Based on the picture, it looks to me like the car stalled before it made it over the ramp. The cars have governors installed on them that locks the car into a specific speed whenever it's going into the air. This ensures that the car doesn't overshoot or undershoot the landing ramp. If you watch the show during Ballet Chase (the first scene), you'll notice that when the reverse hero heads from stage right to stage left the reverse hero and three pursuit cars give the folks on the stage a thumbs up. This lets the folks on the stage know that the governor on each individual car is working and the driver is good for the jump. If the driver can't get the governor to work for some reason, he would simply bypass the ramp and drive to the side of it.
That being said, there's no reason that I can think of for why the car wouldn't have landed right on target other than the car having stalled and the driver not having enough time to abort the jump.
I know this is a serious topic, and I ~am~ concerned for the driver and hope he's alright, but I am seriously cracking up at you guys who think LMA is boring but the Golden Girls are exciting... No offense, opinions are opinions...It's just funny to me.:ROFLOL:
Yep, funny in a sad kinda way:ROFLOL:
Of course it is almost disturbingly morbid too. There seems to be a mad rush to these boards to see who can post the most disturbing stories which is quite disturbing in and of it's self.
Not just talking about this thread or even this board, it's everywhere!
For all the guys who seem to know so much about how LMA works, how do you know about all of these procedures? Has anyone acquired a SOP for LMA?

To me, its a great representation of car action sequences that we see in the movies.
Precisely why it is such a bore. It's been done to death on TV, the movies, and in video games. :snore: I did enjoy the technical aspects of the show - how stunts are accomplished, etc.
Pixie dust for the driver of the car that wrecked.
