It looks like fun but this might be one of the reasons they don't want these to be street legal in the USA.Your face will be wearing the bumper of the vehicle in front of you instead of the plastic bumper on the truck. I wonder if the newer models with the forward set axles will do this

lzpoor - Are you under the impression that the laws of physics don't apply in Japan (and other markets where minitrucks are legal?) This was performed from low speed (less than 30 MPH, right Nate?) and he pumped the brakes a few times to get it rocking. If you bury the pedal on the floor, the tires lock up and you skid, just like any other vehicle without ABS.

Here is an interesting read on Golf Carts. I still don't aggree with the rational. They certainly wouldn't do any better in a crash test.
