Has anyone ever done this?

When I first saw that clip, I was really surprised by how easy it is to completely f*ck up the rear door! I'd imagine that many would assume that the spare wheel acts as a sort of buffer, so they may reverse into things (like a brick wall) at low speeds thinking that their car won't be damaged.

Ever since I saw that, I've been a bit paranoid and now I try to leave a 1-2ft gap lol

The original freelanders were 3 star cars. They were dreadful in accidents. Statistically the safest cars are 1) Defender 6)Discovery 3 7)The Range Rover. The only non 4x4 in the top ten is the jaguar s type.
