Have you ever been airborne in a car? What happened?

In an unexpected turn of events, I found myself airborne in a car, a situation I never imagined I'd be in. The car suddenly hit a bump on the road at high speed, sending it off the ground for a few terrifying seconds. As the car landed, I experienced a mix of shock, fear, and surprise. Luckily, the car didn't flip, and both the vehicle and I were left remarkably unscathed. This incident served as a stark reminder of the importance of careful and attentive driving.
