Russian stuntman jumps through bus
Yes, through – not over.
Rostov-on-Don based stuntman, blogger and insane daredevil Yevgeny Chebotarev has come up with a novel stunt: jumping through the windshield of a moving bus, all the way down the aisle and out the back window within a single bound. Or, if you prefer the Earth as your reference frame, the bus drove all around him. Chebotarev lay on his stomach on a wooden platform about windshield high as the bus drove towards him at about 65mph. From the perspective of the passengers inside the bus (a group of volunteers who must really enjoy being showered by broken glass and high velocity stuntmen), Chebotarev raced past them in comically quick fashion. From the perspective of outside the bus, the stunt was even more mental, and showed Chebotarev being run over, but in a very stylish way.

NGL, this is RAD!
It's simple maths....
velocity - to get in one end, and out the other = time inside the bus.
Vs gravity = 9.8 meters per second squared..... Or the time he leaves the platform and starts dropping.
It has to be done fairly precisely - but they were wise to remove the back door of the bus and to have a long, level, flat, wooden panel floor, and a big wide and high exit at the back.
Watching it on a stop frame basis was a better way to understand it all...
Essentially the big hit was the drop in height from the platform onto the bitumen......
Ouch - Next time a few thick pads to land on would be better....
But well done.
