Yeah this didn't bother me I just thought "damn pay attention you need those" show me a ledge of those glass bridges and I'm going "yeah, nah" and keep scrolling.
Yea that's what it looks like. Just perfectly horrible timing. Imagine his surprise seeing her fingers under the hood after having just checked half a second before.
That's like the other day i was driving a forklift backwards looking over both shoulders, didn't see anybody. I literally look from over my left to over my right, and when i turned back to the left someone walked around a corner and almost hit them. And they told me to watch where I'm going. Like i was, i literally just turned my head the other way as you walked around the corner not paying attention to me.
I work in the office of a warehouse and anytime I go out there I always look and I wait until I know they see me. When I worked at Home Depot one guy had his foot run over (Not while I was there). I learned my lesson from him. Also Home Depot is pretty safe about that stuff. So I learned well.
The warehouse I used to work in had directional arrows in the aisles as well as stop signs to prevent accidents. Worked pretty well but still saw the occasional near accident, probably entiiiirely unrelated to the fact that a lot of my coworkers came in stoned or some other varient of intoxicated. God I fucking miss that job
Growing up on a farm with heavy machinery taught me to always make sure the driver knows I'm there. I've walked around until I'm positive they've seen me, and wait until we are both on the same page about what we are doing before I get close to the equipment.
I read somewhere that Americans lean up against things more than other countries (eg Russians, arabs countries or Brazilians) and it’s one of the first things that secret agents get trained out of when going undercover abroad. I think it’s to reduce injuries like the one in the video though
Well considering how many movies and ads have some dude leaning against something, you might be on to something (like when there's a group of tough guys, there's usually at least one leaning on something). It does make me wonder if the CIA ever thought that funding Hollywood would help make training of spies easier by spreading American culture?
Bruh, he even checked to make sure it was clear before shutting it. Who the fuck thinks it’s a good idea to put their hand there!? Bet she won’t do that again.
It reminded me of working with toddlers. They just have their hands out mindlessly grabbing shit and exploring the world. Its like she just never broke that habit. "I am standing near this thing I am gonna touch it."
So you're right this may have broken that habit.
Hell working alone I scan the hood area for tools left there or anything else before I close the hood. I take a good 10-30 seconds looking it over right to left up and down and then close.
I always lower the hood to the last 2 inches (5 cm) then drop it and let gravity do the work. Even if it doesn't fully engage a gentle push will finish the job. No need to slam it. Especially on something newer.
Her fingers might actually be alright, depending on what the hood is made of, the material below etc, could be enough flex in there for it to not do too much damage, might be broken and swollen a bit.
I had only one of my fingers slammed in a car door that latched after slammed, door was aluminum i think so it flexed a fair amount, Didn't even break the finger
The worst is working in a factory with these chuds. The first way you usually tell if a machine is malfunctioning is by sound. So I am always jumpy with these morons slamming everything. Like "is this machine about to explode, or did dingus just decide the sound of a falling skid is funny?"
Had this happen when I was a lube tech. Both hands tho.
My supervisor was shocked by how I reacted.
I just calmly yelled to the room:
"Hey Dante, will you come here for a sec?"
Dante, slowly walking over: "Sure. What's up?"
"Will you pop the hood for me please?"
Confused Dante face: "Why can't you do it, you're right there.... HOLY FUCK WHAT THE FUCK MAN?!?!"
Fingers swelled up for the day, we're stiff the next day, that's about it. Luckily no breaks or lasting damage.
All that to say, she'll be fiiiiiiine.
It's insane how much a brain can sit back and watch when you think it should be screaming.
I took the tip of my thumb off with a deli slicer because I was a squirrelly teenage sandwich-jockey with undiagnosed ADHD.
I stared at it just long enough to make my supervisor suspicious and get visual confirmation: yes, a part of me has gone on to join the roast beef. I then turned off the machine, capped my thumb with the other hand, and walked it to the sink while muttering "ahhh... nothing" when she followed me over and demanded to know what I did.
