Took me back to the time that guy died on Noel Edmond's old show (not during transmission, during a rehearsal I believe). I can still remember watching the end of the previous episode, when Noel spun the wheel to decide what stunt the guy would do, and then the shock of hearing he had been killed.

A prime candidate for the Darwin Awards I reckon.

That's a pretty nasty thing to say about all these people who do "daredevil" things for the entertainment of others (oh, and get paid).

No more circuses, wall-of-death riders, motor races, etc.

Shouldn't this be in the Motoring Discussion section?
;-)

Nothing to discuss.

It's neither.

Here is what seems to be a video of the incident. Probably no need to warn that it contains images of a guy getting hit by a car - not grisly though.

EDIT: And here is the clip from the show - www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oa4wSQiHses

I completely forgot that we used to have a version of this show, hosted by Brucie, called "You Bet!"
