My first thought when the video started was, this isn't going to end well. Pretty amazing that he did it. I wonder why he went backwards, I would have thought that going forwards would have made it easier to steer.
Judging by the segmented appearance of the near side bridge strut and the Chinese characters on the side of the vehicle it's Bamboo. That stuff is as strong and as hard as steel when it's dry. Pretty neat material for a giant grass.
I assume he lowered the pressure in the tires before he tried it. Still, the wood could have shifted, an inch would do it. The two banks were not reinforced for this, something could have settled or dropped. Why did he do it?
Or, you could just drive around until you found a bridge.

It must be stabilized at the ends to prevent rolling too.
DeleteWhich does not mean I'd ever try that.
Imagine a entire country of people this determined to succeed?

ReplyDeleteSo I suppose that placing two more logs alongside those skinny little poles would be out of the question? ...or too expensive?
ReplyDeleteBalls of solid rock. And a head just as full of them.
