UAP1 · 05-12-2010, 07:34 PM

This is nuts! This guy had to be flying for this to happen!

CollinsE90 · 05-12-2010, 07:50 PM

I get the joke.

The dude died though. I have a hard time laughing at that. That is somebodies friend...son...brother...cousin.

Shoot, that could have been any of us that have driven fast at any point in our lives.

I thought it was just nuts to land on a roof! He had to be flying!

Fast speed + Air under the car = Airborne!

looks like he was right by an entrance to the freeway. thats too crazy

side note: thats the smallest gym ive ever seen in my life

CollinsE90 · 05-12-2010, 08:05 PM

I didn't read the article bc I'm on my BB, didn't know the guy died...I figured it was just one of those funny parking pics...now I feel like a jackass

Alexander · 05-12-2010, 08:21 PM

Vtech did kick in. Hey its just a lesson of choice/ consequences.

Don't feel bad man.

I thought it was a parking pic type deal too. Until I watched the video and read the article.

chungdae · 05-12-2010, 11:30 PM

How fast do you think he was going?

pretty fucking fast if all it took was hitting a like 5 inch curb to fly that far and that high

That is what I was wondering. Had to be high digits to get a car airborn so high you land on a roof.

It's like this guy who took a Z06 C6 Vette on a test drive and hit a massive reinforced concrete wall in the triple digits... Needless to say that dude is dead.

Ya. Any car and person (especially car made of fiberglass) would not fair well with an impact on a reinforced concrete wall with trible digits!

That is nuts!

I love how pissed off my mom was... She was the architect of the building (Middle School) and it was just finished right before the crash. Way to unveil a building!

immiketoo · 05-13-2010, 11:44 AM

I don't think it's possible that the curb impact caused that. The physics don't add up.

CollinsE90 · 05-13-2010, 11:46 AM

why does the video look fake? looks that it came from the beetlejuice movie...

Couch · 05-13-2010, 11:51 AM

I've been trying to figure this out too.

http://www.bing.com/maps/default.asp...n-US&FORM=BYFD

The only possible way I see it happening is he was on the freeway and somehow lost control and flew over the wall. Notice the curve on the freeway. While not sharp at all. Coming around that corner at very high speed it could happen.

smellfish · 05-13-2010, 04:25 PM

Definitely came off the highway. No way a curb would give a car that much lift.

ragingclue · 05-13-2010, 04:30 PM

Looks like he probably did some tumbling.

Maestro · 05-13-2010, 04:32 PM

He was probably going well over 100 MPH hit the curb which cause the car to do a end over end hitting the one side of the building then bounced across that to end up landing on the roof of the building.

At least he turned on his blinkers

pretty crazy

shuarma · 05-13-2010, 08:57 PM

my guess is that he was tumbling then hit the curb, then his vtec kicked in and he landed on the ruf
