In case you weren't already aware, driving on mountain roads is extremely dangerous.

Especially if you're driving way too fast on a road you're unfamiliar with, like this guy was. Do not try this at home. But do take a lesson from the guy behind the wheel in this video–if you're driving too fast on a dangerous road, this could be you. Except you might not be as lucky.

The owner of a Subaru Forester XT was taking a leisurely drive through the mountains.

At least, it started out that way.

Hoping to get some nice views of the surrounding peaks, he took the curves of the road nice and easy. At first.

Note the extreme drop off on the edge of the road, and the lack of guardrails.

But when he saw a straightaway tunnel in front of him, he couldn't resist stomping on the gas.

And this was an extremely dangerous and childish mistake.

As he came out of the tunnel, he approached an intense curve in the road, which he wasn't prepared for.

He stomps on the brakes, which is mistake number one, and his car begins to spin out of control.

As his car veers to the left, he goes toppling over the edge of the mountain.

Terrifying.

Luckily, the man survives. But what could have happened is completely horrifying.

But never mind what could have happened to him–if someone else had been coming the opposite way on the road, he could've sent them over the edge too.
