When yer in a hurry to get home with the fresh case of cold beer any delay is too much delay.

If you slow that down it looks like he's talking on a phone.

I'm betting they were on the phone. It looked like they may have let off the gas when they hit the arm, but didn't hit the brakes until after the jump. I'm betting the smashed windshield woke 'em up.

The hood is jacked up before they hit the gate and it looks like the gate hit on the windshield first.
Me thinks not their first rodeo or they were trying to put some distance between themselves and a prior incident.

Looks like he's taking a big sip of beer. Or something harder.
