@korranda That was the Tire getting punctured. You can see that it goes flat once the truck lands back on that wheel.

Are you joking? To discredit the manufacturers?? you are an idiot. Try the test that every vehicle has to go through before they can sell them and have them on the roads. yeah its a evil conspiracy agenda, dumb ass

yeah these videos exist solely to discredit the manufacturers, there's some kind of agenda behind all of them. The funniest part is, people watch these and then go, "OMG LOL this vehicle SUCKS! OMG LOL! FLAME ME!"

Something went POOF by the wheel.

Also you have to realize the crash is exaggerated. Its being pulled, not moved by itself and probably has more momentum? And its hitting an immovable stone block. So imagine hitting a car, that would do way less damage.
