Moving Truck vs Low Bridge in Slow Mo

Gav and Dan recruit the help of stunt driver Kyle Weishaar, as they attempt to shave the top off a moving truck with a simulated bridge overpass-- all in amazing 4K slow motion. The Super Slow Show, only on KZbin.

[@Redrocketboy420]

"How fast you gonna be going?" "Oh... 30-35” later.... "I may have drifted up to 40" Best stunt driver ever

honestly, low key, how about don't. going over the speed in a calculated setting like this is a really questionable decision. looking at the fruit stand video... yikes. if stuff like this goes wrong, it endangers the reputation of the entire channel.

[@datguymiller]

Yeah they didn't do it cuz of all the crashes, they did it cuz of railroad junk (the bridge is a rail bridge)

[@Khrrck]

@@datguymiller I think it's a little of both. They were relaying the rail bed and since they had the opportunity, went ahead and raised the bridge to hopefully avoid more crashes.
