A lot of auto ads run a disclaimer that the stunt was performed by professionals and viewers shouldn't try this at home. You'd definitely be wise to take that advice with regards to this ad Volvo Trucks featuring action star Jean-Claude Van Damme.

In the ad, Van Damme does a stunt that is truly insane, involving an epic split between two Volvo trucks.

It's not clear whether anyone will buy a Volvo after this — the ad is designed to show off the trucks' Volvo Dynamic Steering — but I for one have newfound respect for JCVD, who, by the way, is 53 years old.