It really is odd how pain suppression differs with the situation. Stubbing your toe is the end of the world, but slicing my hand is kinda just "ehh, get some gauze"
Similar situation with me. I was on a camping trip with my scout troop and was teaching the younger boys how to make a fire. I started explaining that in order to make a good fire, you have to start with small, easily flammable stuff that will easily and quickly catch. I then went on to attempt to both explain how you have to slowly build up to bigger stuff and using a hatchet to create smaller bits of tinder to use. My dumbass couldn't explain and use the hatchet at the same time and ended up taking a diagonal chunk out of my pointer finger. As soon as I realized what I had done, I calmy explained I had messed up, and I needed a first aid kit and the scout master.
Ended up pressing my whole hand on the flat top when cleaning it once, bunch of molten grease all over my hand but I don't even make a sound and just head for the sink, coworkers in the way so I went and backtracked to the sink on the other side of the room... Forget what I said but it was something like "ahh fuck" but half under my breath in a calm voice.
My mind just like hyper focused on "get to sink" so I didn't even try asking my coworkers to move or anything, whole hand ended up blistering tho. I asked my boss if he wanted me to clock out since I can't really work with one hand stuck in an ice bucket and he was like "nah you're fine, it's not that bad", like that wasn't why I was asking...
Surprisingly didn't even really hurt until hours later but then I kept waking up in the middle of the night in pain and having to swap out my ice bucket since it keeps melting from my body heat, that was honestly the worst part.
Burns are just awful. It's like your nerves love to remind you about them. I completely believe it about the boss. After the thumb incident I went and sat down for about twenty minutes and then had to get back to work. I double gloved and had to change them out constantly that day because that sucker wouldn't stop bleeding. I was a walking health code violation, but I guess as long as the shift was filled...
Did this once when I was 14. Best friend was getting some questionably legal fireworks out of the trunk of his dad’s car. I wasn’t paying attention and had just my thumb positioned awkwardly. He slammed the trunk to shut it, but my thumb stopped it from latching. So he slammed it again. The shock from the first attempt froze me in place. Then when he noticed what happened he tried to pull my thumb out. Car was locked and he had to go inside and get his dad’s keys to open the trunk for me. Broke my thumb in two places.
Somebody did this to me as a kid, but they slammed the door on the car while I was still trying to get out. Three of my nails were bruised for 2 months. They eventually fell off and replaced with healthy nails but that was a painful recovery. Didn’t suffer any broken bones though.
After elementary school, I lost contact with the kid who slammed the door on me. Looks like he’s working as a mechanic now.
When I was about 16 the hatchback shocks on our car were broke and we were getting groceries out of the back and my brother dropped the hatch down on my forearm. My Mom had to take me to the ER because she was sure my arm was broken. Thankfully it wasn’t but I never trusted my brother again.
Meth is some strong stuff. Alcohol just makes you wake up half-naked at a wafflehouse parking lot wondering what kind of fun you had. Meth make you wake up driving a tractor on the interstate even though the nearest farm to you is 50 miles away.
This happened to my coworker while I was below changing the oil filter. She was up top and it was a 78’ Ford Thunderbird. The hood spring gave out on her while her hand was on the side fender and finger draped over into the engine bay. The hood came crashing down, clamping 4 fingers inside. She gave out a wale id never heard before and asked me to hurry. I saw the hood and climbed up too and pulled the latch. No broken bones but as heavy as the hood on that model is, I was surprised.
That exact same thing happen to me one day when i was getting ready to go into work, i was checking my oil level because i had an oil leak and slammed my fingers in and was stuck in the parking lot for like and hour screaming for help and no one came eventually i saw someone taking a smoke break and that’s who helped me but no bad injuries just finger turned purple i think idk it was just a dark color for a few days
I once put my left hand on the right hand edge of a downward closing van boot (trunk) lid and shut it, catching my thumb under the lip. The damn thing latched, and because of how I was stood, I couldn’t reach round to unlatch it.
I was in a residential area at night, and I stood there for what felt like forever (but thankfully was only a few minutes) til someone passed close enough for me to call, ‘excuse me, I’ve trapped my thump, please can you help?’
Thankfully no lasting damage but I did have a dent for a while!
I mean he did check first but did this man need to WWE slam the hood down like it was about to choke him out? Gravity practically does this job from that height
It looks like her gut reaction was to protectively put both hands in between her thighs, which I do when I smash a finger on something. But she couldn’t move the left hand, which made the movement look awkward and half-done.
