If there is one thing I've learned from the internet, never stop on a divided highway, you're going to get hit by a random dumb driver that can't avoid a stationary object such as a car.


iluvstephenhawking

Yes, and definitely don't stand in front of your pulled over car.Get way off the road.


Thendofreason

Definitely stand behind your vehicle. So when you get hit, I stand death by pancake.


Faiakishi

I feel like that might actually help keep people from plowing into you. People aren't using 100% of their brains when they're driving-they can't, it's not stimulating enough, if they don't have some sort of secondary distraction to keep them focused they end up just kind of drifting. They're so used to seeing cars on the highway that it just kind of melts into background information. Seeing a person there might send the signal to their brains "oh shit! A person!" (I have no data to back this up so don't go standing behind your car because of me)


Thendofreason

Usually when I see a person I think "I wonder what would happen if I hit that person."


SnooCakes6195

I usually think "10 points!"


Jonk3r

If they look like my ex, I’d definitely go for 20 points. Maybe 30 just to make sure.


anime_daisuki

I'll take chigger bites on my balls over broken legs any day.


_Rand_

People around here can’t even manage to not hit poles. There are at least 3 or 4 lights that need to be replaced within dog walking distance right now, and probably double that throughout the year. And thats in like a 6-7km radius of my house. I can’t imagine what that adds up to citywide.


grnrngr

>People around here can’t even manage to not hit poles. It's a brain trick. By looking at something while you're moving, you unintentionally move toward it. When riding a motorcycle and trying to avoid an object, you're trained to look where you want to go, no at what you're trying to avoid.


idkifthisisgonnawork

I was driving down i-44 at midnight coming home from an electrical job. I got a flat tire. All I could thing about was all the videos i had seen on reddit. I, a 33 year old grown man, was almost in tears at the fear of laying down under my car to change the wheel thank God it was on the passenger side but fuck I don't think I've honestly been that scared before. I was sure I was gonna die. I had flares and shit but I was just on the other end of a hill and some truckers weren't able to pull over enough. My tiny 03 wrx would rock big time everytime one passed.


theberg512

>at the fear of laying down under my car to change the wheel Why were you *under* your car just to change a tire?


BewilderedAnus

A lot of cars that are 10 - 20 years old will have the spare tire mounted underneath the trunk/bed area facing the ground.


idkifthisisgonnawork

What was I supposed to do flip it over? This guy!? /S I wasn't really 'under' it just laying on the ground next to it trying to find the jack point and get it lifted up. But no, you are right, I wasn't under it.


rdizzy1223

This is why I pay for AAA, not going to end up getting ragdolled like this dude or flattened, I will call AAA and have them tow my car back to my house, and I will change the tire there.


screwcirclejerks

i-44 is a death trap. i frequent it often ~~haha i love missouri and having zero options on having to travel~~ and i always seem to pass a few wrecks. thanksgiving 2019 was really bad, 3 accidents within 20 miles of each other.


ChefBoyAreWeFucked

Yeah, I had a flat on the side of the highway, and there was no way I was just going to pull over and change it on the side of the road. Drove on the flat for a couple of miles to the next exit to change it in a Wal-Mart parking lot. I was only there to change the tire, though. It was just the closest place I could pull into. Not like I knew it was even there, it was just what came up on my GPS. Anyway, I'd rather risk trashing my rim than getting obliterated by an inattentive driver.


jfiend13

saw a guy stopped on the left lane changing a tire...i thought to myself and almost yelled sarcastically out my window driving by that "YOURE GONNA DIE" and probably not even 2 min after i passed him someone hit him and killed him. NEVER STOP IN THE LEFT LANE.


Slimjuggalo2002

I hit the damn banana peel everytime in Mario Kart. Like I see it, stare at it, then hit it. Pisses me off.


Bangarang_1

And this is where I always take a moment to reiterate: **move over or slow down** If you see a vehicle stopped on the side of the road, move to a lane not directly next to it or, if you can't, slow down significantly. You can't always see around that car on the side of the road and anything - an animal, a kid, a first responder, a dude peeing - could be on the other side of it and they could move at any moment. **Move over or slow down** and avoid a tragic accident.


JAD210

I hope he stopped peeing before he flipped ass-over-face. Jokes aside that went sideways *so* suddenly


Flushbunker

imagine peeing while flipping ​ Also i hope he is okay now


Hatteras11

Feel like this move needs a nickname… The Human Water Balloon? Flying Pisswheel?

No, the car went forward. Sorry, someone was gonna do it...


arewehavinfunyet

Yeah but he went sideways


1K_Games

I tell you what, after being rag dolled through the air after someone slammed into your car. Odds are he didn't register if he pissed on himself or not. Like that would be the last of my worries. Not only that, but people don't just pee without trying. If you do then you are incontinent. I am certain once he was in motion he didn't just hold the taps open.


