WTF I cant believe a rolling wheel flipped a car.
When the wheels of the car make contact with the rolling wheel, the front of the car wheels are rolling “down” while the back of the loose wheel is rolling “up.” This basically makes a slingshot effect, launching the car into the air.
This can also happen when one car clips another car if the tires make contact just right
There should be equal energy transferred into the free wheel though, shouldn't there?
That's where I'm getting lost. It just stops.
Forward momentum, 70+mph
Bumper must have been the right height and they caught it dead center
