Journalist’s Perspective
Marcin Prokop took to his Facebook page to comment on the mishap, noting that “karma seems to have caught up with me, as spectacular holes keep punishing me. Once, while demonstrating a kick for an interview, my jeans tore on a sudden 180‑degree turn; another time, Egyptian wool got ripped from my back as I tried to mimic Adam Małysz’s exit from a great log. Today, a second‑hand tow, cutting its way through a curve, threatened to punch a hole in the door of my rear‑facing ‘beat,’ a patch still being worked on in the garage with my brother‑in‑law to shine for suburban fetes.” He added that the incident has given him a “twisted rear axle, which was not standard this year,” and that the media’s portrayal of his 540 as a “collector’s M5 worth over 200,000 zł” has increased the vehicle’s value.
