Yoiks. I think I'd spend a couple hours with my trusty trail shovel to carve a hole in that hillside if I had to turn my jeep around there. That looked like a pretty big dropoff...

Looks to me like there was probably somewhere on the far side that he could have turned around in...

Yeah, for sure those houses didn't use that turn-around. Could you see momma walking out of the house, saying "What are you idiots doing there now?!"
 
I think this was a careful pre-planned stunt done to put up on YouTube

I got into a spot once that was a dead end. Not quite as scary as that.
 
I thought that was going to be really fun to watch. But in actuality it was quite boring. And the accompanying music was all wrong. The video should have run at 2-3x speed and the music should have been a waltz.

Or much faster, with Yakety Sax.
