I have the same problem at work. I don't have Quicktime installed here so I
can't view my own movies, and since I don't have admin access on this
workstation, I can't install Quicktime :/
It's not exactly realistic, as the prototypical Freefal ride rerights the car
in a different and more complicated manner. There would be many a lawsuit with
the G-forces on this ride at the brake and the flip'n'drop. Luckily, minifigs
don't have internal organs to jar and spines to fracture :)
Glad you enjoyed it.
Adrian
