This video might be hard to watch, so if you want an easy start to the middle of your week, move on. But thankfully, the couple aboard this SkyRunner flying car/dune buggy thing survived a completely startling crash.




The video was noticed on Reddit yesterday by CarScoops, and it came baring a simple headline: “Testing a flying car.” The SkyRunner light-sport NI43SR looks less like a car than it is a dune buggy with a propeller and parachute attached.


Apparently, per CarScoops, the pilot and his wife took off just fine, but he failed to gain enough altitude. Possibly, it was a steering issue. Whatever the case, the vehicle went barreling into the side of a building before toppling over onto the ground.

There’s no explanation on YouTube or Reddit about what exactly caused the incident, but, remarkably, the couple survived with serious injuries.

CarScoops reports the vehicles are FAA certified and require a pilot’s license. They start around $139,000.

Hopefully they make a quick recovery.
