Watching how the traction control kicks in was interesting. But I believe the moral of the video is ..... don't keep stalling the vehicle. I thought that guy at the end of the video in the black vehicle was going to roll it at least twice.

Can you imagine how much oil and parts were left on the tracks with all of those Land Rovers in one place?!

If you look at the comments on the Youtube page, they said that the range rover shattered it's CV.
The thing that scares me is the amount of wheel lift and the horrible angles. Absolutely zero flex from the suspension means that the traction control does all the work with a wheel way in the air.
Would have been a thrill of a ride!

If you like the sounds of (other peoples) car bodies landing on cold hard rock, then this is the video for you!
Some highlights:
* There is a good high-lift + winch effort
* Lots of turtling (really good one around the 18 minute mark)
* The "Million dollar drop" doesn't look too flash
It is a tad long at around 22 minutes, but worth it.

Polystyrene rocks, cardboard kangaroos and fake dust storms - real tough

What a strange video.
Anyway, that could be an interesting thing to organise at our Christmas party, I.e. an obstacle course of some type with some interactive obstacles.
