Speed humps

[cinman]

I do flying lessons at Biggin Hill, which has b*stard speed humps all the way round the airfield. They "look" too big to drive over without something scraping ... can I just ask: what's the worst that could happen if it bottom's out? eg. is it chassis lengths that'll ground first and that may be able to take a slight scrape, or will it be more delicate gear? Of course, if it scrapes, I won't go again in the Cerbie, but just wanted to weigh up the risks of a scrape first time round?

The bumps are oval ones, whole road width, kind of semi-circular profile if looking at them end-on. They already have scratch marks on top of them which would suggest I'm not the only one to have had this problem?

Well thats the first time i've heard anyone use Bernoullis principles here?

Cool - I tried it this morning and it does indeed clear them - brilliant!! I'm not flying again until tomorrow evening (Fri 6:30pm) so I'll keep an eye out
