    That's scary to say the least.

    But it literally takes two minutes to check the thread dept and to check for nips and/or bulges in the side wall of four tyres. I do check the tires of all the cars and jeep at home every 4 days for tread dept and 2 days for bulges and nips in the side wall of the tyre. Well worth the few minutes to prevent, what could be such an awful out come.

    What the hell did he hit to launch the car? If he had hit a hedge/ditch he'd probably have survived..

    It almost looks fake with the way the car went through the air. Must be significant speed involved to do that. Even if the most perfect ramp was set up to get a car into the air, you would struggle to get that high and far

    That island with the sign on it looks a decent ramp. Looks like he was at 80 mph or so too.
