Who needs a space program when SUVs are launched into orbit?

I'm all for personal responsibility and Darwinism, but instead of putting up a couple orange signs, do you think they could have taken an hour or two and cut out that part of the asphalt?

Dang I'm surprised the SUV didn't roll.

Dang I'm surprised the SUV didn't roll.

Or have a serious tire blowout ... although that may have happened (can't tell from the video).

that's a lot of air and a hard landing.

That's gonna be a f***' lawsuit on the state. As it should be.

True, the SUV did look like it was going rather fast...hmm..when I see construction signs for "bump" I don't equate that with "ACCELERATE" but then again...that was clearly a Dukes of Hazzard ramp.

Agreed. Usually when they have "bump", it's pretty minor. That thing looked like it was designed to launch vehicles haha.

I wonder if there were any other signs other than those 2. For all we know that poor person could have been looking at the radio at the time or something.

[OriginalWheelman]

I could have landed that, but as a redneck, I have lots of experience jumping trucks.

[themadscientist]

Just another day in Hazzard County.

[TurboSauce]

Wonder what damages were sustained to the vehicle, or even if the airbags went off

[nissangirl74]

Wouldn't you like to be the person in the back seat who had dozed off to sleep?

[TurboSauce]

I guess you'd "wake up in deep s***"

[OriginalWheelman]

I was actually laying across the back seat of a GMC Jimmy 4 door one day when my friend decided to jump a set of rail road tracks. I hit the ceiling, then the floor then almost to the ceiling again before I landed for good. She thought it would be funny if she didn't tell me. I obviously had a different opinion.

[TurboSauce]

Imagine if you were in the back seat banging and then boom!
I wonder how bad the case of bent peenor would be.