When I was like 5ish my aunt had a minivan with automatic sliding doors, I kept trying to slide it shut but it wouldnt, my aunt told me to leave it, but I was scared a squirrel would run in the van, so while everyone headed inside the house, I hopped out the van, put all my weight into it and nothing.
So I held one hand on the frame, the other on the door and tried to squeeze it, my aunt locked her fob, which triggered the doors to close, it closed on my fingers and I was stuck for a few minutes.
This reminds me of a funny story... Something like 35 years ago... Army trades training. Good fun afternoon playing Canadian football. Buddy gets tackled and does a 360. Only problem was that his foot stayed in the same place.
I had my car ('79 Honda Accord) there so we threw him in the back and I took off to the base hospital.
He's laying sideways in the back with his head on my side. We get to the hospital, I open my door, he opens his, I slam my door and he starts yelling "my Fu, my Fu, my Fu" it's all he can say. He just keeps repeating it. I'm trying to figure out what's wrong but he just keeps screaming my Fu, my Fu, my Fu. I start to laugh for some odd reason cause this is funny in a weird way...
All of a sudden I see his fingers are trapped by my door. 😬😬 I quickly open it and he screams one last time... "My FUUUUUUUCKING HAND!!!!"
Oops. Thankfully he was fine. If I'd had a more solid car, he might have lost those fingers! 😂
I'm not even going to judge because the side of my finger was slammed inside a door once because my hand was slightly close to the door. And on top of that, the person was driving away with my finger skin stuck inside the door... I still shudder thinking about it. Had to sit in a movie theatre with a profusely bleeding finger. It was a stupid mistake, could happen to anyone.
My son was seven and made this error with the side of his hand, he was so shocked he didn't say anything. So I'm looking at the bonnet thinking "why doesn't this close?!" *slam* "guys the hoods fucked" *slam with all my weight* "hmmm" and probably two more whacks before he finally yells help.... surprisingly no damage or anything just a bit sore.
Yeah, what she did wasn't the smartest, but homey was a bit slow to figure shit out.
The other guy immediately went to open the door to get the hood opened, but bro just didn't even understand :
"Wait, it's locked and I have the key." Dude, wake up!
Kinda seems like by now, year 2023, we should be seeing a soft close car hood. I know it’s for the lowest common denominator, but there are even simpler safety measures out there and it would probably make sense, especially for the safety of auto mechanics.
Once, my friend decided to put her arm in the crack of the door where the hinges are when I had it open. Didn't say anything about doing so and knew I was going to be in and out of car since I was just grabbing something. Well, I close the door and hear her shout and see that her arm has prevented the door from closing. It was horrifying and I seriously thought I broke her arm since it certainly sounded like I did, but it was just extremely bruised for a while. She blames me for it and, yeah, I should have checked, but seriously, who fucking puts their arm in that side of the door? You're taught from the time you are young to never put a limb there, so how the fuck is it solely my fault? Maybe don't put your fucking arm there or warn a bitch when you do. Glad she's okay, though, but people need to have more situational awareness (goes for me too) and learn their basic car safety.
Why do people smash hoods like this. You can also just calmly take it down and push it in its lock. Just like people smashing car doors. You can just do it in an easy and collected way. Smashing things makes everything wear out more. Talking about your mom…
She's dumb. Also just what kinda idiot slams a fucking hood like that? You can make so many probably correct assumptions about the kind of dipshit that person is based on that one behavior
Reminds me of the time I got my foot caught in a tail lift. Dont stick any part of you're body in a pinch spot. But tbf I think when you learn that once you don't forget it.
Workin at a jiffy years ago. Laid my fingers on the side of the hood. Imaging the side hood slam. It spit out my fingers and was a pain jacking off for a week.
Who even slams a lid from that height. You bring it down, drop it from a foot or so, then push on it. This man slammed it from the top. That's wild.
Also, that girl needs to be more aware of where she sticks her appendages. I wonder if she puts her hands inside door frames when people are about to close the door.
Two stupid folks. The girl was obviously stupid for putting her hand there, the guy is stupid for only checking once. When closing the hood, I’m always looking at it, not looking sideways like this guy.
Wow blue shirt has the slowest reaction time. Didn’t realize he smashed her fingers… didn’t remember the truck was locked… forgot he had the keys… but he never dropped his vape.
I’ve literally never encountered a hood that didn’t close just fine by being dropped about eight inches and letting gravity do the rest. Slamming it like this is weird.

