Audi attempts to *climb* a ski ramp

In reply to this comment by joedirt:
This is soooooo bad. They clearly had a cable. Check out 2:01 to 2:02 for where they video edit out the cable and it magically appears for a few frames.

Why go to the trouble to edit it out? This is lame.


Well, I wouldn't want to do this 'without' a cable. Let's assume for the moment that this isn't fake. What happens if they get halfway up, then the car starts to slide backwards? Since it's a Ski Jump, it's made to have things speed down it and fly off. I'd hate to do that in a car (I think I saw that on Top Gear somewhere).

My guess is that the cable is a safety locking mechanism that prevents the car from sliding backwards. Note when the car fails to climb the ramp, I don't see it slide backwards much. I don't think there's really any another way to provide this safety measure. Well, at least without damaging the car and/or ramp...
