I know some of you might have seen the one where a few jeeps were constantly bouncing over a "wavy test surface" (its at 0:34 in the video) but I never knew there were quite more to that as per this longer version I noticed this morning now:

I have to say the first several seconds are too crazy for me, I'm not so sure my spine would *ever* like just one single jump in the first place!! but uhh yeah talk about very hard test of these leaf springs vs basic steel framed seat vs not so invincible human bones?!

even then 1:15 is a bit amusing for me to watch for some reason, I have read a little bit about gliders being used to make 'stealth' drops but I never ever knew I'll see a video of a jeep literally driving out of a larger glider itself hm?

p.s there is even the amphibious jeep in this video too if you want to look for that
