This is a pretty weak argument. No, obviously it is not a Baja truck from the factory.

But what it certainly isn't is built to take a jump at twice that jump's intended speed, at full throttle, and pancake land with a force hard enough to blow out the tires.

If you took a half million dollar built truck and push it far beyond it's intended purpose, no matter how well it is built, the results will be catastrophic. Any professional driver who has done it will probably tell you the same. They do destroy hundreds of professionally built trucks a year while racing by pushing too hard you know? If you put these two rocket surgeons in a built Baja truck, they would destroy it too, only that time they would probably kill themselves as well.

The video is funny because the driver is an idiot, not because the truck failed to do what it is supposed to do. Nobody builds stupid-proof.
