Lets be honest here that car flipping was the best outcome here as they can no longer be a danger on the road until whatever the fuck is going on in there is handled.

"pinballing"

That's an insult to pinballs, even they could driven better, handled the situation better than this. Even a blind person could tell you that you shouldn't reverse just to go forward and keep fucking up.

Also, flipping at that speed isn't all that dangerous, as long as he doesn't dangle his arm out of the window.

And the chances that he'll continue driving this car are very slim.

He basically DIY confiscated the car.

i work with a guy who flipped his jeep over on its side off roading and he put his hands out to brace the crash because it was so slow and he lost 7 fingers.

u/1sthomehelp 17h ago

Lmao imagine trying to "brace" a vehicle from falling🤣🤣🤣

17

u/dyslexicAlphabet 17h ago

realistically you would go into a ball but i think his instincts because it was so slow was to put his arms out.

Omg, such a wrong move. But that's awful that he lost 7 fingers though 😢

u/Square-Singer 16h ago

I know a guy who did basically the same when the folding chair collapsed below him. Cut off his middle finger.

20 years or so later his son lost his thumb to a circular saw when building his sauna.

I had either the laziest or smartest wood shop teacher. He wouldn’t demonstrate anything. He’d just give directions and then call up a student and talk them through it. Had all 10 fingers too. Always explained that just because he could do it didn’t mean we could so it was better for us to learn while he explained the steps. I never figured out if that was his way of keeping everyone focused and involved or if it was bullshit so he didn’t have to have his hands near the machines in case one of us leaned too closely and bumped him.

People used to think you didn’t need to wear a seatbelt in a car because you could just grab the dash and keep yourself in your seat. Some people still think that. With enough velocity, a Kleenex box sitting on your dash or in the crevice by your back window can do some serious damage to your head. I think basic mechanical physics should be required in public school, rather than the Ten Commandments.

u/disktoaster 15h ago

An underappreciated mechanic is also that your head is remarkably heavy and tends to try to pull your upper body ahead during slow falls. He might have felt, physically, like he was about to go through the window and be way worse off. It does feel that way in the kind of slow rollover that happens while offroading. Not that I'm speaking from experience... 🤐

u/Aurora_Uplinks 10h ago

apathy helps

5

u/HispanicAtTheDisko 14h ago

Realistically, you'd probably try to brace yourself too. If you are falling, and you curl into a ball, then I can only imagine you've trained it for some silly sport.

Falling and extending your hand out to catch yourself is a reaction inherent in us all.

u/hanks_panky_emporium 4h ago

Back in the 2010's someone in church's son flipped his truck drunk driving through a farmers field that he hated. Was trying to ruin as much of their yield, I think alfalfa or something. Windows open, truck flips. Arm goes out, crushed under the roof when it hit the ground. Didn't shear it off but broke the hell out of it.

Since his dad's a cop he wasn't charged for the DUI or reckless driving or destruction of property. He was bragging about all the damage he'd done and his intent but the 'real' story is he had a terrible rollover accident all the way from the highway into the damn near middle of the field. No one bought it except the judge, I guess.

He died drunk driving a few years later. Speared a telephone pole at like 40mph. No seatbelt. DIdn't get many details there, had already moved towns for dads work.

u/SuperSiriusBlack 11h ago

I watched a guy try to stop a forklift from hitting an aircraft.

His arm popped open. The woman I was talking to yanked her belt off, made him a tourniquet with it, and saved the dudes arm. She was a real life hero, and her immediate action (quit talking to me mid-sentence to save this guy) was inspirational.

So, lucky she was there, but yeah. People do dumb things like try to use flesh to stop metal pretty often, if there isnt time to think.

1

u/1sthomehelp 11h ago

Oh my goodness! Lucky she was there and quick to action!

u/SuperSiriusBlack 11h ago

She was my boss at the time, and I respected the heck outta her! You might be able to guess from my story about her, but she was such a genuinely good person. Shout-out to LS1 Lee, im positive you're doing well, wherever you are!

u/Intelligent_Fig5418 2h ago

I did something similar. A girl accidentally cut her wrist lengthwise on some glass and she starts running with blood going everywhere. I chased her down, pulled off my shirt and wrapped it tightly around the cut. Yelled for my friend to get his car and we took her to the hospital as fast as we could. ER dr said if I didn't do that she easily would have bled out. She had surgery to repair the vein and remove glass. I just reacted instead of staring like others were doing. Glad I was in the right place at the right time! Even saved someone drowning years before that. Adults sat there doing nothing and I dove in and pulled the young girl out. None of it really sunk in until later. Its a strange feeling! I never panic, just react and no idea where it comes from. Just thankful I can do that!

u/h3lium-balloon 13h ago

There's war stories from when cannons first came into use on battle fields of soldiers trying to instinctively stop cannon balls that had slowed down somewhat rolling across the battle field and getting all the bones in their legs shattered. Human brains are kind of bad at figuring out the force of slow moving, but very heavy objects.

