400 Foot Plunge in a Minivan

This one's going to leave a mark. Miraculously, all 6 occupants survived!

Must have had a soft landing, or slid down like a tobbogan. 400 ft= might as well have fell out of an airplane. (Almost).

Still, it's impressive I guess. Which brand is it?

EDIT: Read the article. WOW!

It was a Pontiac minivan. I was also surprised to see that they were still able to use Onstar and call for help.

Wow, those people were sure lucky. Especially in a Pontiac Montana. Check out the crash test ratings for the Montana: http://www.hwysafety.org/vehicle_ratings/ce/html/96026.htm
