How many flips?? šŸ˜®šŸ’« Watching a 12,000-pound truck execute a perfect backflip seems like a glitch in the laws of physics, but it is actually a calculated masterpiece of engineering. To control the truck in mid-air, drivers manipulate angular momentum by accelerating the massive tires to spin the chassis backward or slamming the brakes to pitch the nose down. This aerial maneuver is initiated by nitrogen-charged suspension systems that launch the truck off steep ramps with explosive force. Meanwhile, the driver survives the violent landing thanks to a center-mounted steel survival cell, custom-fitted restraints, and remote kill switches that ensure total protection. Knowing the intense forces at play inside the cab, would you ever have the courage to strap yourself in for a ride? What are your thoughts? šŸ¤”šŸ’­ ( via bigmerica_rc ) #monstertruck #trucks #4x4
