I may have experienced liftoff once .
there used to be a bridge here on a long straight-away that was like a hump.
I probably hit it at about 70 / 80 and it sounded like I hit the ground as I landed .
if course I Can't say if the tires also left the ground or just the cars Body & Mine.
I just know I shook some of the rust off and only had time to finish swearing at myself after. even though
I saw it coming a fraction of a second before. that one syllable word rhymes with hit was longer then my flight time

They stated intoxicated, but I wonder to what extent the injuries were from the landing. Then again being drunk enough is a lifesaver in a crash.

Brings back memories of Evel Knievel's stunts.
RIP Evel

Not sure who designed that stunt but they clearly didn’t design the landing ramp correctly 🤷🏻‍♂️😁
