Ah, memories of Korea.

For our stateside Darwin candidates, I remember seeing a man and woman driving out of the parking lot with a 4' x 8' sheet of plywood "held" by the occupants on the roof. The driver had his right and out the window holding his side, and the passenger was doing the same on the other side.

I forgot the formula, something about forward velocity multiplied by surface area.... All I can tell you is that it probably didn't end well.

I've seen that phenomena before too........people think they can hold onto something that is going to generate a massive amount of lift at even very low speeds. And no, it never ends well.

I've had to come up with some creative solutions to materials handling issues, but I can safely say that nothing has ever hit the road. Gotten close a few times, but never actually happened.
