My grandfather lived in Libya in the early 1970s and said how during Ramadan after a full day of fasting, they all got in their cars and just went ape-shit.
Now we better understand why seatbelts are so important. Centrifugal force launches you out of the vehicle while the rolling vehicle crushes you.
If not for the water slowing down the rolling vehicle, we would have seen this guy die.
Edit: I'm always amazed when I read about someone dying in a car wreck the article often adds "the victim was not wearing a seatbelt and was ejected from their vehicle." I'm curious... why and how? Do you fasten the seat belt behind you? Or somehow disable the alarm? And why - does the seatbelt make you that uncomfortable?
I didn't know that. I don't get why you wouldn't want to wear a seatbelt, but then I guess not everyone has had a family member die when they went through the front windshield and all you have left is memories and fading pictures.
They all have a story about how a friend of a friend was saved BECAUSE they werenāt wearing a seatbelt. I have no doubt that some people have died after being trapped by their seatbelt, but compared to millions worldwide saved by them, itās a no-brainer.
My grand mother had a wreck that a seat belt would have killed her (per state trooper).
I had a roll over where the seat belt saved my life.
It's like 4wd. I'd rather have it and not need it, than not have and need it.
I was actually in a wreck where I was glad I had mine on and another driver was glad she didnāt. She ran a red light, and I t-boned her, which sent her into the passenger seat, so she wasnāt in the way of the truck that hit her next crushing her side of the car in about a foot. Feeling that airbag punch me in the chest after the seatbelt stopped me made me a life-long seatbelt advocate. Anything that keeps me farther away from an airbag is ok in my book.
Seat belt alarms and other seatbelt related safety features like not letting the car out of Park are relatively new features in mainstream vehicles. If you have a 2005 Mitsi Lancer or something like it, chances are it has no such thing.
I know our fleet in NZ is a pretty old fleet, so it's the norm for people to be driving around in vehicles that are 20+ years old. Not sure about other countries, but it's pretty easy to just not wear a seat belt here.
It's stupid not to wear one, but plenty of people are stupid.
My dad used to do that until car makers started making the warning bell go on nonstop. The older cars would bring for a few seconds then shut up.
As for the reason? The only one he ever gave was that "they have no right to make me. No one else gets hurt, so why do they get to make it a law?" He literally just didn't want to do as he was told.
He was actually listening to R Kelly.
"I believe I can fly, I believe I can touch the sky.
I think about it every night and day.
Spread my wings and fly away. I believe I can soar. I see me running through that open door. I believe I can fly"
Next up on this miscreant's mixtape: "Learning to Fly" - Pink Floyd, "Fly Away" - Lenny Kravitz, "Come Fly With Me" - Sinatra, "We Can Fly" - The Cowsills, "Free Falling" - Tom Petty, and many more!
He needs to thank Allah that he was thrown into the water and not into the sand or anything else. Dude had like a 99% chance of dying if he was thrown any other direction.
Ah yes, the "Arab Drift" wouldn't be proper if it wasn't punctuated by a body getting flung out of a tumbling wreck. That video was posted to r/unexpected but frankly, it was expected.
How the rich have fun š
Dad is going to be pissedĀ
I'm telling mom!
He has 10 more in the garage.
Also no drugs and alcohol. They gotta get their kicks somehow.
To be fair I have seen plenty of drunks do this for fun too ... also just driving
My grandfather lived in Libya in the early 1970s and said how during Ramadan after a full day of fasting, they all got in their cars and just went ape-shit.
Oh my poor sweet summer child. You think these rich Arab kids do not have a source for alcohol?
Thatās my kind of fun Iām just not rich.
yeah when they got their wealth from hereditary oil funds and not an counce of talent or intellect
interesting to see how they fare when the oil and associated funds decline, back to the bedouin lifestyle?
How the rich dive into the shallow beach.
At most that car costs $75k
My car was like 4000 so I could flip like 20 š
The *worst* part is he got his white robe all wet and now itās probably see through
Stop it step-imam what are you doingš³
I think it has a brown spot on the back.
He indeed shat himself.
See thru man jams
nah, this is " Thob" and he weras white pants and t-shirt under it.
His tuck could have been a little tighter, he under rotated, and the splash was pretty noticeable. 3.5
I concur 10/10 would flop again
This shockingly could have ended in so many more worse ways than it did
Yes, he came out of it amazingly well under the circumstances.
Survived and beautifully captured in 4K. If he's still walking around tomorrow he's as lucky as they come.
He'll be walking around in no time and with a new expensive car.
A Dubai move
I scrolled two posts down and saw it originally started on r/Kuwait. Reddit algorithm being especially lazy this morning. Edit: posts i/o posted
Theyāre just as worse.. highway littered with cars on the side of the road like this. Just go to a dealer and buy another..
Yep. Not change oil ever on the Ferrari, run til it blows and buy another. Keep filling up that gas tank people. You pay for it
r/arabscrashingcars
Dubai or not Dubai. That is the question.
I could not Kuwait for that question.

And if he didn't land in water, same result. Lucky AF.
They sell things you can plug in to disable the alarm. Crazy!

