Granted this car isn't rally-bred like the WRX, but didn't the Subie engineers deliberately setup the car in such a way to keep suspension travel?
Plus, with suspension based on/related to a WRX, perhaps it would fare alright.

The dealer might have used hydrogen air on 4 tires instead of added-on nitro air

Rally cars have big rear wings to make them more stable in jumps. And yeah, they usually brake a bit before the hump then accelerate on it before it lifts.

I've only gone airborn in my car once. It was in the mountains of Arizona. Fun.
