Attempt failed, driver survived

In the past, we have seen different situations where some have tried to do the almost impossible with cars, like the Top Gear team that tried to destroy a Toyota Hilux 12 years ago. A similar failed attempt took place in Russia where a famous Russian stuntman from a Lada Niva tried to jump from one building roof to another.

The Top Gear team placed the car on top of a building that was being prepared for demolition. After the controlled explosion and demolition of the 23-story building, Toyota Hilux was smashed and bashed almost beyond recognition. However, using basic tools, the mechanic succeeded and started the engine. Unbelievable.

Well, the Russian team was not so successful in their attempt. Their crazy attempt with a driver in a car, unlike the Top Gear crew, did not go as well as they had hoped. Evgeny Chebotarev and his team were too ambitious. The car was not powerful enough to reach the required speed in a short distance, so instead of landing on another building, the Lada hit a wall and fell from the top of the three-story building to the ground. After the fall, the car looked destroyed, luckily the driver was uninjured.

The attempt failed, the driver survived.
