You see, you can't make it, so you jump out of the car before the crash. Yes, sir. I understand. I'll jump just before she crash. Now, watch yourself, Jim, and don't get hurt. We'll be right behind you in a camera car.

Pull out when the train starts. Yes, sir. On your toes, everybody. This is it. They said... Okay, Bob. I'm sitting on the thing in there, we're ready to roll! Alright, Parker, go ahead! Camera up!
