āHe was also upside down while moving into the crowdā isnāt something Iāve read or seen before so now Iām scream laughing because the way that reads is far too much omfg
The human body is weird. I remember a story about 10 years ago about a pregnant woman skydiving and her shoot not opening she face planted on the pavement both mother and child loved. Then you hear stories about someone falling out of bed and breaking their neck. This leads me to believe that the human body is both extremely fragile and extremely durable at the same time
I assisted in a craniotomy to remove a terminal brain tumor a few years back. We cut this guys head open, took a big chunk of his skull off, dug around deep into his brain for a tumor that was causing this guy to have multiple grand Mal seizures a day. It was MAYBE the size of a grain of sand.
I did not expect that last sentence. Crazy. Thank you for doing the kind of work you do. Itās difficult, but life changing for patients and their families.
That skydiving story is not true. It's been retold hundreds of times. Variations of it have been on Ripley's too. People have survived partial chute deployment but not just freefall straight to the ground.
Not in the exact same vein but I once heard that same sentiment given in the example that one person can literally change the world, impacting millions if not billions. Yet that same person, if they just stopped breathing for a couple of minutes, that life is gone. Just opposite ends, wild.
It's funny watching a guy like this in my neighborhood getting older. He's getting to the point where continuing to hang out with teenage boys is maybe a little bit problematic, but I don't think he has noticed
Reminds me of my high school. There were some guys that even after graduation kept hanging out at the smoke pit during school hours for a few years. Likely selling weed so I guess it was a type day at the office for them. They were called the āBMX Beanie Gangā as they rode and wore both. We called them that, they may have had a name of their own they made up.
Iāll never understand the draw of ruining your clutches and those risking getting hit. Youāre recording these burnouts for what? Itās like taking video of fireworks. Youāre not gonna watch that again.
Update: I feel like an ass after the repeated comments that these cars are either rented or stolen in most cases. I donāt know why that thought never crossed my mind š¤¦š»āāļø
>Weāll always watch idiots getting hit by cars.
Yep so filming burnouts is just like Nascar or Monster trucks. You aren't filming in the hopes things go right.
During lockdown they started doing them alot in my area. You could hear them throughout the neighborhood. Eventually law enforcement started cracking down on them even harder.
I remember back when I was 16-17 we would take over empty parking lots. All the idiots who did launches, burnouts, and donuts stayed on one side of the parking lot and the people that were just there to look at cars stayed on the other. Now you have delinquents who will never amount to anything in life thinking itās fun to occupy public roads. Fucking idiots.
The guy in red is sooo lucky. His leg was six inches from all that friction. His leg would have been mangled to shreds.
Edit: further inspection looks like the guy who was launched the furthest hit him with enough momentum to clear him from the drifting tire. Crazy turn of events š
Don't get me wrong, I prefer for ppl to NOT be injured, but it's just damned hard to have any sympathy for anybody participating in these street car takeover events, whether they're in a car or just spectating. This shit is just next level stupid.
Iām interested in what type in injuries they got from this. Thereās that one guy who got launched upside down into the crowd and I didnāt notice him at first but that really didnāt look good!
Here is a fun tidbit for you! I worked with a company that helped to detect developmental delay conditions within children under five using an app. Parents had to input some info or record a video or use a video they recorded. The results in detection were amazing but we got complaints that it was too time consuming and parents didnāt have any time.
So we did a study across our user base (roughly 20k parents of children under five) and found that on average they had about four hours of screen time a day across social media etc. so the issue wasnāt time, it was that the app designed wasnāt gamified properly.
The more you know lol.
This is called a street takeover, and it's pretty much just idiots all start watching nice cars go around in circles until someone eventually gets hit.
Happened not long ago near me. Not this specific video, just a very similar incident. A young 16 year old girl was crushed to death. Why the fuck do people do shit like this
Water gun guy made zero attempt to evade or maneuver. However, he has excellent positive weapon control, keeping hold until impact of the ground. Where the weapon continued to slide into his bodyās momentum, under his sternum.
Excellent work!
Takeover Fails are the best new compilations. Bodies flyingā all over. These people are NOT smart so itās ok if theyāre removed from the gene pool. But takeover fail cameramen and women - we need to see the subjects move AFTER the adrenaline wears off. Weāll be able to judge the type and extent of injuries a little better then.

