well if you ever are in a airborne situation, make sure you don't touch your brakes untill after to land and all tires are grounded again, i saw an article in offroad 4wheel drive showing pics of guy's jumping, and pics or really broken parts from guy's panic braking while in the air , landing with the wheels locked up and all that force tears the suspension apart.

 

Yea, don't hit the brakes unless you throw it into neutral real quick or have a manual and put the clutch in. If you could hit the rear brakes only, then hitting the brakes in the air would be useful in trying to level the truck out if you are looking at the sky (conservation of angular momentum). Your wheels would have to be spinning really fast to have much of an effect on such a massive truck. Likewise, hitting the gas could help bring the front end up. But again, I seriously doubt that those actions will have a significant effect since the truck is so massive. It's common practice for dirt bikers.

 

here is a link that i posted a while back with some pics of my buddys truck jumping..

I just love it when stupid people play around on railroad tracks. I've had to peel alot of human and vehicle remains off of the front of locomotives because of things like that.

 

Geez, that's awful. I had no idea.
