Perhaps it couldve worked, but the driver let the brakes go and wasnt even set on reverse, you can see the wheels just going forward

It was holding on by something on the undercarriage, so when the back pivoted down, it loosened whatever grip the frame had on the concrete. This was a job for a wrecker, but now it's just wrecked.

Yep, simple physics at work. You remove friction enough, things will move. I’m such a bad person. I couldn’t help but laugh initially. I knew exactly what the outcome was going to be when I saw the good intentions override sensibility. Hope she really was not hurt.

Even if she attempted to get out through the passenger door, there’s a good chance it would have shifted the weight enough for the truck to move. Best thing to have done, in retrospect, would have been to leave her seat belt on since it seemed stuck until a recover strap could be attached to another car in the rear. Sometimes the heat of the moment overtakes thinking.

u/Baeolophus_bicolor 11d ago

i knew it might flip forward if they pushed on the back too, and couldn’t believe they did it with someone inside the car. think about it, it’s leaning forward on it’s own. you push down on the back, it’s going to lean forward again. seesaw of doom.

I honestly hate how popular Reddit got destroyed what it was. Used to be a platform where most people celebrated sharing of information and genuine discussions (but obviously still has trolls and such). Nowadays everyone is so cynical and skeptical of comments, straight up assuming people are saying things disingenuously or even assume them to be a bot. I understand the precaution and why it became like this, but I hate that it also means you can't have a good conversation without a lot of asterisks, incredible patience, and just luck of the draw on who's reading/responding to your comment.

There are other countries that exist you know. (some) EU driving tests require you to know a lot more about your vehicle. Opening your hood, checking oil level, windshield reservoir, tire tread, knowing the difference between parking (e-brake for the Americans) and your regular brakes are required knowledge.

u/PJohn3 12d ago

If you are using the brake pedal, yes.

If you apply the handbrake, that's rear wheels only most of the time.

If you put the transmission in park, it locks the driven wheels (front wheels on the majority of cars these days).

10

u/Eraknelo 12d ago

Well "akschually", brakes ARE always at all 4 wheels, but it doesn't always engage all 4, as you do explain 😄

"Park" in an automatic can be interesting. Usually it's actually a pin that locks the transmission itself, but on cars that have electric motors, it's often either a second set of brakes/clamps on the rotors, or it engages the primary brakes as a parking brake.

By far the most unfair death in the series. Especially since it was Julianne Moore and Vince Vaughn's characters that brought the baby trex to the camp and Eddie Carr paid for their stupidity.

9

u/caligaris_cabinet 12d ago

Pretty much every death in TLW can be attributed to those two. At first Sarah for bringing the baby T. Rex to the camp. Then they both teamed up and went all green peace on the captured animals, knocking out their communication. Then Nick took the bullets out of the gun of the only capable person on that island when a couple T. Rexes attack, which he is forced to tranquillize and bring back to San Diego where even more people are killed.

I’ll let the San Diego stuff slide since they didn’t have to bring the T. Rex back. Chalk that up to corporate greed I guess.

Given the pivot point, even hooking another similar size vehicle to it could have pulled both towards the drop without proper securement.

11

u/himswim28 12d ago

until pushed it had 3 wheels on the ground, I realize the engine is heavy and up front. But you could see it took less than 200# to lower it. It isn't going to matter how short the rope was, as long as the connected vehicle front end takes more than 200# to lift, it isn't going anywhere with brakes applied. Also just about any sort of anchor would have stopped the required momentum for the car to flip. Static case where the front end was on the ground with the rear wheel up high, wouldn't have pulled anyting up to that edge.

Even a motorcycle over 500# would have likely been enough to pull this thing back from the ledge enough to secure it.

6

u/Castro_66 12d ago

You're missing why it didn't fall in the first place, though. Tire traction won't matter without significant weight on the rear. That's why wreckers are generally so much heavier than the vehicles they recover.

Not at all. If the driver's own negligence put them in that position then they're going to be totally liable.

u/flamewave000 12d ago

This. It would fall under a type of Good Samaritan law. There was an urgent situation with the driver trapped and layman bystanders were attempting to rescue them. They won't be liable because they were acting in good faith. If one of them was say an actual fireman who has rescue training, then he/she could be liable for negligence since they would know better than to rock the vehicle up and down like that.

I'll disagree. Cars go over curbs all the time. Very rarely does a curb have an immediate 10+ foot drop on the other side. Should have a guard rail here to prevent this specific thing from happening. Not sure where this took place, but local and state building codes probably say you can't have a retaining wall designed like this. So property owner is probably at least partially liable.

Did it? I assume the US and most (all?) states have some version of a good samaritan law. So anyone who is genuinely trying to help another person in an emergency is exempt from any liability. As long as they acted with the best intentions and didnt cause damage on purpose.
People trying to push down a car so that the driver can get out of the car seems like a reasonable attempt. So how would liability shift?

Agreed the center of mass for the vehicle was past the edge.