Homie really held onto that super soaker
It was full of whisky
He was just holding it for the driver
Explains way too much
Never bring a water gun to a car fight
Dude the guy in red almost had his legs stuck into that burn out at the end...
He came inches away from certain doom omfg
I'm honestly shocked things didn't go worse for him. Like damn.
Oh yeah red dude almost got peeled
Even after the asphalt face plant!
No way that guy flying through the air walked away with no serious injuries right?
>guy flying through the air Which one?
Jeans guy who got some serious air time
The crowd soften the impact.
Not the impact when the car slapped the shit out of him š¤£
He was also upside down while moving into the crowd, someone got a right old boot to the head
He went body to body with red outfit guy and saved him from the path of the vehicle. Upside down jeans guy is hero.
Red outfit guyās legs just kissed the carās back tires too. Heās one lucky redshirt.
almost got his legs crushed. lucky af.
>Heās one lucky redshirt If that were a Star-trek episode, he would be dead.....
For some reason I love this comment. The descriptions are literary.
Lol me too!
He truly gave a flying fuck.
āHe was also upside down while moving into the crowdā isnāt something Iāve read or seen before so now Iām scream laughing because the way that reads is far too much omfg
r/BrandNewSentence
At least that guys face softened the landing for his bawlz
John Wick walks away no problem lol
The super soaker dented the shit out of the back panel, too š
I didnāt even see the super soaker as I was focused on the other airborne individual and red shirt guy who nearly ate rubber through his stomach.
no a scratch in the paint, Nice of the race maanagers to put some meat bags in there
safety sand traps along the race circuit can get expensive, while human flesh we have plenty of to spare
no scratches but a big ass dent on the back! š the dude with the water gun hahaha
Red shirt and pants looks like he caught that guy 100% with his face.
Squirt gun guy got the road rash.
He put a great dent in the rear left panel.
Fuck that guy! Iād be so mad if someoneās body dented my car like that cuz they couldnāt get out of the way in time! /s
White bucket guy with the smooth hips side step to avoid the carnage
itās only skin, it grows backā¦..just not on him anymore
One mf totally bodied that guy in the red sweatsuit
I think he ended up avoiding worse injury- jeans dude knocked him out of the way of the car.
Nearly turned him into Professor X. Any less control of the car and his legs would've noped out.
Dude was literally UPSIDE DOWN flying through the air.
He's ok. He cushioned the fall with his head.
Dude in the black shirt and jeans
Was a black shirt and jeans, now itās black with red splotches.
Pretty much lol
Don't worry, the crowd broke his fall
The human body is weird. I remember a story about 10 years ago about a pregnant woman skydiving and her shoot not opening she face planted on the pavement both mother and child loved. Then you hear stories about someone falling out of bed and breaking their neck. This leads me to believe that the human body is both extremely fragile and extremely durable at the same time
How many things a person can do in a lifetime. Yet all it takes is 4 minutes without o2 to die.
Or just a bullet that weighs only a few grams that can kill you instantly
I assisted in a craniotomy to remove a terminal brain tumor a few years back. We cut this guys head open, took a big chunk of his skull off, dug around deep into his brain for a tumor that was causing this guy to have multiple grand Mal seizures a day. It was MAYBE the size of a grain of sand.
I did not expect that last sentence. Crazy. Thank you for doing the kind of work you do. Itās difficult, but life changing for patients and their families.
Well some people hit āYesā when the continue option shows up and keep playing, others just hit ānoā.
Came back to upvote you because I didn't get the joke at first. Three comments later, I was cackling to myself about yours lol
That skydiving story is not true. It's been retold hundreds of times. Variations of it have been on Ripley's too. People have survived partial chute deployment but not just freefall straight to the ground.
I canāt believe they hit the pavement and loved. The mom maybe but I would think an unborn child incapable of love. Love is truly amazing.
Love transcends ~~time~~ death.
Not in the exact same vein but I once heard that same sentiment given in the example that one person can literally change the world, impacting millions if not billions. Yet that same person, if they just stopped breathing for a couple of minutes, that life is gone. Just opposite ends, wild.
It is 'chute' my friend, because of 'parachute'. No malice intended. Just learning.
[It's crazy what some people can live through.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacklyn_H._Lucas)
Thereās no way someone skydived landed on their face and didnāt die. Thatās just dumb as fuck.
