    Barbaric & Sickening

    Yep. It's an old trick where on one side of the vehicle there are heavy weights such that the weight of the vehicle is almost entirely carried by the tyres only on that side of the vehicle. I think Penn and Teller did a similar demonstration once where they ran over Teller with a large truck...
