There are a ton of ways that people across all 50 states celebrate the Fourth of July, but this one in Alaska may just take the dang cake! Watch:
NEW: Glacier View, Alaska celebrated the Fourth of July by launching cars off a cliff while blasting "God Bless the U.S.A."

The event is an annual tradition that started in 2005 with tickets now costing $20.
Most years, about 6 vehicles are launched off the cliff however… pic.twitter.com/oMMHZYq4QL
Collin's post reads in full as such:
NEW: Glacier View, Alaska celebrated the Fourth of July by launching cars off a cliff while blasting "God Bless the U.S.A." The event is an annual tradition that started in 2005 with tickets now costing $20. Most years, about 6 vehicles are launched off the cliff however reports say they had about a dozen for this year's celebration. Vehicles take off from one of two runways: One has a monorail and the other is freewheeling. Most cars are launched with a piece of wood wedged against the gas pedal. Epic.
Not gonna lie, this writer is all in for that kind of show, and we aren't alone!
This is how to celebrate!!! I may have to hit this up one year. Legit.

We're only slightly laughing when we say that's not a terrible idea!
Wow… that’s wild. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

No explosions?!?

Does Hollywood LIE to us when they make EVERY CAR EXPLODE when it falls a few feet down a steep drop?!?
Say it ain't so!!!
Somewhat disappointed. Hollywood has always promised us explosions! Next year, we're getting Michael Bay involved.
Murica!

You just enjoy them.🙏🇺🇸
Exactly. Just hush up and enjoy the show.
They should launch a Tesla truck off to see if it survives.

Speaking of Tesla trucks ...
I think this guy celebrated the Fourth of July best by launching fireworks off the back of a cybertruck. pic.twitter.com/wOU8ldMjWw

Those trucks may be ugly as sin, but that is a beautiful sight to behold.

And I thought the illegal fireworks on my block were cool. https://t.co/0zWqJmUBWJ

You may be cool, but you're definitely not 'launch cars off a cliff blasting patriotic music' cool. Just sayin'.
Every male will probably watch this atleast six times. Just because. https://t.co/97TwIJQOfw
