  • Gys pls, you're not looking closely enough. If you look at the manhole when it bounces off the pavement, you'll see it is welded to a heavy duty grille (off centre).
    Like this:

    The manhole is more like a deep cylindrical section. I would assume the corner of the grille which is welded to it was sticking up which caught something on the undercarriage of the car. The thickness of the manhole suggests it is wedged pretty hard into the hole, allowing it to anchor the instantaneous load when the car hits, at least enough to allow the car to be flipped. If you look at the grille when it hits the floor, it is heavily deformed (though still attached to the manhole), evidencing the large forces it has borne before the manhole was ripped out of the ground.

  • What's with the blond guy - looks like he's being dazzled by awesomness...

    He's there to catch him if he pulled off earlier and headed into the road...

  • Looks planned, why are there 2 cameras on it?

  • Considering that it was uploaded to the tube by "carsandchases" I call fake.

  • I find it very had to believe that there would be pedestrians wandering around in the impact zone if it was a planned stunt.

  • Surely if it was planned there would be a person on the street filming for it to look best. As opposed to a dash cam from a van and what looks like a CCTV/security camera.

  • When they do the air cannon car flip stunts, the cannon is mounted inside the car. It's a big piece of mild steel tube with a piece of telegraph pole which gets rammed out under pressure. Here, you have a manhole in the ground on a residential street. There is no way of rigging that up as an air cannon. Regardless of whether it is staged or not, the car does flip because of the metal grille which is welded to the manhole cover. Look as the car rolls and you'll see it bounce on the ground. It's clearly caught on the car, and the corner has been severely bent up by the forces involved. The fact it's a residential street with peds walking around would seem to suggest it is highly unlikely that it is a setup. Unlike with an air cannon, the crash is entirely uncontrolled, and you wouldn't risk having the car fly off into someone's house/the pavement and kill someone.

  • Plural for LEGO is LEGO.

    cognoscenti

    Cognoscento. Cognoscenti is the plural.

  • Exactly.
    I was implying that he was one of that group.

  • Thus the pluralization.
