Catching air in a 40's Cj

I saw this in a book about Patton. I can't imagine the beating that took when it landed. Or the beating that guy took.

I just realized I titled it as a Cj and I know it says early version of jeep.

Pictures like that are fairly common. it must have been part of training or something. There are several videos of the old military jeeps doing just what the guy in the above picture is doing. Makes my back ache just looking at those picture.

It's a good thing the guy in the middle video was not wearing a seat belt. :O

That's the kind of damage I was thinking of. Of course those were much lighter at 2200 pounds I think?