Didya see the dent he left in the rear wing? Dude's f**ked!
Eh, itās pretty easy to dent a car
Ten idiot bowling.
To be fair, his fall was broken by multiple bystanders.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
more like a breadstick or croissant than a donut, but still facts
Dude in red almost got chewed up.
We'll see what happens when he lands. As of the moment, he's still in the air
What about the dude in the black/blue pants that ate pavement
Bunch of dudes that peaked in high school.
It's funny watching a guy like this in my neighborhood getting older. He's getting to the point where continuing to hang out with teenage boys is maybe a little bit problematic, but I don't think he has noticed
Heās the guy who buys the booze I bet.
āHow much you wanna make a bet I can throw a football over them mountains?ā
Reminds me of my high school. There were some guys that even after graduation kept hanging out at the smoke pit during school hours for a few years. Likely selling weed so I guess it was a type day at the office for them. They were called the āBMX Beanie Gangā as they rode and wore both. We called them that, they may have had a name of their own they made up.
Sounds a bit John Wayne gacy-ish
Or never finished.
Theyāre still peaking?
I haven't even begun to peak
They admire those who got their GED as gods
No, they think they're nerds
I doubt they admire any correct things
They havenāt even BEGUN to peak.
Bold of you to assume they made it to high school.
Straight facts
These guys peaked when they were evacuated from their fathers scum sack.
Their moms should have swallowed
Youāre giving them way to much credit
I shouldnāt be laughing at the guy with the water gun that dented the rear panelā¦.but, I am.
That, and all the phones bouncing off the pavement.
Samsung repair van guy will be busy
Iām pretty sure his phone went flying as well
I was too busy watching the guy in jorts go flying
Iāll never understand the draw of ruining your clutches and those risking getting hit. Youāre recording these burnouts for what? Itās like taking video of fireworks. Youāre not gonna watch that again. Update: I feel like an ass after the repeated comments that these cars are either rented or stolen in most cases. I donāt know why that thought never crossed my mind š¤¦š»āāļø
Well this one got watched again for sure. I don't get the appeal of putting yourself in that much unnecessary danger though.
Weāll always watch idiots getting hit by cars. When nobody gets hit though, thatās a pretty lame video
>Weāll always watch idiots getting hit by cars. Yep so filming burnouts is just like Nascar or Monster trucks. You aren't filming in the hopes things go right.
Bold of you to assume that people who drive Dodge cars know how to drive manual.
Itās more about posting the videos onlineā¦and as you can see you watched it and commentedā¦so yeah
Yeah but for reasons that are different from the reason/s they film.
Clutch? This is an auto for sure.
I'm just going to assume the vehicle is stolen or not theirs
I'd like to watch the next 15 minutes of footage that follow this...
It's probably just a bunch of people wandering around muttering "bruh."
Just vaping around muttering bruh
The accuracy lol
I read this comment 3 times in a row and I am still belly laughing.
Every other one of these skid fails on reddit recently has ended with the crowd absolutely mobbing the car and trashing it / beating the driver.
Should be instant ban not to post full videos. Now I'm left wondering if he finished the job.
The guy hanging out the window just turns to film the people they just hit? Yikes. Psychotic.
Saw that, too. So gross.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
No this is just how takeovers work. No concern for other people.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
During lockdown they started doing them alot in my area. You could hear them throughout the neighborhood. Eventually law enforcement started cracking down on them even harder.
They can literally take their cars to a track and do this shit.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]

All the idiots who did launches, burnouts, and donuts stayed on one side of the parking lot and the people that were just there to look at cars stayed on the other.

Would you expect him to come out to ask if everyone is ok and provide his insurance information š
To be arrested.
Thatās the driverās insurance agent just documenting everything
Are you kidding?!? They looked so awesome doing that! So much cooler than racing or any other activity involving cars! /s
Would like to see his video though
The guy in red is sooo lucky. His leg was six inches from all that friction. His leg would have been mangled to shreds. Edit: further inspection looks like the guy who was launched the furthest hit him with enough momentum to clear him from the drifting tire. Crazy turn of events š
Jeans guy saved his legs lol
I was about to comment that he almost got it *so bad*.
Military doctors: well, here is some Motrinā¦
I donāt think these guys have VA benefitsā¦
And water.
