The man and woman wave at the camera. L/S of the two cars travelling down the metal structure at great speed and crashing into each other at the bottom. The man's car does a somersault. “The slow-motion camera tells its own tale of the event.“ The second car travels straight forward at the bottom of the jump whereas the first car does several somersaults before it lands.
