Flying Mattress Becomes Car Airbrake

You know how the Bugatti Veyron’s back wing lifts up generating as much braking force as a normal car would have? Well that thing is only the size of a big pillow compared to the mattress this guy is carrying on the roof of his SUV.
The video comes from the land of vodka and blonde mail order brides - Russia. For a normal car, transporting a mattress is a hard job, especially if it’s a supermini, but for an SUV with a roof rack it should be a piece of cake.

However, this driver forgot to fully secure the thing and it’s flying through the air like a big kite. This not only adds a lot to your fuel consumption, but might also make the mattress smell like road smog.
