Just watching Speed and it is very clear that there were two slip roads the bus could have taken instead of jumping the ramp (which in itself was impossible :cry:

). Not sure how I never noticed before!

Any others to share?

But could the bus have taken the slip roads and stayed above 50MPH?

Haha, I think they were on a shallower ramp than the climb to the jump!

Ever noticed the extra ramp before it jumps?
