Car hits ditch and goes 110 feet without touching the ground and then hits house

[BrokenBackJack]

How fricken fast would they have to be going to go that far without touching the ground before hitting the house?

You'd have to know the approximate weight of the car and the slope of the ditch.

Launch angle, speed, weight of car and cars suspencion are a few of the things that come into play.

how about number of drinks, wind, daylight or darkness, barometric pressure, temp. humidity. kind of like a bullet.

Wonder what the twist rate was for the ditch.

My favorite part was "St. Croix County sheriff’s deputies used this map to illustrate the flight path a car took after vaulting out of a ditch and crashing into a house Dec. 16. Image courtesy of St. Croix County Sheriff’s Office.".

Sounds a lot like "hold my beer and watch this"...

As indicated above, her speed will be easily calculated based on physics (launch angle, weight, etc.) by an accident reconstruction team. Kind of reminds me of the case last summer near Grand Forks where a man drove 1/2 mile across a wheat field and crashed into a home. In that case I believe I heard that the cause was a medical condition and not alcohol.

The home owners lucky it could have been this guy.

Wonder what the twist rate was for the ditch.

me too... was it a quarter rotation? 1 1/4, 2 1/4?

 

[wby257]

Could have been a smooth bore.

Ask Evel K.

After further review of the previous video, I think the people in WI made only 1/4 rotation. Haha

Where was Steven Avery during all this?
