When Cars Fly: Trump 2020<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Have you ever thought to yourself: \u201cI\u2019d love to throw a car out of an airplane\u201d?<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

… No?<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Well these guys did.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It was Konstantin Petrijcuk\u2019s dream to huck a car out of a airplane since he first started skydiving 10 years ago. This August, he and his friends made that dream a reality. With the help of Steve Curtis, professional skydiver\/stunt coordinator, this rowdy crew traveled to Arizona\u2019s Area 51 to throw not one, but two cars out of an airplane. Not only that, they rode inside the cars!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This is extremely dangerous since the behavior of a car in freefall is completely unpredictable. There were some close calls, along with some short term injuries, but all in all it was a safe and successful mission.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was like riding a roller coaster on an invisible track!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Behind the Scenes<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

The video below takes a look at the characters, how the stunt was done and what problems were encountered along the way. Choosing and doing up the car, planning the impact point, risk assessment, the rocket jump<\/a> \u2013 and Showtime!<\/p>\n
