Super Turbo Fake . . . . . there are so many "tell tales" in that clip it aint funny 
if you look close (on full screen mode) you can see a catch line that stops the ball and if that were real i dont think it would have bounced off the van like it did. looks like foam to me.

Did you use the Bomar Brain for that?
Anybody remember this? Runaway wrecking ball...

Minivan turned over by wrecking ball in New York street stunt
An out-of-control wrecking ball smashes into the side of a passing vehicle, in this amateur footage filmed on the streets of New York.
The power of the ball sends the people carrier spinning through 360 degrees, forcing pedestrians to run for cover.
But any tourists worried that their holidays in Manhattan will be disrupted by stray demolition equipment can rest assured.
Eagle-eyed YouTube viewers spotted other evidence that the crash had been crafted by stunt teams – including a beam thrown up by the collision that may have been used to give the vehicle greater lift.
The fact that the first people on the scene rushed to attend to the wrecking ball rather than check on the state of the passengers was also a heavy hint.
But none of this disturbed some commenters. "I don't care that it's faked, that is still sweet," wrote one. Another added: "It's fake, but a car flip is cool either way!"

Nah. Got one out back. Just threw it on the scale.
Bomar Brain. You really are old, aren't you?

Since steel is not a pure element, wouldn't the weight vary depending upon the composition? :sifone:
If you're talking about carbon and chrome steels, not so much. They only contain fractional percentages of those elements. If it were stainless, the significant amount of nickel and chromium would definitely affect the weight. But since Chromium weighs less and Nickel weighs more, it would pretty much balance out. In short, if a six foot diameter wrecking ball hits your car, whether it was mild steel, CrMo, stainless, D2 tool steel or whatever, you still have pretty much the same problem.
