Unstoppable trucks (real video)

Unlike the toy MB truck stuck in the mud check this out.
This is the second Russian video showing trucks doing things I'd consider impossible I've seen recently. These trucks are amazing

Unbelievable, not long, although the audio sucks

The only obstacle that will stop them is their own stupidity. Those trucks were loaded way too high and much too far aft to even consider forging a river with a very uncertain bottom condition. They were within an inch of going over on the right side. The second truck was effectively weightless on the front axle.

You saw one video where they were successful. Where's the other 9 videos of the truck laying on its side in the river?

Everybody enjoys watching someone tempt fate and beat it.

However, the data suggests that failure is far more common when poor judgment is utilized.
