Physics Video: A Cement Truck And A Sharp Incline Do Not Mix


Physics Video: A Cement Truck And A Sharp Incline Do Not Mix

“I fought the law, and the law won”, the lyrics say. And when the law is gravity, you better believe that law was destined to win in the first place. Unless you have a parachute on your back, you’re a Swiss dude with a jet suit, or you’re a World War II pilot with the most unbelievable luck, gravity will not only win but kick your ass for trying to test it.

This video comes to us from Sochi, Russia. This was filmed during the buildup before the 2014 Winter Olympics, as infrastructure and buildings had to go up to handle the influx of traffic that the Games would bring. This poor cement truck found out that having a heavy load hanging at the back doesn’t help matters when you’re light in the front and trying to climb a mountain with a granny gear. We’re pretty sure that the driver wasn’t seen during the Olympics. No idea if he has been seen since then, either.

    If one watches any significant number of automotive “what the hell where they thinking!?!?” videos , the location of a large number of them becomes a common factor.

    I had NO doubt where this video came from when I saw the lead-in to the story…
