Ruby Walsh jumps a moving car?

[Patterdale]

What a tit.

Either he jumped it, which was foolishly dangerous and stupid to say the least, or it's a hoax, which could still inspire idiots to copy him.

Thoughts?

It's photoshopped .

 

[Sandstone1]

Sure that's not real, anyone remember the late Caroline Bradley jumping a car.

 

[suffolkmare]

B****y irresponsible stunt, "real" or not.

 

[Tern]

By the time the horse realised he needed to jump a moving car it would have ploughed straight into said horse.

The way he is shouting woo at the end points to it not being real.

 

[teapot]

If people believe that then they're utter idiots.

 

[Patterdale]

It doesn't matter if they believe it or not, there'll be some idiot who watches it and gets inspired

 

[Spilletta]

Lovely horse...

I really can't believe this would make someone think to try it for real.

How many people have a horse capable of jumping 8ft wide and 3ft high?

 

[orionstar]

Mine every time a pheasant decides it has to cross the arena to get to the other side!

 

[Patterdale]

How many people have a horse capable of jumping 5ft wide and 3ft high?

Errrr.....most people who have a horse?

 

[KautoStar1]

Come on peeps, it's paddy power. It's a hoax.

 

[I love my Spanish horse]

I don't think it's the size that's the problem more the fact it's a moving target so how the hell would the horse know when to take off, I also can't believe they'd the risk the lives of horse, jockey and driver should it go wrong and end up through the windscreen. Clearly a publicity stunt but more worryingly there's people that will believe it and think it's an acceptable form of training, the mind boggles sometimes!

 

[bonny]

No one is going to copy that, it's an advert, everything they do on adverts isn't real !

 

[Illusion100]

That video makes me giggle every time I watch it, it's clearly a joke and I find it hard to get annoyed about it.

 

[Elf On A Shelf]

Paddy Power like being controversial! The ad is clearly doing it's job - it's getting people talking about the company and as they say 'No publicity is bad publicity!'

They put a jockey on the white horse the other year and people were up in arms about it - until they realised that it really was photoshopped. They got the connections of Hunt Ball to spray paint a green shamrock on his backside for his race at Cheltenham that was sponsored by another company which lead to fines and pissing a lot of the big wigs off lol!

It's Paddy Power! It's what they do!

 

[sasquatch]

i thought it was very clearly an ad and not real, however did find it to be a bit coincidental as there is the current outcry with the 'charity ride' jumping a car which has hit the news.

anyone with any horse sense wouldn't copy it or try too, I'd be more worried that there are idiots out there who'd believe a horse will just jump their car if they come flying past on the roads.

 

[Happy Hunter]

my horse jumped a moving motorcycle once - it did skid and fall over first though.

I dont think Paddy Power can really be blamed if people try and 'copy' this - I mean otherwise we would all be putting kittens into biscuit packets....

Probably wouldn't stop some moron from trying. People jump bigger things out hunting.

 

[suffolkmare]

You only have to spend a little time in A&E to see what some people just think they will try for real...common sense just doesn't come into it,

 

[Elf On A Shelf]

PP probably made the ad because of the hunt jumping the car in Ireland lol!

 

[Beausmate]

My horse tried to jump a car. Lengthways. From a standstill. The car was stationary at the time, but he failed to clear it - maybe because of his lack of momentum? Certainly lack of self-preservation!

A very good reason for having insurance.....

 

[ester]

- I mean otherwise we would all be putting kittens into biscuit packets....

quite! I really don't see the issue!

Or salsa dancing on our periods, looking 10 years younger etc etc.

 

[9tails]

I didn't hear of anyone going jumping through residential gardens last year.

 

[ester]

there is def a video on fb of that occurring!

 

[Mariposa]

Oh come on, it's clear its not real!

Paddy Power had an advert over Cheltenham where a spaceship zapped up the racehorses...this is as unrealistic as that! (unless you do believe in aliens...in which case..um...)

 

[ljohnsonsj]

I feel like banging my head on my desk multiple times to cope with people who think this is real, or even people who think it should be banned because some dorks might copy it, come on...

 

[Overread]

- I mean otherwise we would all be putting kittens into biscuit packets....

Wait you mean we're not supposed to do this???

Next you'll be telling me that 4*4 cars can't go off road through amazing scenic locations and over boulders the size of cars!

 

[fburton]

Wait you mean we're not supposed to do this???

Uh oh, I'd better let me sister know. She does this all the time, and now I know why. :frown3:

 

[vam]

What do you mean its not real?! Next someone will tell me the current Grand National one isn't either and that flying unicorns don't exist....