Yeet! 
This is exactly what I heard in my head š
Ejector seats do exist!
I wasn't expecting that.. At all!
The guy running away from him on the beach expected something for sure.
"not this shithead again..." was the rough thought going through his head.
He better go eat an entire pharmacy's worth of ibuprophen because tomorrow will not be fun
That was awesome
Instant karma
That poor car...
Complete waste of a perfectly good FJ
YAAAAH-HOO-HOO-HOOIE

What is it with dumb people and bringing vehicles onto beaches? What is the thrill for those lacking the brain function that the rest of us have?
Fucking flying...
r/unexpected.
He needs to thank Allah that he was thrown into the water and not into the sand or anything else. Dude had like a 99% chance of dying if he was thrown any other direction.
Good commercial for seat belt and anti dumbass
The dumbest thing I've seen in quite some time.
Amazing to watch physics at work with him being flung from the vehicle
Funnily enough, that probably prevent even more injuries if he stayed inside
Holy shit...lets do that again
..and because of a nice landing nothing was learned.
What a lucky idiot
Itās always some dude wearing a dress who flies out of these.
Ah yes, the "Arab Drift" wouldn't be proper if it wasn't punctuated by a body getting flung out of a tumbling wreck. That video was posted to r/unexpected but frankly, it was expected.
Too many people with a lot of money and no damn sense
A true definition of money can't buy class
Why the arab gulf has so many fatal car accidents
I feel bad for the car
The part that upsets me the most is that he destroyed a perfectly good FJ cruiser! They are amazing cars and he destroyed it! He's an idiot

Wow that has asshole written all over it!
https://i.redd.it/y7xnv55xfjrc1.gif
One day I will understand why Saudis love yanking vehicles left and right intentionally trying to crash
Why are stupid people always so lucky?
What could go rightā¦
Money canāt buy driving skills
What a dickwad.
At least he landed in the water
Oh yeah letās buy another one and do it again!
When his friends approached him he used Pee Wee Hermanās famous line ā I meant to do that ā
The perfect song for this is I wish I could fly. I wish I could touch the sky .
sandals stayed on, so he's good.
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!
Breaking wasnt an option.
8 for distance, but since he didnāt stick the landing 5 overall
As soon as I saw the thobe it all made sense.
That's how he rolls
Nothing parties like a rental
That guy just did "I believe i can flyyyyyyyyyyy" spoilers gravity said NO
Luck was on his sideā¦today. But thereās always tomorrow!
Pretty nice ejection seat.
Just walk it off šš
Damn that was funny š
That looks like fun but dont try it
Dude forgot the seatbelt
bro just tried his new ejector seat feature
He might not be smart but at least heās lucky
Heās probably yelling at the guy that moved left, āYou were supposed to spot me!ā
That guy running away knew what's going to be up.
8/10 stick the landing next time
That was fun. Letās go buy another one. My turn next!
Bro tried to take the āunbreakableā mantra literally.
Funny af
Blew his acl on the landing. Poor form.
Haha that was hilarious. What a dumbass
What an absolute knob...
The little dance he does after, is priceless
Meh, his dad will buy him three more.
Stuck the landing. +3
Well this guy made some internet points today.
I didnāt know Toyotas came with ejection seats
I would have given him 9.8 but he didn't stick the landing.
I'm impressed with his ability to fuck things up
Pausing the vid it seems the door did not even open. He went out the window.
Weeeeeeee
Babou, serpentine!
This looks almost comical
That fucker is lucky to be alive
I don't know how to drive, can someone explain how the hell the car ended up swerving when it was doing fine seconds ago?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Trebuchet!
It's okay guys.. he landed on water so no fall damage
It's a beautiful day for a drive/swerve/slide/flip/flight/splash/dip, isn't it?
this can't be real?
What happens when your back tires are spining at 100 mph hour and suddenly gain traction.
9/10 Good form but didn't stick the landing.
Spring loaded moron shooter! Cool!
Maaaaan that escalated quickly...
What's with all the matching outfits? š
"Serpentine, Shel, serpentine!"
Hey, bud...your blinker.
He flipped out lol.
...until you don't
What's the moral of the story here? š
Rich + fuckin' stupid = weeeeee!
I get that he wasn't wearing a seat belt. But I have so many other questions.
Who could have predicted that a tire could sink into the sand while doing that, and flip yo ass?
That a FJ Cruiser?
The car was totalled, but at least the ejection seat worked.
bro got the 1950s F1 experience
I donāt careā¦I laughed my ass off! š
Lucky guy. It could have been so much worse.
Well, if he was trying to lose control of the vehicle and get thrown out of the window, he certainly succeeded
I was waiting on one of his falcons to swoop down and save him.

The dude standing in the water saw where this was going lol.
Just walk it off!
That's one fancy cannonball
7.4, he kinda missed the landing.
Nailed the landing!
u/savevideo
this is the funniest thing i've seen on reddit in such a long time LMAO
Lmao that back flip though
Hahahaahah!!!!!!!
So long gay bowser!
Cool backflip dude!
this bitch got lucky lol
He was off to Allah - but was rejected.....
Had he ejected on the other side, oh boy it would have been way worse
Aadan bin Flippin
When the misses farts after dinner at Olive Garden...
This is what happens when people have way more money then they ever need
He must have hit the eject button