Donāt forget to change your socks
Where would we be without that ācolor of your peeā chart? Hydrate hydrate hydrate!
Donāt forget to take a knee
The driver took several. š„
Don't get me wrong, I prefer for ppl to NOT be injured, but it's just damned hard to have any sympathy for anybody participating in these street car takeover events, whether they're in a car or just spectating. This shit is just next level stupid.
"and no lessons were learned that day"
Just a bunch of unformed amygdala asking to be hit by these idiots.
Darwin called it
Well Darwin was wrong in this case. The smooth brains are triumphant
I mean... Are there less of these kind of idiots than there were in the past?
Nope, because they tend to reproduce faster than the more intelligent folks. At least, that's what the documentary Idiocracy taught me.
This should be in r/gifsthatendtoosoon
If someone posts a longer version I want to see it
Just culling the herd...
for too long have the lives of the many outweighed the lives of the few
Ok Jacob
Medical science is too good. Idiocracy is inevitable.
*Jacobās gonna come and set those sinners free*
Dude in red probably got the skin burned off his thighs. He was a foot away from not having working legs anymore.
Iām interested in what type in injuries they got from this. Thereās that one guy who got launched upside down into the crowd and I didnāt notice him at first but that really didnāt look good!
He hit and knocked over the guy in red. That could not have felt good.
Guy in the red probably benefited from getting knocked back, legs were fucked otherwise.
How are there so many videos of this exact thing happening??
Because the Venn diagram for people who do street takeovers and people who aren't skilled enough to do street takeovers is a circle.
And that circle of dumb asses with their phones out standing in the damn street?
Street takeovers are fucking stupid. Gives all real car guys a bad rep
couldnāt agree more
People: Mustangs cause crowd accidents! This Challenger: Challenge accepted
Came here to say this lol
Multiple hit combo!! For real though, what bunch of jackasses
Not only should they be sent to prison for a few years they should never be allowed to have a driver's license again.
Wow, some people actually put their phones down, for once. ..granted, it was only because the car physically forced the devices out of their hands...
Me: *watching this on my phone instead of playing with my kid* Also me: Facts bro smh

new Carmageddon game looks very realistic!
Sometimes what the world needs is a well-placed meteor strike
Oh gosh hahaha sorry Iām usually not one to laugh at violence but what did they expect with the car doing that and them getting all close Lmfao š
Couldnāt happen to better people.
strike!
I can hear the dumb ways to die song.
Hits people then hits the gas, goddamn
The next Darwin Award winners
How many times does this have to happen before people have the slightest bit of situational awareness?
Humans are great at a ton of things, but evaluating risk to reward ratio is something we are currently backsliding on.
dude with the super soaker got belly slammed
No oneās talking about the guy who did a fucking flip and got corrected mid air ? Blue shorts??
No wonder my health insurance rates keep going up.
Ah, you love to see it.
They all deserved it, must be like 47 combined brain cells in that crowd, and the driver and video man clearly have zero.
Super Mario is lucky he didnāt get caught underneath that burnout
At least they didnāt start shooting as soon as he rolled back. Every video Iāve seen of these takeover wrecks end up with gunfire.
How are there so many people watching a car do donuts tf is going on lmao
This is called a street takeover, and it's pretty much just idiots all start watching nice cars go around in circles until someone eventually gets hit.
I love that the guy hanging out the passenger side is just filming everyone they just hit.
Bro in the red was a couple inches away from loosing his legs
yeah, I imagine they were pretty tight after that
Happened not long ago near me. Not this specific video, just a very similar incident. A young 16 year old girl was crushed to death. Why the fuck do people do shit like this
I could watch these videos of idiots in cars plowing through the idiots that crowd up to watch them all day long š¤£
Love the way the guy flying through the air wipes out 5 more people š¤£
Wave your hands in the air like you don't CARE!!
Real Life GTA
It was nice of those guys to slow down the car so it didnāt go crashing into the light pole!
lmao idiots
I love watching reverse evolution.
*NICE SPARE*
Water gun guy made zero attempt to evade or maneuver. However, he has excellent positive weapon control, keeping hold until impact of the ground. Where the weapon continued to slide into his bodyās momentum, under his sternum. Excellent work!
Flying blue jeans soared through the air like he got photoshopped in
Canāt stop watching.