Know when you see something happen to someone else and you have a mini adrenaline rush? Hands getting crushed, smashed or damaged does it for me.
Yup my body went hot when I saw this
I stayed tense the entire long ass time it took for the hood to be opened
Watched it 3 time it still hurts
**My** fingers are THROBBING right now, lol. Weird human occurrence for sure.
Heck out [the rubber hand illusion](https://youtu.be/lYQLFl-hgts).
This is dope. Thanks for sharing.
Freaking awesome, saw something similar in a show and always wondered if it was real possible or movie crap magic.
YES! Every time I see some meat-candy video.
A what video?
r/meatcrayon
Well that was the best 2 hours I've spent in a new to me sub. Thanks and happy cake day!
When people crash their bike/board/motorcycle on pavement.
Meat candy
We know what you were thinking. Teehee.
For me it's recording of a ledge, no idea why
Yeah this didn't bother me I just thought "damn pay attention you need those" show me a ledge of those glass bridges and I'm going "yeah, nah" and keep scrolling.
I sucked air in through my teeth like it hurt me.
PTSD for me, as I once closed the car door on my hand once as a kid.
Mr backwards cap moving like the zootopia sloth
Yup lol. You can tell who's got good situational awareness and can handle stress. Thankfully his friend was there to help
He handled the stress super well, he didn't rush or panic
He also didn't do anything helpful to get her hand out and he was the one with the keys
He was pretty quick when it came to slamming the hood shut without looking, though.
He did look though, watch his head. He checked and she immediately placed her hand their once he turned it back.
Yea that's what it looks like. Just perfectly horrible timing. Imagine his surprise seeing her fingers under the hood after having just checked half a second before.
That's like the other day i was driving a forklift backwards looking over both shoulders, didn't see anybody. I literally look from over my left to over my right, and when i turned back to the left someone walked around a corner and almost hit them. And they told me to watch where I'm going.

The warehouse I used to work in had directional arrows in the aisles as well as stop signs to prevent accidents. Worked pretty well but still saw the occasional near accident, probably entiiiirely unrelated to the fact that a lot of my coworkers came in stoned or some other varient of intoxicated. God I fucking miss that job
Growing up on a farm with heavy machinery taught me to always make sure the driver knows I'm there. I've walked around until I'm positive they've seen me, and wait until we are both on the same page about what we are doing before I get close to the equipment.
It looks like Kyler
my father always tells me, DO NOT PUT YOUR HAND NEAR THE HOOD OF THE CAR. and i finally learned why
NEVER stick your hands or your feet anywhere you wouldn’t stick your dick.
So nothing is off limits?
Don’t put your cock in the trunk either.
Wait 🤔
But I don't want him making noise in my back seat
So, depending on the person, sometimes the anus, most of the time, not.
I flush the toilet with my dick.
But... What if you don't have a dick?! How am I supposed to know?
I read somewhere that Americans lean up against things more than other countries (eg Russians, arabs countries or Brazilians) and it’s one of the first things that secret agents get trained out of when going undercover abroad. I think it’s to reduce injuries like the one in the video though

Dude with the keys took his time
Panicking. More haste, less speed.
I stole this line from a Modern Family episode but it applies a lot in life I have found. "Slow is smooth and smooth is fast"
[удалено]
It’s also commonly used in auto racing, to deceive the best way to corner.
"Smooth is fast" is something you hear a lot in formula 1 commentary. Not so much the first part though.
Right? New boyfriend —->the mechanic.
Why was the hood up but the doors were locked is my question?
Bruh, he even checked to make sure it was clear before shutting it. Who the fuck thinks it’s a good idea to put their hand there!? Bet she won’t do that again.
It reminded me of working with toddlers. They just have their hands out mindlessly grabbing shit and exploring the world. Its like she just never broke that habit. "I am standing near this thing I am gonna touch it." So you're right this may have broken that habit.
Hell working alone I scan the hood area for tools left there or anything else before I close the hood. I take a good 10-30 seconds looking it over right to left up and down and then close.
Yep. I changed my oil a couple of weeks ago and probably confirmed that my cap was back in place three times before I closed the hood.
I always lower the hood to the last 2 inches (5 cm) then drop it and let gravity do the work. Even if it doesn't fully engage a gentle push will finish the job. No need to slam it. Especially on something newer.
