I found when I took my carrier up to it's lofty heights the ride was very smooth at least for the driver. Don't forget you sit very low and you can brace your self against the seat back and steering wheel. That suspension also will take a lot of the impact out of the landing. There is also a difference compared to a wheeled vehicle and once you get used to that and learn to move with it, the carrier is very smooth for the most part. Carriers tend to ride with all front to back movements and next to nothing with a side to side movement. Whereas a 4x4 will rock in every direction.

One of the training videos I cam across showed a carrier going airborne and landing, and all I could think about was how badly injured the occupants were.Man, it looked bad! I'm sure most of you have seen it .
