Wheel hop gone wrong.

[Ingeniator]

Just spotted this out of Edmonton. Excuse the laughing hyenas in the dash cam car. I'm going to assume this was kids in Daddies cars.

EDMONTON — Astonishing dashcam footage posted online shows the back axle of a muscle car becoming completely detached from the vehicle.The video captures what appears to be a red Dodge Dart passing the vehicle with the dashcam before jerking and halting in the right lane.
The back end of the car bounces upwards and the back axle – with both rear wheels – breaks off and is left in the middle of the road.
RCMP confirm the incident happened in Stony Plain, a town just west of Edmonton, on May 11, 2015.
The jaw-dropping footage was posted on YouTube and the Shoutout Edmonton website.
Stony Plain RCMP say no charges were laid.

Does wheel hop ever go right?

It looks like the guy spent a ton of money on engine and didn't have any left over for suspension. Or maybe something was just done wrong. The nose of the car dips like he was trying to power brake but the rear axle is just ripped from the chassis instead.

All the power in the world is useless if you can't put it to the ground.

The laughing pissed my dog off.

Ouch though, that was bad.

Might feature this one.

This one is like WTF. I'll post the GIF as the video has been removed.

UPDATE FROM THE DRIVER OF THE BIKE HIMSELF:

“Ok boys and gals. I am the actual rider in the video and will once and for all dissolve all speculations and such that to my amazement have come up so far.
We both started slowing down when the light turned orange. The red SUV ended up in the middle of the intersection. Cars seen on the right started turning left, one car actually made it in front of the stalled/frozen driver. The car then proceeded to back up – IN THE LEFT LANE – i was aware about its presence all the time. And yes I was in the 1st with the clutch in as can be seen on video (anyone see the Neutral light?). As some have pointed out, only have I noticed it changing directions a couple of seconds before impact. Yes, a rider with tens of years of experience MAY HAVE been able to sprint to the right (risking clipping the car and being at fault for running a red light into potentially left turning traffic, as the light for the oncoming lane was changing to a left turn go), but given the circumstances… the horn wouldn’t have done squat. Again, we’re talking seconds. Disbelief that the car was going to back into me was up there. I was in the dominant position for my lane (left half of the lane, where cars in the left lane have the best chance of seeing you in their mirror), watching the driver… but again… how often do you guys assume that a car will decide to reverse into your lane from a different one and floor it?
The video ends where it does because there is absolutely nothing exciting happening afterwards. The two occupants get out, we exchange remarks, and then i take the helmet off and turn off the camera. No swearing or yelling. The adrenaline pumping through my system was so high, I was kinda happy to not be under the car. The car was resting on the bike, they had to lift it to get the bike from underneath.
Yes please, all those that could’ve avoided this – I salute you and your superhuman reactions. I’m just human and did the best I could when I realized what was going to happen to get my sorry ass out of the way.

The aftermath… if I can figure out how to post pictures here I will. The driver got a ticket as it is illegal to back out of an intersection (or something thereof) and yes, because they are on a learner’s permit (can only drive supervised), they may have very high insurance premiums. And as far as the bike – it will be looked at by an insurance adjuster on Monday where I will find out what happens next.” – reddit user ‘x_ing‘

Something like that happened to me when I was riding on my CBR. The guy wasn't going as fast as this moron who was backing up. In a panic I forgot where the horn was. I did avoid collision by quickly walking my bike backwards. the guy was very apologetic for doing that after he realized what he just did. I just shook my head and rode off.
