This stunt was for an Australian radio show and was called Drop The Bomb. People had to enter the competition by offering their old car for disposal from 14000ft. The winner had her car prepared for the drop (engine, gearbox and drivetrain removed) and it was pushed out of a skyvan from 14k. Watching it impact from a distance was, to say the least, spectacular.

I know this has been done many times before in the states. It is however a first in oz, just thought people would be interested.

people probably are interested. somewhere, out there, people care about this. however, i lost the will to live at the first mcdonalds advert.

"Superstitious" is just a polite way of saying "incredibly fucking stupid".
DONK!

So for the car in Oz, they did skydive with it, right? Jump from inside the car?

If it's just a big piece of trash in freefall with nobody skydiving, then it doesn't really concern us in this forum.

No one was inside the car but 4 people jumped with it and filmed it until it bounced. It most certainly was not just a piece of trash falling by itself. The boys that followed it out have bigger balls than I do. And I agree the maccas ad does give one suicidal thoughts, just hit the mute button until it's over.

You are lucky you bailed. The video doesn't even show the impact. WEAK!

the guys that followed kelly burton and me (my 85th and 86th jump) out the back door of the skyvan with a beer keg got bigger balls, greg gasson was the smart one and exited just before we did.