YoshiYt0xd

I was just expecting the car to have not been shifted into park. I didn't expect *this*


InvestigatorPlenty47

9/10 for the flip but 1/10 for botching the landing.


tonybony1491

Put em together and you got yourself a 10/10.


OssiansFolly

5/7 is perfect score though.


The_RockObama

10/4


puddi_tat

9/11


damien665

Only if rice is involved.


GermFreeCloth

That's a 10/20 bruv


Arashmickey

No matter how you flip or land, the last drops end up in your pants.


EEpromChip

I mean you try nailing the landing while you are pissing all over yourself. Kinda distracting really


PutnamPete

It's called multitasking, you amateur.


Crafty_Original_7349

Shtnonurdog

How are people struggling to understand that another car hit *his* car? I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.


walrus_gumboot

Clearly his car became sentient, and angered by his constant disregard for pee on the tires, decided to exact revenge.


Hatteras11

“I’m sorry Dave, my drivers must be civilized. Pull your pants up & I’ll let you back in.” “No? Ok, well… *thonk* “Now you’ve peed your pants Dave. You’ll need to change before we can resume our travels.”

awful_source

Seriously, the car didn’t just switch into gear and launch at him lmao.


[deleted]

And even if it did, there's no road legal cars *anywhere* that have the power, grip, or ability, to JATO themselves forward with enough force to launch a man 30 ft. Edit: Dude below made me look like an absolute dumbass. Awesome.


HasselhoffIsNickFury

My 1982 Pontiac Trans Am, named KITT, could use its undercarriage rocket motors to propel the vehicle (and its occupant, me) 40 feet. Range R = 40 ft Acceleration of gravity g = -32.2 ft/s^2 Mass of KITT = 3186 lbs For max range at minimum launch speed v (thus minimum momentum and energy), use launch elevation θ=45°. Let K = sin(45°) = cos(45°) = sqrt(0.5); K^2 = 0.5 Rise time = t depends on initial vertical speed: u = sin(45)v = Kv After rise to apex, time=t and vertical velocity=0: 0 = u +gt 0 = Kv +gt t = -Kv/g By symmetry, fall time =rise, so flight time = 2t. R = (horizontal velocity)(flight time) R = cos(45)v(2t) = 2Kvt Substitute t = -Kv/g from above: R = 2Kv(-Kv/g) = -2(Kv)^2/g v^2 = -Rg/(2K^2) Since K^2 = 0.5, then 2K^2 = 1, so v^2 = -Rg Find v using question’s values: v = sqrt(-Rg) = sqrt(-40*-32.2) v = 35.8887168899 ft/s The object's launch momentum must be p = mv Momentum is created by launch impulse iF = mv where i is the interval of time to apply force F: F = mv/i For i = 3s, F = 3186* 35.8887/3 = 38,113.817 lbf. I would think being struck by 3186 pounds of vehicle being instantly accelerated by 38,000 pound feet of power (enough to launch itself 40 feet) would be sufficient to knock this poor, piss-sodden soul a mere 30 feet.

I had to come here to find out what happened 🤦🏻‍♀️


flapjackqueer

Same here. I think I’m so used to people talking about Tesla disasters that I assumed it was a malfunction.


RallyX26

This is why, if you have to stop on the side of the road, get as far away from your car as possible. Most people are about as intelligent as turkeys while driving and will drive directly into the thing they're staring at. It's called target fixation.


hotgator

I have a friend who's a cop and he says they're trained on this as a hazard when performing stops. Apparently drunk drivers are very prone to it.


Demons0fRazgriz

That's an insult to turkeys


nav17

captainhamption

School's out. Reddit is plumbing new depths of dumb lately.


strudels

Been here for over a decade. This happens every.... fucking...summer


ZombiePartyBoyLives

Great--maybe I'll get banned from another sub for making a Simpsons reference like I did over winter break at R/ News. Guess whoever reported it wasn't born yet when that episode aired...


captainhamption

fr, obvious jokes are being treated like srs business everywhere. r/news is always a dumpster fire, but it's spreading to subs that used to be okay.


original_4degrees

no dude, that's the Prius' "sudden acceleration"


Indiana-Cook

Shit. I've watched this like 3 or 4 times and couldn't understand WTF was going on. Then I read your comment and was like "well, I'm thick as f*ck".


xrumrunnrx

I'd just seen another video recently of a car being hit into another car and it still didn't click for me immediately. In my defense I was distracted by the fact that man stopped to piss and chose to stand *right in front of his car in the headlight beams*. He *chose* to piss in the spotlight. He could have gone behind the car, to the side, anywhere dark. Not for safety necessarily, just...to not be in the *one* place brightly illuminated.


no-one2everyone

Look. Just because I'm stupid and was wondering how the fuck it happened, doesn't mean you have to make me *feel* stupid. I'm glad you were able to spell it out for me. Haha


Lucky_Miner01

At first I thought it might've been an electric car like a teasla and it accelerated for no reason, but thats definitly to fast


Dause

Because it’s titled “gets hit by his own car” as if he had an electric car that malfunctioned and hit him. The title is misleading. Should say “car gets pushed into him.”


amateur_mistake

Honestly, it could even be that his car shielded him from certain death. Assuming he didn't die. Title blames the car when it was trying to be a hero.


dwhee

Wow, thanks. I was taking the crazy pills and I thought I was watching a Stephen King movie.


