saying due to hard braking


If you watch the video closely, you can see the front of the car dip forward, and then the cars starts bouncing. It looks to me like he accelerated hard and then either heard something, or felt something go wrong.

or, being on the street, he just decided to slow down quickly.
maybe brakes weren't adjusted well.

RE re re re watched it and agree other than shaft.
Possibly a bit of everyone's comments.
Was accelerating and something broke loose. Obviously felt or heard it. Hence the nose dive. Hit the brakes hard and the reverse torque on the rear busted it off the rest of the way. Definitely the bouncing was from the tires (tyres for the "proper" countries. Lol) contact with body but did not cause the initial nose dive.
