASS!!!", but he did not. How about "let me get out of the car if you really want to drive this fast". Nop.
It was the passengers fault as much as Ryan's. The passenger also knew Ryan was drunk, as he had been drinking with him at the bar.
It is sad anyway you spin it, but you can not blame Ryan 100% for the death of his passenger. The passenger made a choice, and so did Ryan. Now they both suffered the consequences. It is not like Ryan hit a bystander who just happened to be walking by, and had nothing to do with the situation.
We all make bad choices while we are drunk in our lives, some of them worse then others. I broke my foot in 5 places while I was drunk jumping off a flight of 15 stares into what I though was sand. Sadly the last stare was hidden in the sand, and that is right where my left foot landed.
As fare as him being sober enough to drink... Bull shit. I don't know what the laws are in the state he was drinking in, but in Cali the owner and/or server that served him his drinks can go to jail for a very long time for letting him leave and drive that drunk.
The owner of the bar said Ryan was good to drive. I say he is covering his ass, because he was to chicken shit to tell a rich famous guy he was to drunk to drive, and risk not getting their busyness again.

I'd think it's even worse to know it was his own bad decision's vs outside circumstances.

Regardless of why a loved one is lost, it doesn't diminish the loss.

Have you lost your best friend? Or someone equally as close to unexpectedly. and that is the key word - unexpected.



The circumstances of their death do not matter, but the fact that it was so preventable does make it worse in my opinion.

I lost an aunt in a car accident, she was hit by a drunk driver. And that was really hard for me, I couldn't even go into the funeral home and just sat outside crying. So I know of a similar situation, but I can't even imagine loosing someone I am really close to and having to be so far away (Bam was in Arizona) from those that can comfort you.

I don't feel sorry for the JA crew.

The dead guys, yes, I feel very badly for them.

That plus this...

I know it's not a stunt, but it would be a great way to promote a movie. I bet it will have nationwide distribution opposed to straight to DVD release.

Funny to think he actually said these things... wonder if he still feels that way.

0.196 BAC = 1.96 permille?

That's a lot of drinks. Just plain stupid to get in the driver's seat.

I challenge Einstein to have that BAC and come up with e=mc2.

I keep visualizing Random Hero in the GT3, lining up next to James Dean in "The Little Bastard" on the Nordschleife, burning the tread off at 10/10th's for eternity.

I guess that's not a bad way to be remembered. Better than thinking about his pinnacle being that Hot Wheels.

Dude, come on. Really? It's not like the guy was hit by friendly fire or something.

I can't even imagine what Bam and his close friends and family are going through.

Dang, BAC level of .196.

Ryan Dunn and Bam in Jackass. Even though it is so funny when it ends you almost want to cry.

and

Bam's reaction

Even if he was drunk, still is a horrid loss. Thankful when I got my DUI no one was injured except a telephone pole. I can't even imagine what Bam and his close friends and family are going through.
