Video: Stunt car jump breaks world record despite almost disastrous landing
A Chinese racer set a new Guinness record by driving a racing car across
the Heilongjiang River under a temperature of minus 40 degrees Celsius on Sunday.
The racer, Xie Yujun, drove his car along a 300-meter-long, 10-meter-tall track
and leaped over a 40-meter-wide span of the Heilongjiang River in the city of
Heihe, northeast China’s Heilongjiang Province.
In the process, the car deviated from the track due to a sudden strong wind
and landed hard into a cardboard box pile. Yet, Xie soon recovered from the shock
and cheered with the spectators for his success.
In 1997, the well-known Hong Kong racer, Blackie Ko, raced across the Hukou
Fall section of the Yellow River in north China. Now, Xie Yujun, the last pupil of
late Ko, set a world record to commemorate his master.

Free Tibet from the terrible imperialist actions of China's brutal and human-rights-denying government.

130 feet? People are jumping that far for fun here in the US. Maybe the record has something to do with the temperature or frozen river or…who knows. Either way that's a failed jump and MANY others have jumped further than that and landed to drive away. Tanner Foust jumped 332ft in a truck in 2011.
