No way. Five hundred yards minimum as the crow flies from asphalt.

Good deal Tim, a real straight shooter...
I kinda was hoping it would stay buried. 
Man that's driving in London! 
20 yrs ago I was driving to Florida with my then wife and new born son at about 3 am just outside of Maryland and at about 80mph we round a bend and in the middle of my lane there was a tractor tire and rim... I cut that wheel so hard I thought we were gonna roll the blazer. Me and a couple of truckers pushed it off the road so no one else would get hurt.

Dallas rush hour is more like 7mph. If I dropped the grill in that I would have just got out and picked it up. it was however, Saturday afternoon and 70mph. At first I thought I was about to lose the motor, when I saw a trail of what I thought was black smoke. By the time I realized the lid had blown open it was too late.
Probably a good 25 years ago I was behind a pickup truck doing bout 45 or so, in the back of the pickup was a golden lab, peering over one side of the bed then over the other side, truck hit a bump and this poor dog hit the pavement, bouncing and Rolling, we both stopped and before I could open my door to check Fido out, the lab jumped up and ran back to the truck......the dogs owner was like, he does that all the time, no worries.
That’s phuched!
I would never do that to a dog...... then again it’s a golden. The pollocks of the dog world.
Great thread! I too either don't remember it or never saw it in the first place. You're a good man Timo! 
So, here's my own story of stuff flying out the back of the vehicle. Years ago, when it was not only acceptable, indeed it was encouraged, to have several drinks before loading up your friends in the back of a pick-up truck for a "spirited" rip around small town, Canada. This was the days when most pick-up trucks did not have the"crew cab" option. So three of us in the front cab and the others - Sneaky Pete, Shorty, Frenchie LaRonge, Ruth, Cheryl, Ricky and Scratcher would all jump in the box for the ensuing ride. The ride would typically be a little rough but the "g-out" and subsequent launch bump driving by Old Man Johnson's cabin was really nasty. So this one day, emboldened by a little excessive drinking, we hit the O.M.J. Launch with a pretty decent head of speed. Ruth went flying out the back of the box. Me being the prick I was, drove on Ruthlessly. God rest your soul Ruth. We hardly knew ya.

Gosh, I once watched a small pack fly off the back of an un-marked sedan (kind of heavy). Pulled over grabed it, and made chase, couldn’t catch the guy. Made it home, opened it up to an FBI guys gun, wallet, badge, and all his crudentials and credit cards. Called his office, no answer, called his cell phone, he answered. I asked, hey buddy, are you missing something? He was like um, yah... So I told him what happened and where I lived, and he was their in 20minutes. Picked up his bag, we shot the breeze and he took off. Couple hours later he showed with two cases of beer. A week later I got a letter from him on FBI letterhead about the integrity of my actions. Others could have been very unscrupulous about what they would have done.
