Watch a car impossibly zipline across a river

Where we’re going, we don’t need roads… we need a zipline, thought these intrepid Russians. Because, in order to cross a violent river without a bridge nearby, crazy Russians thought it would be smart to strap their car to a zipline and let it fly by to the other side. I guess.

I don’t know if I don’t believe this because the idea is so preposterous and impossible and ridiculous, or if I do believe this because Russia is so notoriously whacky when it comes to risk-taking—but I do know that a ziplining car would be one hell of a joy ride. It looks like it’s flying!
