I have just read a variant on that in the news.
woman held onto a wiperblade and a mirror of the minivan her husband was driving. while being splayed across the hood.
he was reported at going about 100 mph.
there are at least 2 calls to 911 on this one.
dont know if he swerved or not. but the dude is up for attempted murder of his wife.

while at university, we played a game called roof drive(lots of alcohol needed for this one). Quite simply a mate drives the car and at 120km/h you get out onto the roof and hang on for dear life while the driver swerves wildly through the city streets doing some corners at 80km per hour. You need to do the test again, ’cause it is actually plausible.

Hello, guys. I have some remarks towards a man on the roof of the car. I have noticed that you made a test using a THICK PROTECTIVE GLOVES, which reduces the grip VERY MUCH. For example, you can’t climb a cliff even with the thin gloves, but you can do it easily without them. Of course it’s the matter of how strong is your fingers, but I believe that it could be done.

Umpity squat-

That is because .22 shells are rimfire cartridges, not center fire. You can strike the rim of the shell anywhere to get it to ignite. Center-fire cartridges can only be struck it the very center to have the primer ignited.

Angela, the reason the bullet fires is because the metal pin is what hits the center of the shell, igniting the propellant. It could be plausible I believe, but only if the shell of the bullet hit the metal in the dryer just right.
