Jump!
Low bridge
A stunt that will leave your audience amazed and with
disbelieve. Did we really see what we just saw? Is this really possible?
The act starts with the announcement of a stunt where a stuntman will
drive his car into a trailer. This will cause the roof of his car to come
off and the car will come out as a convertible on the other side of the
trailer. However, it all seems to go wrong. Someone has not measured everything
well beforehand and the car is a little too high to be able to execute
the stunt successfully. If, however, a second stuntman stands on the roof
of the car, the springs appear to be pressed just enough that the height
is corrected. Only ... that man can not possibly stay there? The car drives
to its starting position with the second man still on top of the car.
Then the car starts his run up. This cannot be! The man on top of the
car will crash into the trailer!
The car drives against the trailer at high speed. The car is scalped by
the low trailer. The man standing on the roof of the car jumps up just
in time to avoid being hit by the trailer. Because the forward speed of
the man standing on the car is equal to that of the car itself, the man
flies over the trailer. On the other side of the trailer he lands nicely
in the just-created convertible. The public cheers loudly, but will always
keep doubting whether this was real, or a trick.
It is real, and it can be really dangerous. Although physics shows that
this is very possible, this stunt must be prepared very carefully and
nothing must be left to chance. The surface must be hard and nice and
flat. And both the car and the trailer have to be prepared very carefully
for this stunt. Everything needs to be accurately measured in advance.
And a large part of this work must take place on the event site on a day
prior to the event.
But when the time is there, this work will pay off. A unique stunt that
your audience has certainly never seen before and will surely make them
come back to your event again next year.
