How did that, at any point in time, seem like it was going to work? Wonder how many bones were broken in that moment of brilliance...

It would have worked if the guy on the bike and the guy driving had reduced their speed. Their combined speed added to much momentum to the bike once it left the ramp.
Math...they didn't do any of it.

"The guy in the video is Colin Winkleman, a professional BMX rider who once set a Guinness World Record by jumping over 13 Ford Explorers on a bike. In 2004, fellow rider/daredevil Travis Pastrana apparently held a contest at his house to see who could film the craziest jump. Colin's attempt was to ride up a ramp attached to the front of a van that was moving toward him. He hit the ramp too fast and ended up falling nearly 20 feet on to the pavement.
—is that the crash would destroy Winkleman's life. He reportedly broke and dislocated both his ankles, broke his wrist, one of his lower legs, and cracked a vertebra in his neck. After a year of rehabilitation, he was still unable to ride competively or even walk without a limp. The resulting depression over the loss of his craft apparently led Winkleman to commit suicide in August 2005."

Brings back memories right there. I used to ride a lot and had a S.O.B. (his signature bike from DK) for a while.

Colin actually committed suicide in no small part due to the injuries sustained from this video.

R.I.P.
