HOLLY SHIZA!!!! BAT MAN!!! or in this case Dusty Bird.

Can we say thank your higer power for the life they gave you.

Personally i have seen way to many things like this in the time i was a EMT. to make sure i drive safer then i used to.

we didnt have mountins but we did have bluffs in the area we worked as Vol. fire rescue.

we have pulled cars from the side of those and it makes you wonder how they survie it.

Once that truck went through the guard rails, unless a miracle occurred and the Vector changed ... his "Flight Path" could not return him that close to the guard rails without some tremendous force being applied to the airborne mass.

With that in mind, I seriously doubt that a pickup truck, traveling at sufficient speed to crash through the guard rails, could have its Vector changed to avoid continuing over the edge of that cliff.

Therefore, I would agree with those who have stated that this photograph is a fraud. The instant the truck breached the guard rail, its momentum could not deviate from a straight line and expect to have that much weight come to a rest on a line of a different Vector needed for the guard rails to be breached.
