I guess these guys need a physics lesson and .. to understand the word : OUTRIGGER.. The fact the second truck, the position is ridiculous.. The last ones of the truck falling in.. are photoshopped.. my first clue was the position of the from tires.. the fact the suspension never dropped the tire down..

:lol:

Shouldn't it be made the way that the hand like thingy going straight and not on the side. And then taking it towards reverse?

Technically, if the truck is designed correctly, it has four outriggers which are placed to lift the whole truck up and into the air off its suspension..Putting the balance and dispersal of the weight evenly on the outriggers.. The base of the unit's mount point should idealy be farthest from the lift point in relation to its position within the four outriggers..( if its not in the center ) It however SHOULD work.. well in any of the four.. BUT .. when you have a long truck.. and you don't boom them out ( outriggers ) as far as they should go or down all the way.. you change the base support of the platform.. ( using the suspension - which tilts the platform its on; so you wind up with all of the weight on one outrigger the way they are sitting it up here ) You wind up lifting the weightless end of the platform.. the one with the weight on it, becomes a pivot-point and the next thing you know its all lolly-!@#$%^... :lmao: Its clear from what they did, and the angle of the lift.. that they assumed the outriggers would give the truck sliding support ( which is not their purpose.. ) therefore when they started to boom up in the lift - splash..

Anyway.. yeah... and it was going to be an easy morning they thought.. just slide up yank the car out and go.. EASY.. yeah right... even with the space constraints I would have not positioned the truck that way..

oh after looking more closely it looks like the two last crashes where repeat photos. so only the white car and two other vehilces where involved at least the 3rd vehilce recovered the little white one before falling
