Driver sets world record by jumping a truck 379 feet

Red Bull truck racer Bryce Menzies launched an off-road Pro 2 truck off a gigantic ramp set up in New Mexico and flew just over 379 feet, obliterating the previous world record by 50 feet. 

The record was set during a practice run, but Menzies hoped to jump even further the next day on a live televised special. He was unfortunately injured during a crash in a later test run and fractured his shoulder.
