Thanks to my fiancé, Vixiepoo, who managed to capture this fail on video.
This is the un-edited full-length version, complete with me trying to get the car UP the hill. For all those out there speculating, this was not staged. I had trouble with some snow over the previous couple of days, this was after snow settled on black ice. Vicki decided to film me after I had spent 20 minutes not being able to get beyond half way up the hill!

DANGER - PERIGO
driving 140km / h lying on the motorcycle!
==============
Um acidente é um evento indesejável e inesperado que causa danos pessoais, materias (danos ao patrimônio), danos financeiros e que ocorre de modo não intencional. Exemplos físicos incluem colisões e quedas indesejadas, lesões por tocar em algo afiado, quente, elétrico ou ingerir veneno. Exemplos não-físicos são revelar um segredo não intencionalmente, esquecer um compromisso, etc.
Se os resultados dessa negligência eram previsíveis e não foram tomadas as precauções necessárias para evitá-la, a pessoa pode ser responsabilizada por eventuais consequências de tal negligência. Em um "acidente", ninguém pode realmente ser responsabilizado porque o acontecimento é imprevisível ou muito pouco provável, apesar de que o causador, mesmo involuntariamnete, pode ter que ressarsir o bem danificado.
Muitas vezes os acidentes são Investigação para que possamos aprender a evitá-los no futuro. Isso é muitas vezes chamado análise das causas, mas geralmente não se aplica aos acidentes que não pode ser previsto com o mínimo de certeza.
50.425 pessoas foram mortas por acidentes (não incluindo acidentes de carro) nos Estados Unidos em 1995, uma taxa de 19 pessoas em 100.000

===========
Road traffic accidents generally fall into one of four common types:
Lane departure crashes, which occur when a driver leaves the lane they are in and collide with another vehicle or a roadside object. These include Head on Collisions and Run-off-road collisions.
Accidents at junctions include Rear impacts and Angle or side impacts.
Accidents involving pedestrians and cyclists
Collisions with animals
Although other types of accident do occur. Rollovers are not very common, but are lead to more than their share of severe injury and fatal crashes. Some of these are secondary events that occur after a collision with a run-off-road crash or a collision with another vehicle.
See also Head-on_collision#Road_transport.
Head-on collisions often have poor outcomes because of the speed involved when the collision takes place. On a 60mph single carriageway road with no separation of opposing lanes of traffic, the legal closing speed of two vehicles will be 120mph.
The obvious cause of head-on collisions is when one vehicle inadvertently strays into the path of an oncoming vehicle. However, the root cause sometimes lies in a steering overcorrection after veering to the side of the road as opposed to the centre.
The likelihood of head-on collision is at its greatest on roads with no separation of lanes of opposing traffic and worsens as traffic flow increases. While the outcome worsens as speed increases.
Therefore the roads with the greatest risk of head-on collision are busy single-carriageway roads outside urban areas where speeds are highest.
Contrast this with Motorways, which rarely have a high risk of head-on collision in spite of the high speeds involved, because of the median separation treatments such as Wire Rope Safety barriers, Concrete step barriers, Jersey barriers and Metal Crash Barriers.
The risk of intersection accidents differs on rural and urban roads, with around 50% of urban crashes and 30% of rural crashes occurring at junctions. In urban areas the likelihood of an intersection accident occurring is high as they typically have a higher density of junctions. On rural roads while the likelihood of an accident may be lower (because of fewer intersections) the outcome of the accident is often significantly worse because of the increased speeds involved.
Because intersection accidents often result in side-impacts they are therefore often fatal because people are seated close to the part of the car that provides little protection.

===========
Um acidente de automóvel consiste numa colisão ocasionada por automóvel, podendo envolver outro(s) veículo(s), um poste, construções, árvores ou até mesmo atropelamentos, quando envolvem pessoas a pé ou em transportes "menores" (bicicleta, moto etc.), ou ainda atropelamento de animais. Também há acidentes em que o condutor perde o controlo da viatura e capota (não havendo qualquer interação do automóvel com qualquer objeto físico). Segundo estudos estatísticos, os acidentes de trânsito matam 1.2 milhões de pessoas em todo o mundo por ano, sendo o número de feridos ligeiros 40 vezes superior. Um acidente de trânsito é também conhecido como acidente de trânsito, acidente de viação, acidente rodoviário ou colisão automóvel.
