Stuntman's son pulled from flaming vehicle in Russia
Stuntman's son, eight, is pulled from flaming vehicle in Russia
Video shows a stuntman crashing headlong into a row of cars and setting on fire in Russia with his eight-year-old son inside after a dangerous car stunt went horrifically wrong.
Stuntman Sergey Kocherga, 40, used his young son Timur in the act from which both made miraculous escapes as marshals and spectators rushed to their rescue.
The boy was 'shaking with fear' after being pulled from the fireball wreckage, said an eyewitness.
Video shows the pair in a Crosskart crashing when trying to clear two cars after hurtling up a ramp.
They thudded into the first car and cartwheeled over the second, with their stunt vehicle bursting into flames in front of hundreds of spectators.
Sergey sustained burns on his arm and back requiring medical help, but the boy was 'unharmed' and 'continued to perform' other stunts.
The boy is from a dynasty of stunt performers and has taken part in shows since he was three.
Despite this, the Russian authorities have launched a 'procedural check' into the incident in Ivanovo in which his father was the driver.
'The investigation established that during the stunt show, during the performance of the jump, two people were injured, including a minor,' said the Investigative Committee.
'Investigators will establish all the circumstances and causes of the incident.'
A second probe has been opened by the prosecutor’s office, and criminal prosecutions are possible.
The father was unapologetic about using his son as a stunt boy.
The child’s grandfather - who is also called Sergey - is a stuntman too.
'It was very pleasant that you visited our show,' the injured Crosskart driver told locals. 'Our profession is stuntmen and we are always taking risks. We have chosen this. I'm safe and sound, all is fine.
He added: 'Thank you for calling and messaging and worrying about my health. All is good, all is fine. We are alive, we are safe and sound.'
But shocked spectator Maria Polyakova said: 'They say the boy has been a stuntman from the age of three, and there is a whole dynasty. And apparently, this is their way of life. But for me it was terrible.'
