We'd bet that most Dukes of Hazzard fans figured out by age 10 that no 1969 Dodge Charger could take the abuse dished out by the Duke boys. And even if you thought the General Lee could really nail all those jumps, you probably didn't feel so confident about "Crazy" Cooter Davenport's ability to do the same in his 1968 <a href="http://autoblog.com/make/chevrolet">Chevrolet</a> pickup.<br />
<br />
If only everyone had this much common sense. Beyond the jump is video proof that all would-be stunt drivers should befriend a mathematician and a physicist before attempting any stupid jumps. The beginning of the video looks promising enough, as the beat-up old <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/silverado">Silverado</a> approaches the dirt ramp, but it doesn't take long for the epic fail to unfold. Good thing the driver was wearing a helmet, because this does <em>not</em> look like a minor collision. <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2011/02/15/video-wince-inducing-chevy-silverado-jump-attempt/#continued">Hit the jump</a> to watch and cringe for yourself.<br />
