I have seen it happen before... ramp was not that big, but the car was going faster than that. Guy gets out and starts yelling at the kids. My question is how dumb do you have to be to speed through a residential area and not pay attention. Not to mention there are kids all along the side of the road (should be a sign to slow down and be alert). The thing that gets under my skin is this guy looks like he would have plowed through anything (including a kid) if it was in the road. Hopefully that ramp woke him up.

Kids did seem to build a pretty stout ramp.

Guy should have been paying attention in the neighborhood but on the other hand, I'm not in favor of kids playing on the street. Streets are for driving on, not play grounds. Glad no one was hurt.

reminds me of back in the day when my sreet was like the city skate park (bikes only, some cool skate boarders) and around 5 when everyone was getting home frome work we would have to move all the ramps, took people who lived at the end of the street like 6 minutes to get into their driveways. lol the good days

btw, who ever built that ramp is a damn good craftsman to hold up a car and make it get air.

the driver should have done a trick

I'm sure they hit it on purpose, why would they be taping it if not?

Yupp, classic case of a jackass trying to ruin the kids ramp. Looks like he found out who the jackass was... Good stuff
