The Dutch are freaking insane. via Jalopnik



Those stunt dummies must have been smoking some real good stuff to volunteer for this mess.

I mean really?  Seriously?

The Dutch are insane.

  1. Must be an older video (or fake?) as the dutch have phased out their MBT in 2011.

  2. Could be using old Hollywood tricks. Telephoto lenses make things look like they're closer together than they really are.

    1. even using hollywood trick if those people were within half a mile of a 70 ton vehicle going full speed and then skidding to a stop is beyond dangerous. sorry, you can't poke holes in this one. no matter how you slice it, its an insane stunt.

  3. There's some kind of line or bump on the road behind them. The tank driver immediately starts slowing down once he's over it. They measured this pretty closely before they did it.

  4. Tanks stop in 1-2 tank lenghts so that bump in the road is quite early
