In a passenger car that drop would probably have maimed or killed the occupants. In a race car they probably would have been alright.

To codriver must have had bad notes. Definitely a second gear turn, not a fourth gear.

How so? First up, a passenger car wouldn't be travelling nearly as fast (or at least, you'd hope not).

Second, many modern passenger cars have side impact beams and curtain airbags.

You'd probably get injured, but I think you'd have to be pretty unlucky to be "maimed or killed".

And that guardrail is functioning exactly as designed. The connections to the ground are designed to break, but the rail itself acts like a giant rubber band. *engineering

If im reading this right you guys are talking about two different things. You about hitting the guardrail and him about actually plunging over the edge.

D'oh!!! You're totally right.

@AeroMechanical, my apologies... I completely failed to see the keyword "drop" in the sentence "In a passenger car that DROP probably have maimed or killed the occupants." (emphasis mine).

In which case, I completely agree. A race car would have a roll cage, but a passenger car would be seriously kerfuckelled.

Let that be a lesson, kids; don't comment on things before your first coffee.

story of my life.

What is it with all these short videos that MUST BE repeated over and over again?
It only needs to be there one time, we have rewind!!
Just noticing the new VERY ANNOYING trend.

Yeah, also had a little bit of luck there. Physics could have still gone very wrong.

I don't mind if the first one is at full speed and then in slo-mo, but yeah, this was total overkill.
