    Interesting! BUT, I bet throwing one of those cups on the ground will cause it to break/shatter into 100's of pieces, making this experiment obsolete.

    I imagine it works on the same principles that let you stand on Coke can without crushing it. I bet you so much as nudged it, the cups would shatter

    probably a replica built on a rusted Fiero frame.
    I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.

    I was looking at autoblog.com and this comment made perfect sence.

    I think it has something to do with preceise weight distribution. It's just like if you fell onto a bed of nails, you'd get hurt bad. if you gently lower your body correctly onto it, the nails will not break skin.
    Since it has larger surface area blocks on top of it and it was lowered onto them with a crane slowly its perfectly possible. I'd hate to see it fall though.

    There was something like that in a TV show here in Germany a couple of years ago, where they put a truck (Mercedes Actros) on 4 beer glasses. It works perfectly, if you lower the car at all four sites at the same time and at very low speed and if the glasses (or cups in this case) are in exactly right positions.