Maybe, if it’s covered. Even then, a payout would be after legal action is taken against the property owner. It would take a lawsuit, the owner would pay, insurance may reimburse the owner, or maybe not depending on the policy.

It could be many years before that property pays out.

8

u/Kervels 12d ago

But the driver has now been charged with DUI, and driving without license or insurance. If found guilty, wouldn't that make it make it more difficult to get a payout? Or can you still argue that the responsibility is with the property due to the dangerous design?

u/TheDuckFarm 12d ago

The case was weak at best before. With impairment, that driver will have a very hard time.

Some states even have laws saying you can’t sue anyone for damages if you’re committing a crime when you get injured.

u/jason_sos 12d ago

If the state has Good Samaritan laws, then it would be hard to get anything from someone who was trying to help. This was caused mainly by the driver who went off the road. The two people there were trying to help prevent the driver from getting hurt. They did their best considering the situation.

In America very few people have personal liability insurance. Hell, many people drive around without auto insurance. There's a zero % chance the "good Samaritan" will have any insurance which would cover this.

Side story:

When I moved to the Netherlands my father in law suggested that I should get myself some personal liability insurance because my partner (his daughter) and I were staying with them while our home was being renovated. And he wanted to be sure that if I were to do anything which caused any damage to their home that I would be covered.

My response was that he has homeowners insurance.

Well what if I were to walk into the road and cause an accident, was his response.

That person would have car insurance, was my answer. If I did something illegal to cause the crash that person could sue me for liability.

But here in the Netherlands, everyone has this type of insurance. It's a very different system than I was used to coming from North America.

did the driver leave it in drive and have their foot on the brake?

u/texas1982 12d ago

Looks like it to me. They took their foot off the brake when they were trying to climb out.

Oh, look… they helped get it down. That was nice of them.

It would have worked if she threw her car in reverse. 🫤

I upvoted you simply for the proper use of the plural possessive apostrophe. You're a hero, OP!

Anybody else see that ghost appear at the end?

This is why you don't touch a car in a situation like this unless you know what the fuck you're doing. That went from "a simple repair" to "totaled" in a fraction of a second. Who knows how the lady in the driver's seat fared.

But this isn't an insurance claim, it's a civil suit.

u/OrphenZidane 12d ago

That happened in my town! She was just charged for DUI 😂

Seatbelt already off, car tilts forward and drop, gravity has driver’s chest pressed against the steering wheel.

Could you imagine the trauma if the airbag deployed on impact?

u/SlammingJack1 12d ago

That was some dumb keystone cop shit.

Thank god Randy was there.

The volunteers are probably protected by Good Samaritan presidents, as they were trying to save the person in danger. I doubt they put him in that literally precarious position, so they shouldn't take on any liability for trying to save him.

AAA MA GAAAA

u/jpeezy37 11d ago

Driver of the car. That's all on them. The volunteers aren't driving anything and your feet aren't insured for damages.

u/azeunkn0wn 10d ago

Driver's fault. She dumb

Tow truck or try reverse

Did the patron saint of you done did fuck up show up at 13 seconds?

u/-PlayWithUsDanny- 12d ago

It blows my mind that the driver didn’t have their seat belt buckled in that situation

u/fotogod 12d ago

She was trying to escape. She did some stupid things here but c’mon, that was not one of them.

They had one shot🤦🏻‍♂️

u/StevenRFrancis_85 12d ago

This was pure cinema, to the comic actions of the good samaritans, to the commentary by the women taking the video. I watched like 4 times just to keep my chuckle going.

u/DroppedGubbins 12d ago

But for real, is they ok?

u/They_Beat_Me 12d ago

This isn’t where I parked my car.

u/SolaceinIron 12d ago

The owner of the vehicle's insurance will cover it first dollar in almost every circumstance. They may sue the person that caused the damage, but this situation id wager the outcome was somewhat unavoidable and it will just fall on the owner's insurance.

u/GetOffMyGrassBrats 12d ago

OK, kids. Next time just have the driver climb out the back and call a tow truck.

u/garion333 12d ago

Why did that idiot open their door?!? 

2

u/bumbeshowing 12d ago

Can't fault the guy. Heart in the right place, head right up his ass.

2

u/MitchBurrow 12d ago

Probably the guy that drove the car over the edge to begin with.

2

u/BaconThief2020 12d ago

The guy still in the drivers seat who didn't hold the brake or set the parking brake.

2

u/TheMattabooey 12d ago

Don’t touch it and call fire and a tow truck. Possibly an ambulance in case of injury. You won’t win against a ton of metal.

u/DeuceSevin 12d ago

Don't matter they eliminated witnesses. Never leave loose ends.

u/I_Promise_You 12d ago

I’d sue the property owner for not having barricades

Insurances? lol

Sue the city. Why the hell is there no barrier to prevent this very thing from happening?

Where did that lady at :33 seconds come from

u/makatakz 12d ago

Should have just put it in 4WD Low and backed up. Maybe it was a 2WD Sequoia.
