If your social media feeds are anything like ours, you’ve seen the BeamNG simulators putting cars through unbelievable challenges like jumping over broken bridges and putting braking distances to the test against massive rotating hammers. Someone took these thoroughly entertaining videos to heart and created a real life giant rotating hammer windmill thing to bring these fever dreams to life, and we’re so glad they did.
BeamNG simulations offer hours of harmless entertainment, but when you watch the giant rotating hammers knock the body of a simulated G-Wagen clean off its frame, you wonder what would happen in real life. This video looks like people constructed a straight runway flanked by guardrails to keep these unmanned hunks of junk on the right trajectory before they hit the ramp and sail heroically toward their epic demise.
Obviously there are no drivers inside of these vehicles, the event organizers – doubtlessly a group of mad geniuses whom I would love to meet – likely prepared these cars for their final adventures by ceremoniously dropping a cinderblock on the gas pedal and sending them on their noble expedition without any fragile humans inside. It should go without saying, but we don’t trust you so DON’T TRY THIS AT HOME.
While none of the cars in this video had their bodies liberated from their frames like the ones in the BeamNG simulations, possibly since all the cars were unibody, it’s still thoroughly satisfying to see some CARnage caused by medieval-style giant rotating hammers. I do have a few questions for the organizers of this function. Questions like when is the next event and how do I get tickets?