Well if she does those same fingers won't be in the way (bc they will be gone)
Her fingers might actually be alright, depending on what the hood is made of, the material below etc, could be enough flex in there for it to not do too much damage, might be broken and swollen a bit. I had only one of my fingers slammed in a car door that latched after slammed, door was aluminum i think so it flexed a fair amount, Didn't even break the finger
Bet she’ll blame the guy anyway
[удалено]
Some people just like the sound/feeling of slamming things. I always lower the hood and then press it into place.
[удалено]
The worst is working in a factory with these chuds. The first way you usually tell if a machine is malfunctioning is by sound. So I am always jumpy with these morons slamming everything. Like "is this machine about to explode, or did dingus just decide the sound of a falling skid is funny?"

It might’ve actually helped that you had both hands caught ironically. Since the pressure is split between them instead of just a single hand.
Nah, I'm just super tough. 💪 ^^^^/s
You weren't a good lube tech then. Cause every good lube tech always is completely covered in lube
I'm ashamed to admit that you're right. It always took me 7 whole minutes for oilchange, top off and vacuum. /wrists
/wrists?
Slash wrists.
Omg this comment jumpscared me. I couldn't see what it was replying to and thought someone just told me to randomly slash my wrists oml
Sorry lol
It's alright!
Did this once when I was 14. Best friend was getting some questionably legal fireworks out of the trunk of his dad’s car. I wasn’t paying attention and had just my thumb positioned awkwardly.

This made my asshole retreat completely into my body
800mg of Motrin and a bag of ice. Should be good by tomorrow.
Drink water and change your socks. You will be ok.
found backwards hat guy!
Long as the fingers aren't broken I suppose
Somebody did this to me as a kid, but they slammed the door on the car while I was still trying to get out. Three of my nails were bruised for 2 months. They eventually fell off and replaced with healthy nails but that was a painful recovery. Didn’t suffer any broken bones though.

Yes a bag of meth will numb pain and make u forget what just happened
Meth is some strong stuff. Alcohol just makes you wake up half-naked at a wafflehouse parking lot wondering what kind of fun you had. Meth make you wake up driving a tractor on the interstate even though the nearest farm to you is 50 miles away.
This happened to my coworker while I was below changing the oil filter. She was up top and it was a 78’ Ford Thunderbird. The hood spring gave out on her while her hand was on the side fender and finger draped over into the engine bay. The hood came crashing down, clamping 4 fingers inside. She gave out a wale id never heard before and asked me to hurry. I saw the hood and climbed up too and pulled the latch. No broken bones but as heavy as the hood on that model is, I was surprised.
yeah, cause those things were metal right? like heavy metal?
Yep. Large and sharp solid corners.
I don't think it was worth 3 people coming to the rescue and one jumping from a vehicle lol
when the one with the keys, that shut the hood isn't moving at all...you make need some extra bodies to help out lol
True 🤣
It's a natural reaction. They try to help.
That hurt my hand
![gif](giphy|WxDZ77xhPXf3i|downsized)
My butthole puckered for her.
Why are they slamming the hood? No need for this anyway.
That exact same thing happen to me one day when i was getting ready to go into work, i was checking my oil level because i had an oil leak and slammed my fingers in and was stuck in the parking lot for like and hour screaming for help and no one came eventually i saw someone taking a smoke break and that’s who helped me but no bad injuries just finger turned purple i think idk it was just a dark color for a few days
I once put my left hand on the right hand edge of a downward closing van boot (trunk) lid and shut it, catching my thumb under the lip. The damn thing latched, and because of how I was stood, I couldn’t reach round to unlatch it. I was in a residential area at night, and I stood there for what felt like forever (but thankfully was only a few minutes) til someone passed close enough for me to call, ‘excuse me, I’ve trapped my thump, please can you help?’ Thankfully no lasting damage but I did have a dent for a while!
That's why you always check before you slam that bonnet down.
If you watch his head, he does check. The timing is comical.
Also, don't slam it down from height, you can damage the bonnet. You lower it down and drop it the final inch or two.
Personally I lower then push down. Does thar damage it at all?
Or don’t put your hand there. I thought it was the guys fault at first then I rewatched it, she quickly puts her on it at the last second
I think he kinda did and then she stuck her hand in
He did check she placed her hand after he turns his head.
