Uh, huh. See??
There was a lot more forces at play than simply *dropping* the Scout onto the front axle housing.

It had to do with some speed, raising the Scout more than a few feet in the air with the suspension completely unloaded, and then dropping the Scout into the face of a jump, which promptly kicked the nose of the Scout straight up in the air while breaking the housing in half, and knocking the top off the jump. :D

..and it still didn't break to where the axle hit the ground. It did SMILE to the crowd though.. also bent the long side axle shaft, broke the carrier, broke the housing, and a bunch of other stuff..
