Based on many hours experience playing Ivan Stewart's Super Off Road arcade, I'd say he ran out of nitro.

How much speed would it take to get a 5,000lb truck over that jump?

Mojave would have made it.

Well that was a nice Gladiator. Now, not so much.

I never read the hood because I was watching on my phone, but this is why I don't want to add any extra weight to my bed.

Did a little research, drivers were told in the drivers meeting to hit it at 45mph. The problem arouse as some drivers weren't aware it was the gap jump they were warned about as it looked like a regular table top from the drivers seat... until it was too late. There was a bypass if you weren't ready to send it.
