That video was great! I almost want to go jump out of a plane ..... almost! ... but then I start to wonder how many people have to suffer a failure for each success? And what are my chances of success?


The following are painful to watch, hopefully the participants survived and recovered...
Truck Jump
Skydiving

Tajon - WOW, that was incredible (1:41 was unbelievably close to the ground and FAST!!!) The flyer (Corliss) hit some rocks in S.A. back in January and has been in hospital for 5 weeks, he still intends to keep jumping when he's recovered.

Jan, I hope one of your Panteras has a brace kit before you try for 'big air'. Larry Stock hit a hump-backed bridge at 150mph a few years ago in an open road event and reportedly flew about 100 feet lengthwise and 8 ft of altitude. After driving back home 100 miles with no detectable handling problems, he found that both front lower frame extensions has snapped their welds at the tub! The only thing holding the whole lower front suspension on was his brace bar set. Monococques don't take kindly to flying (or at least landing on concrete), I guess.

Ha ha, no, not jump my car, but instead that piece of video where a person jumps over the moving Lambo. I just waxed my car to prep, maybe Bosswrench is up for it after some brief stretching? See here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlZwNmAVXiE
