this was in the 1970's caution its long http://break.com/index/greatest_car_stunt_ever.html

 

wow, that guys out of his mind. Broke his back 7 times and STILL tried to jump a car (licoln continental no less), a friggin mile? Not sure what he was thinking really. I don't think theres any possible way it could have worked. Even if he did make it, then what, you just fell 300 feet on to the solid ground. Congrats, you are dead. And the parachutes didn't help his cause, at least the kept him alive

 

now you could probly go a little bit further but hell I mean a mile that is quite long. wow 7 other times for breaking his back that is just insane. looked like he went straight up then right down!

 

He shouldnt have had the hood open in the front... it should have been sealed, that is what flipped him around... and what were the parachutes going to do for when he landed?

 

i think that the song was pretty funny to listen to.... 1 mile though in a lincoln..... ??????[&:]

 

Hahaha nothin like 1970's aerodynamic technology.

 

Wow, this man has some BIG cojones, or he's just crazy...

 

how is that even remotely safe?

 

Damn crazy crazy guy. Even if you paid me a lot of money i wouldnt do it.

 

My favorite part of the vid is when the announcer said "Divers are in the water and recue crew is waiting on the other side is case of a disaster" What did they think was gonna happen? Smooth landing? lol .... you know....if his car hadn't blown up I think he might have actually made it!
