Not if they happen to have access to the youtube video.
Anyone else surprised how the a-pillar folded?
He left some pretty entertaining skid marks. On the road, at least.
Yeah, I was a little concerned by the shape of the cab
The accents really add to the hilarity
He was lucky he didn't get squished like a bug though. The edge of the road could have filled in the area between the hood and the back of the cabin.
how do you even do that? I didn't think it was possible to do worse burnouts than the Top Gear boys.
Action films spend all that time and money attaching hydraulic rams under cars to get them to roll. They could save loads if they only hire this guy.
It looks like the truck rolled sortof into a ditch. So all the weight of the truck on on the windshield header, none on the front of the hood like you'd get on the road. I think that's why the a-pillar folded like that? Either way, how the heck do you roll a truck at 25 mph?
Having owned one its not surprising that it happens more often. Especially with the prices on these trucks going south the ownership age is jetting younger and younger.
I was also surprised by the total lack of rollover protection. I don't think rollovers get much lighter than that and the cab looked like it had all it could take.
I LOL'd at the "did I pop a tire?"
no. all 4 tires are still spinning from the accident. You just drove your truck into a ditch.
The 2 biggest dangers a classic car faces are: The government (clunker bills and emmission laws) and stupid people (like in that vid...) Sadly the gov't contains a lot of car hating stupid people.
P.S. that'll buff right out.....
The conversation at my house would've gone something like "I bet we can get the SRTRX running by sun-up"
At first, I was wondering how he got out so fast, then I found my answer at :04. No seat belt. I guess in this case, that could've been a good thing. Looks like he probably wound up in the passenger floor board, probably squashed had he been buckled in.
Would have been a really lame way to go. Imagine standing in line at the gates of heaven and God is laughing at you as he watches your lame burn out/roll over and over on YouTube.
