What I noticed in the Cliff tumble video

I believe that is just the default ground texture when it is hitting the rock.

You can see that when it hits grass it sends brown dust/debris regardless of which part of the car hits.

 

How many cars have you thrown down cliffs exactly? The armchair physics community is starting to annoy me. Lets see, at high speed is bodywork automatically torn off a car that scrapes along the ground?



it looks to me like that boot lid and the rear bumper did fairly well. Perhaps car parts are usually bolted onto there rather than attached with blue-tac. Maybe it isn't a rule in physics that things get torn apart at high speeds because friction is influenced by more factors than mere speed such as downforce, the material itself, surface finishes, heat, deformation of the material. Perhaps the vehicle behaved how it did because it should have?

 

that's a fully caged car. I don't know why but i felt like pointing that out

 

Lol, I feel like that was the best case scenario for how that guy could have crashed going 225 mph