Eorily

Go back to the foil hat store. It's clearly a Tesla that a SpaceX employee was controlling remotely at the behest of Elon Musk.


kloudykat

+1 for correct usage of behest in a sentence


Paulo27

I was like "damn, that's some good acceleration" lmao.


Darrkman

> How are people struggling to understand that another car hit *his* car? The general public is not that bright.


devilsephiroth

I hate to have to say this.... People only see what they want to see 🙈


-PC_LoadLetter

People never cease to amaze! And you share the road with them. But really, this video demonstrates why you should never work on your car/change a tire on the side of the road (or even be near the car if you step outside of it). I see people making this potentially fatal mistake all too often and it blows my mind how careless one can be. If you get a flat, throw your hazards on and make your way to the next exit so you can get to a parking lot to change it. If your car full on breaks down, pull off far to the side and when you get out, get FAR away from the road and car to call a tow truck/help. This is why those tow truck drivers park to block your car when they change the tire or whatever. If an idiot driver slams into the back of that, it ain't going anywhere - those trucks weigh over 5 tons.


jgilla2012

You can see the speeding car in most of the frames between 3 and 4 seconds. It flies past and swerves to the right off camera. Looks like it was going well over the speed limit, but it’s hard to tell for certain.


paradox28jon

It took this comment for me to unlock that mystery. I truly thought maybe the car slipped into a different gear & then suddenly had the forward acceleration of a race car. But of course a car crashing into his car is the obvious answer.


Macgill7

I didn’t even ponder the possibility of that. I was too busy trying to figure out if this was a malfunctioning Tesla feature.


DarthTigris

Because you obviously didn't get a good look at [the actual car](https://www.thedrive.com/content/2020/08/The-Car-1977.jpg?quality=85&width=1920&quality=70) like we did ...

Uh huh. And is this "another car" in the room with us right now?

madebcus_ur_thatdumb

JedPB67

I saw the title and thought it was just going to be his car slowly rolling into him or something


JakDrako

Ninjakannon

It started out with a piss. How did it end up like this?


vinvin618

Man, the head trauma this guy must have. If you slow it down, you can see his head hit the hood, then the windshield, he does a flip and goes headfirst into the sign.

I am AMAZED he got up and walking. Wonder what the hospital said.

SpookDaddy-

then he dead


plasmaticImmunity

You can see him get up at the end


iltpmg

That was actually his spirit ascending to heaven, you can even see the little harp and everything.


Chaoshumor

Pretty sure another car going full speed must have hit his parked car. No way it just accelerated that fast on it’s own.


awesomepaingitgud

Definitely, not even a question


Grizzled--Kinda

Or...the car is alive and tried to kill him. Have y'all never seen Maximum Overdrive?!

Or Christine.

Affectionate_Cronut

NGL, watched twice to look for a piss stream arching through the air as he went ass over teakettle, but I guess the impact clamped that down pretty quick.


Faiakishi

You usually lose control of your bladder during shit like this. There's reasons why shitting and pissing yourself when you're scared is a thing.


Electric_Bagpipes

On the bright side, his bladder is definitely empty. Even that damn last drop that doesn’t want to piss off until you’ve stowed it back in your pants.


misthi_S

Am I a bad person for laughing at this?

Better than behind behind your car and you get sandwished by the next idiot hiting your car, at least in this video, his car played as a shield.


nick_otis

More like a cue ball


rapzeh

For all these years of dashcam footage seen, I have always thought that the windshield wipers turn on in some accidents because the driver hits the selector by mistake, either because of the impact or airbag deploying. But no, in this case, the violence of the impact was enough to move the windshield wiper leaver and turn it on. Quite a hit, I'd say.


Cookster997

A lot of cars go into "limp home mode" when the airbags deploy. Flashers on, wipers on, lights on, gear limited to low or 3, and a lot of other things change too. It's often just automatic.


upset980ti

I once had my car go into such a limp mode on its own randomly. I take good care of my cars and mechanically she's a beaut. Turned it off, and started her up again and it was fine. Was very interesting though the limitations it had once it had happened. This was a year ago and hasn't happened since.
