50ft Scimitar Jump and Flip

On Basrah yesterday I was gunning for a scimitar on Basrah and we headed over to the east island. We shot down one of the wire fences blocking an alleyway and attempted to proceed down the aisle. However, _something_ caught either the ground or the wall edge and bounced us probably 50ft (at least 35) up in the air with a perfect flip. We landed on the hull, couldn't escape, and promptly burned to death. It might still be on the TacticalGamer battlerecorder (I'll try to find it but don't hope for much), but I didn't even think to grab a screenshot. I don't expect it to be very reproducable given the lack of details I have, but just a heads up to all the armor people out there.

that reminds me of a round in fools map.
I was driving the support truck, jsut hit the scimitar grid thing in the back, the truck flyed up like 40-50fts and then came down.
Lol it was hilarious, and we couldn't stop laughing.

destroyable fences on Basra causes cars, tanks and APCs to jump in the air some of the time.

I hopped ontop of a building with a warrior doing that once.

even lightly touching the scimitar with a jeep will throw you 10 feet into the air
