This guy's lucky he didn't land on an M2CS

New York Post : Man plunges 9 stories from NJ high-rise, lands on BMW — and survives.

The carbon roof would not have absorbed the impact.

I wonder though -I wonder what the comparative stiffness and energy dissipation would be in that particular direction.

I have no interest in testing.

I'm not an engineer. My speculation is that it might be like hitting water, and then the roof would have snapped inward. Or it doesn't snap inward, but buckles the roof attachment points to where the roof gets pushed into the cabin as a single piece. Either way I don't think it would have worked out as well for this guy.

On the flip side I could see 100 poeple repeating this feat and it not working out for any of them. It's crazy that this guy survived.

I see a 'Darwin Award' runner up nomination coming for this guy. 😜😜
For those who don't know, the Darwin Awards are given out each year to individuals who have benefited society through self sacrifice due to stupidity…

It's very competitive in 2021. You'd have to nominate most of Florida.
