Sep 13, 2008 - Lol what crappy music. Forget to take into account the aerodynamics of a car facing perpendicular to a 280mph wind did we?

Oct 7, 2008 - Thats not the whole story, this is part of a 1 hour movie about it all and Powers was called in at the last minute to do the driving from memory. Takes balls to be strapped in and do that, I doubt the people laughing here would do the same, i know i wouldn't. I wonder if the ramp is still there after all these years?

Oct 11, 2008 - It was the wings they added on to the car that caused it, you can see them taking the car up, fold over, and smash the roof. If they did their job properly, he might of made it.

Nov 11, 2008 - They mentioned Knievel's abortive jump over the Snake River, and exactly the same thing happened here: a premature parachute deployment that brought both bike and car to a halt in mid-air. So... what's up with that?
BadAbo136 Says:
Nov 11, 2008 - fucking idiot!

Nov 11, 2008 - He was extremely lucky. The parachute was what saved him. If the car had gotten tangled in the chutes lines he would have died. The stunt itself was extremely stupid from an aerodynamic prespective. To cut through the air at that speed and attack angle you would need a needlepoint shaped vehicle, not the huge flat-fronted Lincoln. The little 'wings' installed on his car were crushed in microseconds under the tremendous loads placed on them.

Nov 12, 2008 - man this is fucked up i've watched it so many times lol

Nov 13, 2008 - What do you think would happen if that was done to ordinary car made today? By the way I believe the body of the licoln was replaced with fiberglass.
