rule question on scoring above overpass

We also have a " big daddy" hand riveter. In my estimation one could have assembled the George Washington bridge with it. - DonRotolo [more]

I do not believe that you will score if you are touching the ball while hurdling. The reason is that 2 points are scored because the ball passes the line with a 6 point bonus for being over the bar. Since the ball was being touched while crossing the line, there would be no point for crossing the line and and as such no bonus points either.
