crazy guy, but apparently he didn't worry about the weight distribution of his car or the aerodynamics at all. adding a front wing or some more front weight could've helped him go a bit farther, I bet.

HAH!! I remember this clip! It was taken from a movie called "Faces Of Death III". The Faces Of Death movies were always morbidly fun to watch as a kid, 'cause they were all about showing actual deaths caught on tape. This retard didn't die, but did break his back for what, the SEVENTH time??

I'm sorry, but anyone who thinks a '78 Lincoln Continental has the aerodynamic capability of stable flight....well, you know the rest, lol! As Carlos Mencia would say...Dee-dee-dee!! I think this moron decelerated even faster than Evel Kneivel's rocket-plane did when he tried the same type of thing over the Snake River Canyon somewhere around the time this video was shot. What an embarrassment to his parents.

LOL!

What a moron indeed - trying to jump a 1-mile wide river with a jet-propelled Lincoln Continental! I love the moment when the body of the car is destroyed in the air...
another LOL...

my guess is that he only opened his physics books and saw this equation:


and tought it was enough :roll:
