			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!   Last edited by speeder; 02-16-2005 at 05:49 PM.. | ||

			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
