Anti-roll feature demonstration
 
Check this out, hopefully he opted for leather seats for easier clean up. Can't get any closer than this.

YouTube - will this BMW X5 end on the roof or stay on the wheels?

Ok,
Going to go out and try to duplicate this. Wish me luck.

Whats really impresive is the drive keeps his foot down and keeps going! If that had of been me I would have needed to stop and take deep breaths for a while...

Repoman 03-12-2010 01:42 PM

Your right . . . I didn't notice that before. It's like he has been in that position before and actually knew how to drive out of it. There's something you don't learn in driver's ed.

That is such a badass vid, I remember when that first happened it was all over the place.

Definitely skilled driving, kinda reminds me of something thta happened to me with my old Jeep, only not as pretty :)

Steer into the slide + full throttle so the front tire pulls it upright + a LOT of luck :thumbup:

And a set of balls bigger than Texas!

As old as that video is I am still amazed whenever I watch it. I especially get a kick out of the guy running to get out of the way and how close to the edge of the cliff the truck gets!

nom3rcy 03-12-2010 08:40 PM

Yea the cliff is the craziest part - had the truck rolled it certainly would have tumbled beyond the edge... I'm sure the driver is thanking his lucky balls lol

sethro 03-12-2010 09:26 PM

He just drives away like it never happened, just another day at the office :D

cheappc 03-12-2010 10:33 PM

I just had to see that video again, you guys are right about the cliff, thats one lucky mfr, Geez, I wonder how long is the drop on that cliff...

X5 Meister 03-16-2010 07:28 PM

Must have been one amazing blow job.
