Watch a group of crazy Russians zip-lining their car over a river

Here's something you don't see everyday: When it comes to Russian videos spreading virally, it usually involves some form of dashcam. This one, however, is circulating the Internet because of something entirely different. Yes, a group of crazy Russians decided the easiest way to cross a raging river was to zip-line it. In their car. Because of course they did.

The story being told is that the group were driving when they encountered an inconvenient road block—the Siberian river. Rather than turn back, they figured the most logical play was to attach the car to a zip-line and slide across. Of course, many are claiming foul play, stating that this was a prearranged stunt; after all, how do you build something like this on the fly?
