You know, they had spent three months, I'm saying R&Ding that and, you know, figuring out the physics of it all.

Again, it's physics. So he's going, let's say, 80 miles an hour. He slides the car at a 90-degree angle, and the cannon is actually placed where the passenger seat is. And there's a pole that gets shoved into the ground. Explain what a cannon is. A cannon is a pneumatic press. So it's got a lot of compressed air that's sitting in the trunk of the car, and it shoves a metal pole down.

Into the ground. It's in a cylinder that's into the ground. And that basically stops the car in its tracks and flips it to where the car is. It's like a lot of catapults. Okay? Yeah. So as the car slides and he hits the button for that cannon and the pole gets shoved into the ground, the car flips. But it still has the speed, the directional speed of the 80 miles an hour.

So now it's flipping and traveling 80 miles an hour. And, you know, they were hoping that obviously it would be barrel rolling. But yeah, it's like a catapult inside your car that you press the button and it stops you in your tracks and flips it.

So inside the car, we build a cage. And the cage is built with steel pipe and welding. And it's designed to create just a box that protects the driver. And then the driver is in what we call a suspension harness. So they're saving their back. So they're really almost suspended above the seat. And there's a bungee system that's allowing them to take the shock off.

And then they're in a harness that's neck restraints. And there's a lot of things that's just built in to protect the driver. I'm not going to say it's foolproof, but that protection of the driver just gets better and better every year with more innovation and more stuff that's coming from the racing world.

And there's just a legacy of that stunt and information and how it's done that gets passed down generation to generation.