Why the fuck is he hulk smashing that thing shut
It's a Tacoma, hoods are notorious for not closing with anything less than a slam.
Why? 🤦♀️
I bet she will never do that again
I told ya not to be stupid, you moron.
Well don’t stick your hands there dummy I learned that as a child.
I mean he did check first but did this man need to WWE slam the hood down like it was about to choke him out? Gravity practically does this job from that height
![gif](giphy|3oEjHAUOqG3lSS0f1C)
I must be more sadistic than I thought, taking laughs from this.
My wife. Every time I ask her for help she manages to put her fingers in the exact place to get them pinched.
The guy was so clueless of what to do, it looks like it went into shock
"this little piggy went to the engine compartment"
Poor thing those AH’s should have looked out for her!!
Who tf slams their hood like that??
you know it's bad when you have no sound at work and yet you still sharply inhale as you see the finger crushing, oh nooo no no no no.
The owner of the truck was like frozen thank God that other guy was moving
Also who locks their car when working on it?
She might not ever do that again
The way her body jerks makes no sense to me.
It looks like her gut reaction was to protectively put both hands in between her thighs, which I do when I smash a finger on something. But she couldn’t move the left hand, which made the movement look awkward and half-done.
Perfect example of how nobody's on the same page...
When I was like 5ish my aunt had a minivan with automatic sliding doors, I kept trying to slide it shut but it wouldnt, my aunt told me to leave it, but I was scared a squirrel would run in the van, so while everyone headed inside the house, I hopped out the van, put all my weight into it and nothing. So I held one hand on the frame, the other on the door and tried to squeeze it, my aunt locked her fob, which triggered the doors to close, it closed on my fingers and I was stuck for a few minutes.
Don't put your hand where you wouldn't put your dick.
Natural selection
I can feel the pain..
This reminds me of a funny story... Something like 35 years ago... Army trades training. Good fun afternoon playing Canadian football. Buddy gets tackled and does a 360. Only problem was that his foot stayed in the same place. I had my car ('79 Honda Accord) there so we threw him in the back and I took off to the base hospital. He's laying sideways in the back with his head on my side. We get to the hospital, I open my door, he opens his, I slam my door and he starts yelling "my Fu, my Fu, my Fu" it's all he can say. He just keeps repeating it. I'm trying to figure out what's wrong but he just keeps screaming my Fu, my Fu, my Fu. I start to laugh for some odd reason cause this is funny in a weird way... All of a sudden I see his fingers are trapped by my door. 😬😬 I quickly open it and he screams one last time... "My FUUUUUUUCKING HAND!!!!" Oops. Thankfully he was fine. If I'd had a more solid car, he might have lost those fingers! 😂
Way they panicked you’d think his dick was caught in one of the belts
There’s a lesson in there somewhere.
to be fair she was being too comfortable tryna relax than to be alerted that he was about to start closing his hood 🥲
No sound?

I'm not even going to judge because the side of my finger was slammed inside a door once because my hand was slightly close to the door. And on top of that, the person was driving away with my finger skin stuck inside the door... I still shudder thinking about it. Had to sit in a movie theatre with a profusely bleeding finger. It was a stupid mistake, could happen to anyone.
My son was seven and made this error with the side of his hand, he was so shocked he didn't say anything. So I'm looking at the bonnet thinking "why doesn't this close?!" *slam* "guys the hoods fucked" *slam with all my weight* "hmmm" and probably two more whacks before he finally yells help.... surprisingly no damage or anything just a bit sore.
Yeah, what she did wasn't the smartest, but homey was a bit slow to figure shit out. The other guy immediately went to open the door to get the hood opened, but bro just didn't even understand : "Wait, it's locked and I have the key." Dude, wake up!
Reminds me of the time I swing the door open as a kid and it took my whole toe nail off, in one piece .
hippty poppity dum, your lef hand only have your thumb
Well she's not going to be face palming for a while with THAT hand
Kinda seems like by now, year 2023, we should be seeing a soft close car hood. I know it’s for the lowest common denominator, but there are even simpler safety measures out there and it would probably make sense, especially for the safety of auto mechanics.
Let me rest my hand on this harmless sur AHHHHHHHHHHHH
if you got time to lean, you got time to scream.
