million bucks... lol

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

I think I remember seeing this on an old "Faces of Death" video tape.

So is that the "Hot Rod Lincoln" Charlie Ryan sang about? : )

This is an example of a "hoser", a Canadian hick who existed from the early 70's through to the late 80's.

You'd think after 4 years and over a million dollars (in the 70s!) someone, at some point, would have consulted an aerospace engineer or at least someone smart enough to know that a big, gaping hole on the underside of the car plus 280mph winds equals the car going poof.

Side note: Why don't news documentaries have that kind of music anymore?

I can't imagine why a fine aerodynamic car like a Lincoln would breakup in the air.

I think it looks like the drogue chute was out at the moment it left the ramp.

A hoser is more than any old hick. A hoser was like a L337 hick before the concept of L337 even existed.

I would love to get one of those rocket boosters for the next time I'm at a red light! :-)

He must have had same chute designer as Evel.

He's probably lucky the parachutes deployed early. If they hadn't he'd probably have been spun so hard and in so many directions he'd have hard scrambled brains instead of the soft mush he obviously had for attempting this! What a hoser!