1

u/1sthomehelp 13h ago

That is terrifying!

1

u/arstin 11h ago

If you've ever done anything reflexively and then realized this wasn't the appropriate situation for that reflex (I have), you should be terrified of that sort of accident (I am). Putting yourself in a bad spot before your consciousness even realizes what is happening.

Now if you have time to realize what your hand is doing, and you leave it, well that's just dumb.

1

u/Downtown_Caramel4833 7h ago

Guilty of attempting to catch a falling knife.

Fortunately the instant a finger-tip made contact, my body immediately treated it like I touched an electric fence and forcibly recoiled my arm instead of attempting to complete the catch.

1

u/Background_Edge_9427 4h ago

I think he probably just acted on reflex, instinct.

0

u/GracchiBros 15h ago edited 14h ago

You laugh, but it's a natural instinct that people have. People racing open vehicles like sprint cars have to actively train themselves not to do this if they flip and instead cross their arms over their chests (this also keeps them from holding on the steering wheel which will also cause injury).

0

u/1sthomehelp 13h ago

I'm a human person, so I understand, but it's a vehicle.... like common sense tells you that you can't stop it from tipping over. Idk, i guess I'd have to be in the situation, but i feel like i would make sure all my limbs are tucked away

u/Illustrious-Line-984 17h ago

On the bright side, there’s a 70% chance he can’t ever flip you off.

Chances are he won’t be pointing out anything. There’s a word to describe that, but I can’t put my finger on it.

1

u/aerdvarkk 16h ago

Np. He has 3 fingers left, where one would be considered a "middle finger".

u/Critical_Ad_7380 15h ago

I was thinking the same thing, lol! I love dark humor.

1

u/ThinkAThirdTime 14h ago edited 4h ago

Assuming uniform probability for each finger (unlikely, you're not likely to lose finger A and finger C but keep finger B between them, but we'll assume it for ease of calculation):

That's the probability he can't flip you off with his right hand only. (Basically for any finger you choose, it has a 70% chance to be lost, and a 30% chance to be kept.)

There's a 6.6_% chance he keeps both middle fingers.

A 23.3_% chance he keeps left but not right.

A 23.3_% chance he keeps right but not left.

For a total of 53.3_% chance he keeps at least one (but possibly both) middle fingers.

So a little worse than 50/50 he can't flip you off anymore.

Back in the 70s I worked in a walk-in counseling center. I had a client who was a teenager who had her arm resting on the windowsill of the car she was riding in.

I mean, the guy is almost certainly intoxicated, but people are regularly arrested for having an actual medical emergency like a stroke.

One of the police departments near me is being sued because few years back they booked a guy having a stroke and denied him medical assistance because they said he was just tweaking. They found him on the floor of his cell later foaming at the mouth and had him sent to a hospital where he died from the stroke.

His name was Kingsley Bimpong if you want to look up the case. There are others as well.

Might be a medical emergency. Diabetic shock, heart attack, there are a multitude of possibilities for a medical emergency.

agreed... that was likely the best possible outcome for everyone who wasn't in the car... and maybe even for the guy who was in the car.

Seen something like this when an older guy had a stroke while driving... he was all over the 4 lanes, oncoming and our own lanes. He finally hit a power pole and got stuck but was still on the gas pedal like he was on the highway. Pretty scary stuff

I hope the FD cut him out of the car and made it inoperable for the future.

Medical emergency?

My first thought was heart attack, but once he tried to gun it from the hillside, knew it had to be some kind of elevated/altered.

He'll be lucky if he doesn't end up in prison and only ends up with a suspended license

Yeah but it's still somewhat reassuring that people who drive like they're completely conked out on meth are in fact that. Meaning that it'd be fairly easy to force that car into a ditch if you felt like sacrificing some of your money for other people.
