HAHHA… and mythbusters said it wasnt possible…

[/quote]

the mythbusters experiment was also very different then what happened here

just the weight of the mythbusters vehical in motion could snap the cable they used. this car did a full launch on slicks … thats a HELL of alot more energy that this suspension has to absorb (instantly too mind you)

I suppose, but it looks like it just fell off… I dont know, there was no drama, just… WHAM… Not even any crunching or ripping sounds, kinda disappointing.
