xoxoxoo:eek:

at first I was amazed, but the more I watch it, the more it seems fake......but to answer your questions, yes, judging by that video (whether it is legit or not), those motherfuckers can certainly fly, he flat out catapaulted into the air

One of these days deer..... Bam! straight to the moon! :lol:

a fiberglass body would at least be damaged????

xoxoxoo

Definately. A deer hit my girlfriend's car once (yes I mean that, he ran into her side). Broke one of the back windows and left a very large dent in the body. And that was to a metal body.


That, and the angle the deer flew just doesn't look right to me.

The velocity is all wrong. That deer is totally defying physics. A deer hit by a car is accelerated forward in the direction the car is traveling, as well as (typically) deflected either to the left or right. Since the car in this case is essentially a wedge, the deer would most likely have a distinct upward velocity as well, although exactly how much of one I can't say. This deer was primarily launched in an upward direction, with a deflection of approximately 7-10 degrees to the right (from our perspective, of course) and with no observable forward or backward component. Also, the deer ought to exhibit a parabolic trajectory, due to the effects of gravity. The observed trajectory appears to be more or less linear and at the speed the deer was traveling would only be feasible in a zero gravity environment, where the car would be unable to accelerate without something holding it onto the track.

...But with that said, I guess we all now know that if we're ever asked this question, the correct answer would have to be 'it depends on how hard you hit em.'

Amazing response. This had me mezmerised for about half an hour contemplating the world!
