I was watching this movie The Transporter where Jason Statham fights a bad guy in a lorry, while it´s still moving. The hero of the movie, that´ll be Jason, kicks the baddie out from the lorry, but the baddie manages to get hold on the passanger side door of the lorry. But then the door gets loose and falls on to the tarmac at a high speed. Despite the fall the baddie holds on to the door and keeps on going towards a ledge, where he plunges to his death.
The baddie slides on the door quite a long time. So i´m just wondering that is it possible to slide on a lorry door such a long time, and that would the baddie fly as long and controlled on the door as it´s shown in the movie.

Watch the fight scene it´s quite at the end of the movie.
It would be cool if you would test this maybe on the show. Just a thought

P.S: Sorry for my bad english i´m from Finland.
