This was a wonderfully successful stunt.It might look easy, but we spent a month preparing for this, spent thousands of dollars on modifying the car, had a crew of professional stunt people, and the car was destroyed (as they all are when "jumped"--see the video "hauling out the jump car"). DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME.And... another view of the stunt:
