thats more than a rock! !
Is that for real! See the tip of the mountain at about 5 seconds fall?!

I find it hard to believe anything on the internet!

Funny story! : i saw these youtube videos of people skimming stones, and saw these mad ones where the stone kind of doesnt jump but slides like a boat for 30 metres leaving spray behind it! Gotta be fake! Anyway i did it! hehe! Had a piece of marble about 10cm by 10cm by 1cm with slime, it skimmed across a river for about 30-40metres after the 1st jump or 3 and left me gobsmacked!! Couldnt believe it!

one positive is the occupants of the car can blame the mud for the brown marks on their pants. you never know when your time is up.

Who thinks to put their hazards on, and then turn them off, after being hit by a mountain?
I'm leaning towards CGI on this one.

They're really lucky all the small stuff got them first, and pushed them across the road.

Dash cam footage... got to love it.

Can watch clip after clip on youtube if I'm bored...

Russian ones are the best.... Some stuff (like what was posted above), you just wouldn't believe unless you saw it.