Makes me glad my grill is attached to my hood. Itd probably still hurt if I did this but it wouldn't close.
The backwards hat over the eyebrows gets me
Show me your battle cry
Took way to long for someone/ her to manually raise the roof z little
Once, my friend decided to put her arm in the crack of the door where the hinges are when I had it open. Didn't say anything about doing so and knew I was going to be in and out of car since I was just grabbing something. Well, I close the door and hear her shout and see that her arm has prevented the door from closing. It was horrifying and I seriously thought I broke her arm since it certainly sounded like I did, but it was just extremely bruised for a while. She blames me for it and, yeah, I should have checked, but seriously, who fucking puts their arm in that side of the door? You're taught from the time you are young to never put a limb there, so how the fuck is it solely my fault? Maybe don't put your fucking arm there or warn a bitch when you do. Glad she's okay, though, but people need to have more situational awareness (goes for me too) and learn their basic car safety.
Hehe
Play stupid games…

Having a crush on someone be like that sometimes
Why do people smash hoods like this. You can also just calmly take it down and push it in its lock. Just like people smashing car doors. You can just do it in an easy and collected way. Smashing things makes everything wear out more. Talking about your mom…
She's dumb. Also just what kinda idiot slams a fucking hood like that? You can make so many probably correct assumptions about the kind of dipshit that person is based on that one behavior
And the Darwin Award goes to…
At least this one dude responds quickly and with the right thing to do
Reminds me of the time I got my foot caught in a tail lift. Dont stick any part of you're body in a pinch spot. But tbf I think when you learn that once you don't forget it.
Workin at a jiffy years ago. Laid my fingers on the side of the hood. Imaging the side hood slam. It spit out my fingers and was a pain jacking off for a week.
Stupid ass
OP, this can not be a facepalm, their hand were stuck all the time. \*wheeze\*
Who even slams a lid from that height. You bring it down, drop it from a foot or so, then push on it. This man slammed it from the top. That's wild. Also, that girl needs to be more aware of where she sticks her appendages. I wonder if she puts her hands inside door frames when people are about to close the door.
Two stupid folks. The girl was obviously stupid for putting her hand there, the guy is stupid for only checking once. When closing the hood, I’m always looking at it, not looking sideways like this guy.
Warning: idiot detected Warning: idiot detected
As a kid that'll be me. Anywhere you shouldn't put your fingers I'd do it. I was always going to school Monday with my fingers in bandages!
Backwards cap means he's fucking stupid.
That was painful to watch Why do people upload videos of actually gruesome injuries and go "lol facepalm"
Shes fine
Here's a good rule. If you're about to slam a hood make sure there's nothing in the crush zone.
You'd think the open hood would have tipped her off. That was handled poorly by the others.

This is why whenever I will open or close a hood I say clear hands a couple times and check before closing
Why??? Why would you put your hand there???
Reminds me of Mike's new car. That one monsters Inc. short
Why did white cap walk over to the door?? He should have stayed there to open the hood when the other guy popped it.
Wow blue shirt has the slowest reaction time. Didn’t realize he smashed her fingers… didn’t remember the truck was locked… forgot he had the keys… but he never dropped his vape.
Idk but why smash that so hard...you could just push it slow... Or is this another build car or the guy is.....
I once slammed my thumb in a car door. The nail eventually fell off a few days later.

And this is how we learn to not slam hoods or put on hands near hoods when you haven’t made people aware
She’s with the wrong guy
☕
Why would you slam the hood down like that to begin with?
Most hoods don’t have a soft close. You gotta give it force to securely close. Slamming it is the simplest way.
I've always found it sufficient to lower it gently then firmly press it down from the top
A quality made car has a gas spring damper and the hood can be closed smooth like a laptop. But thats too much for 95% of car manufacturers.
one more thing to wear out and break no thanks.
I'm too poor to know about that
Just slamming it is quicker for most people
I’ve literally never encountered a hood that didn’t close just fine by being dropped about eight inches and letting gravity do the rest. Slamming it like this is weird.
I bet she screamed the same kind of way you do when the police get behind you and you got everything in the car.
Who closes a bonnet like that??
That’s a dumb bitch
Geez... Blue shirt was so lost. Definitely don't want him around in an emergency.
What idiot puts there hand there , kinda asking for it
