Yep, here's Mary King doing it...

(and plenty of others if you scroll down and look at all the pictures).

That as pictured wouldn't bother me but jumping cars would - as someone mentioned, I'd be panicking about legs going through glass. So no thank you. [Mind you, if you'd put 13-year-old me on a horse capable of it, you might have got a different answer...]
 
That will not happen at Badminton any more as Mitsubishi is no longer title sponsor.
Could anyone provide a link to the original video in the opening post pretty please.

I have watched the whole of this video and really dont understand why they are jumping the cars, seems stupidly reckless and it wouldnt even make a good photo!

Unfortunately that’s unavailable where I am currently situated. In Australia there are regulations against that. Could you send me a video of it or a download or something?
 
Nathan, the whole point of my comment saying that the video had been taken down is that this is a 6 year old thread, and the video no longer exists on youtube, you only get even the front cover shot when you post on here. It has nothing to do with where you are situated.
 
I remember once being at a show and a horse got out of hand in the ring and jumped the rope and a car parked at the ringside :O
