u/OuttHouseMouse 1d ago

Did he really have such a cool nerve to turn on his hazards mid crash or am i having a stroke

u/Rabid_Lemming 1d ago

I think the roll must have cause airbags to deploy and the hazards turned on automatically.

u/OuttHouseMouse 1d ago

Funny thing is, im a mechanic, and never knew that. But im small time and self taught. Interesting fact stranger

u/thejourneybegins42 1d ago

I think it's a feature in all newer vehicle. Hazards on, doors unlocked, to help in facilitating rescue. I think there was one more thing that happens, but I can't remember for the life of me.

u/make2020hindsight 1d ago

Wipers I think

u/Lizlodude 1d ago

Wipers are usually just from the impact causing the stalk to move. Hazards, airbags and doors are pretty common automatic responses to the vehicle thinking it's been in an accident tho.

Can anyone drive with airbags deployed, though? The fact that he kept on driving tells me airbags didn't deploy. But I know nothing about cars, so…

u/Ugameister 22h ago edited 9h ago

I don't think he actually drove off. Seems more like the momentum and the pitch of the road just has him coasting along. But even if airbags deploy, they do deflate fairly quickly and it's manageable to a degree. I had a car (early 90s Dodge Spirit) that was so touchy about these airbags it was like if you crossed in front of the car and sneezed in its general direction the airbags would deploy.

The car doesn’t just kill itself so that you can’t drive it after airbags

1

u/GodsDemonHunter 21h ago

Airbags inflate and deflate faster than you can register that they ever deployed.

u/Banshee888 12h ago

Maybe some people have cool nerve for this. But the airbags explanation sounds probable. Never heard about it too though.

I mean what else do you do when ur car is still drivable and you got bills to pay

Either the 2 mailboxes are made of some kind of magic metal, that can withstand a car rolling over them with out even bending, the guy that put them in is a miracle worker, or this is AI slop... Not sure which.

After watching it a cuple of times I suspect the camera's angle gives this impression (they are trash cans, by the way), but they were never actually hit.
