Yes, you fall....generally rolling 4 or 5 times end-over-end, smashing the hell out of the cage and axles, then it's obligatory to get out of your car and do a little bow or wave ;D
They have full harnesses/neck protectors/cages/helmets and restraints so severe injuries are few and far between.
This is a pretty bad one - shame it's not from on the hill, you'd be able to get an idea of how steep it is then!

Makes your average sunday afternoon Land Rover club trial (sample dialogue.."Oh, well done Charles, excellent dwiving") look a bit sick...heh heh.

Amazing how tidy that red one looked in the last vid after it rolled, hardly looked any different!

I was thinking that, bloddy strong build on those cars. All four tyres were flat by the time it reached the floor!
RedVictor, can you give me a specific point when he hits the nitrous? I have watched a few times and i cant hear it. I want to know what it sounds like!

i didn't mean in that particular video.I meant when you see them in general.When they used to be on Tv you'd hear the engine revs suddenly go up and the engine note get harder...usually just when they reached the hardest part of the climb...
