Or we could get a fully loaded 80, 000lb semi and hit one of your wheels.... close to the force that that those Methods saw and I bet youll get the same result. Im almost positive any wheel would have the same or similar damage in this case.

Good idea you should buy one and do it.

So I reviewed the footage, checked the hill angle and calculated it out to what all happened. The rate of decline puts the landing area 12 feet below the launch point. The rate of rise shows the truck reached an apex point of 41 feet so the total fall was just over 53 feet total. With the weight of the truck times decent at 51 feet pser second the truck was falling at just over 153 MPH on impact. Times the weight of the truck 6400 pounds with two idiots on board. Giving us a tptal weight distribution per weel of Mass times (6400 pounds) rate of decent 53 feet per second times flgiht time 4 seconds the weight on impact was 4 times the weight of the truck 6400 X 4 = 25600 pounds divided per wheel at 4 equals a total impact weight on each wheel of 6400 pounds at least 2 times the max weight recomended per wheel. This event will in the future produce two society supported individuals that can not work because of lower back issues. In the end the cost will be more along the lines of 40,000 for one truck and 1,000,000 dollars to support two idiots... So in the end watch the video and you know where some tax dollars will eventually be going...lol... :suicide:

Im copying off you next time haha! Way more indepth than a quick/dirty falling mass equation. :hmm:

And don't forget that it looked like he primarily landed on only one wheel...
