Oh, wow. Looks like the front of the RV hit something in the air (above the camera view) right in the passenger compartment. Having something come up through the floor like that is probably not an impact the RV's designers built any safety for (ie: airbag triggers).
Another couple seconds and the RV would have hit the water instead of the ferry. The way it was coming down - back end first - just might have made the impact survivable. Especially this close to shore at a ferry terminal where there is likely rescue equipment readily available.
Setting the tragedy & sadness aside... I would not have expected an RV to jump so well in anything outside a Hollywood movie. Ramp angle, vehicle speed, vehicle weight distribution, all lined up to give it a stunt-driver worthy flight.
I wonder if there is enough of the RV left to perform an investigation? The only thing obvious is the RV failed to stop. And while the most likely cause is failed brakes, the reality is we don't know. IIRC, there was one survivor. They may have insight in to what happened. If anyone stumbles across an update, please share it here.
