Many people might remember the old American Tourister luggage commercials. In them, the designer luggage was pitted against a gorilla to demonstrate the product’s durability. In an impromptu version of product durability testing, mountain goats used a car roof and luggage carrier as a jungle gym. Michael Ryno Photography captured the footage while the vehicle owner was hiking Tour de Abyss.
Remarkably, there were hoof prints all over the Subaru and the Yakima luggage box on top, but neither had damage. The vehicle belongs to TikTok user Superglamp, who asked anyone who saw the mountain goats on her car to provide any available footage. Several followers told Superglamp they had seen a video on Instagram and pointed her toward Michael Ryno‘s page. The power of social media connected the photographer and the Subaru owner, and that’s why we’re here.
The video was already viral on Michael’s Instagram and aired on 9News Denver. Michael had been filming a herd of goats in the area when he noticed the goats exploring the car. The mountain goats had quite the party on the car, bouncing around and using the luggage box like a trampoline. Many speculated that the video would make a great insurance commercial. When she posted the video, Superglamp tagged Subaru of America, Inc. and Yakimaracks. What a great testimony to overall product durability!
