I thought this was quite impressive. Looks to be almost jacking the front of the car up.
Hope the rider was ok though!

Mine went into the side of a car at 20 mph and snapped the forks. Wheel was still true and I've raced on it since the accident. It's only sheer loads that buckle wheels. That's an impressive bump, but I guess there is nothing structural (steel) under the plastic.

Think about it this way, a wheel easily takes the weight of a 100kg rider, probably double or several times that over undulations/potholes.
Imagine hitting a car with a 23mm wide bar with 200-300kg of force (for the pedants (1962N-2943N).
looking at his/her gearing they were going at a fair old lick.....bet that got their heart rate up a notch or two whilst bombing along.
Some interesting points there guys.
The humble spoked wheel is an amazing bit of design when you think about it.
Yeah, bet that did get the riders hear going.
Not the ideal bike stand for sure!
