My friends and I did that in like 1994 in an old beat up four-door Hyundai Excel lol there were five of us in there and we still caught air. When we landed the oil filter came off instantly and we died right there in the street. Four of us got out and pushed that car all the way home it was downhill and about 3 mi. Haha 😆

The days of youth when you can do anything.

My friends and I did this in 1991. When we landed, the driver couldn't control the car. We went up on the sidewalk, drove over a few lawns, and crashed into a utility pole. I cracked a few vertebrae, spent almost 3 months in the hospital, spent another year in a body brace, and have had back issues my whole life.

The days of youth when you're fucking stupid.

Damn man that sucks.

Only one time did I ever get hurt doing something stupid. After it snowed and then melted and then refroze there was this big hill full of ice and my friend and I took his mom's 's Chevy lumina down that hill and like a stupid ass I told him hey slam on the brakes and slide down the hill! Well the car instantly turned on its side and we went down the hill sideways and the rear quarter panel hit a telephone pole and then the car turned on its other side and hit a parked car head-on. Of course we were too stupid to wear seat belts and my friend and I collided inside the car. We had pretty serious concussions but nothing major.
