Imitating the advertisement, the owner of the Ford F-150 Raptor broke his back vertebrae
The story revolves around the owner of an account named Caz on Instagram. The owner of a 3rd generation Ford F-150 Raptor tested his 2021 production pickup by taking the car to “jump” at the Virginia International Raceway and also here where the incident happened. out.
Sharing his experience with Jalopnik, Caz shared that he attended an event called Off-Road Revolution with about 50 Raptors of all types and 10 Ram 1500 TRXs participating.
Off-road pickups are tested with jumps starting from near/low to far/high to see how far they can operate. The usual car speed at the start of the air is about 50 mph, but Caz wanted more of a challenge so he made the jump at 60 mph (even more when he wasn’t looking at the speedometer). degree).
The jump of Caz’s Ford F-150 Raptor was recorded by someone else
The result of the jump, with the pickup alone, was quite satisfactory when the landing was quite smooth. However, the fact that all 4 wheels hit the ground at the same time causes the entire force to backfire on the vehicle at the same time, causing injury to the driver.
“My T12 vertebra broke into three pieces,” Caz said. “It was the most painful experience I have ever had in my life, when I immediately drove the car to P and rushed out to try to straighten my back.” He will soon have to undergo vertebral fusion surgery and will need a period of recovery after that.
Meanwhile, the Ford F-150 Raptor has absolutely no injuries. Notably, another car owner attended the event, even though he had observed Caz’s jump and then tried to simulate it again. The person also suffered minor injuries (fractures) and was later taken to hospital but will not require surgery.
Caz’s Ford F-150 Raptor of the 3rd generation was launched early last year.
Caz said he doesn’t intend to blame Ford when the F-150 Raptor did its job. “My body is the weak point”, he happily admitted and reminded other car owners not to do the same dangerous actions because even if the car is unharmed, it is unlikely that their body can withstand it. impact force.
“I used to think the car could break down but never expected to be physically harmed by the jump, now my eyes are open,” Caz admitted.
