When driving a tank just isn't fun enough!

Seen quite a few pictures like that. One was of an M1 Bradley (Don't know what that is in the picture. It said it under the caption thats the only way I know) going over a hillside at top speed and left a big ass dirt cloud when he landed. It looked pretty cool.

I mean, that's gotta be cool and all, but what about the landing? A few of my friends who were in a tank brigade in the army told me some stories about how they'd fuck with the gunner. The gunner during night missions would wear night vision goggles when looking in the scope. While the gunner was looking through the scope, the driver would randomly drive off into a ditch by the side of the road throwing the gun into what appeared to him, a straight, fall to the death. Also, keep in mind, there's very little if any padding in tanks.....ouch....

decoy, I have to disagree with you. It's very easy with some of the "newer" tanks that have top speeds around 65-70 mp/h after they've been stripped of some armor and ammunitions. I used to live next to Ft. Knox, KY which is the central hub of the U.S. Army's tank and armor divisions. Trust me, it's possible.

Oh yeah, it is. Haven't you ever watched some of those tank shows on the Discovery Channel or on the Military Channel? I've seen it happen with Bradleys and Challengers.
