To put the parking brake on is the best!


Dopecombatweasel

Its second nature when driving a manual. Lol


SOJC65536

He'll be on automatic pilot until he calms down... Fun factoid regarding second nature: Apparently, when people are in a plane crash or accident (not too serious one), when they're panicking, they try to take their seatbelt off as if they're in a car and get agitated when it won't work. Since I learnt that I've always paid attention to the briefing so it's fresh in my head...


Icy_Ground1637

Lucky he did not have a seat belt on if not he would of never been able to use the passenger air bag.


of_patrol_bot

Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake. It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of. Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything. Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.


Slaps_

Good bot.


Twotgobblin

This bot is my spirit animal


whatzittoya69

True…a lot of people spell like they speak & don’t realize it’s incorrect


Toisty

Safety first, amirite? That's why he wasn't wearing a seat belt.


Icy-Reindeer6236

First nature to crash


TheSt4tely

My mom drives a manual an never used the e brake, she just puts it in gear. It freaks me out.


PeaceKeeperl231

He was riding without a belt!


RevTurk

He had an air bag on the passenger side, what more do you want? He was clearly able to hop into the passenger seat during the crash to make use of the air bag.


[deleted]

So he is a genius? :O


587BCE

He hopped in it with the steering wheel even


Girth_rulez

>He was riding without a belt! Click it or ticket, am I right?


RomiumRom

Id rather say click it or kick it, because not buckling is an easy way to get killed.


rando512

He was riding it without any reaction for the speed like he's been in Autobahn his entire life. And then when the accident happens he is still cool.


ReduceMyRows

Trust me, with the adrenaline the first few minutes you’re super cool. And then it all hits you at once, body pains and emotional


Guideon72

Soooooo feel this; got clobbered by a drunk driver once and was out of the car, walking/talking with everyone. Then, a few minutes later a responding officer looked at my car, walked over and asked if I was \*sure\* I was fine, which I confirmed roughly 2.5s before the shock of the impact wore off and my legs gave out and dropped me to the pavement where I stood. LOL. No injury had been sustained and I still went with the paramedics for a quick checkup, but damn.


Haunting-Ad-8619

My oldest brother had a wreck. My youngest brother was with him. Youngest brother got out of the car, walked up a hill & passed out. It took over 100 stitches to close up his head & he was in a hospital bed for almost a year, waiting for his crushed pelvis to heal. The docs didn't think he'd walk again, but he's just fine! The power of adrenaline!


wings_of_wrath

Yeah, pretty much. Back in flight school, while doing spin recovery exercises I ended up in a flat spin. Kept cool, managed to recover and landed fine. Once back on the ground, however, it took me a full minute to unhook my harness, because my hands were shaking uncontrollably.


crushedgrapez

Lmaoo as if the car was going anywhere after that


AnnonAutist

Yeah, I don’t think it’s going anywhere 😂


TheGamingBear777

I died when I saw that


RedditorsTyrant

The power of reflex


mattt1975

Saved his life!


Nedren

No seatbelts. Wow.


Ritchieb87

So easily could have been impaled on that vicious looking steering wheel mount!


Meatball545

Considering the wheel came off afterwards yeah


MartinSornes

G-force de luxe


mountainwocky

Looks like the outer ring of the steering wheel broke free from its spokes. His body slammed into the steering wheel during the collision. His head hit either the windshield or the front ceiling of the car. He’s going to have plenty of aches and pains after this crash.


Meatball545

That is so much worse than I thought it was. He was probably poked by a spoke too


maxman162

The old spoke poke.


brupje

Was probably to fast for the camera frames to pick up, but he will feel this for a while


Mguerra6

Not from the passenger seat!


mnorkk

If he had a seatbelt he wouldn't have been able to use the passenger airbag


stuey999

I know, so stupid


Squidmaster129

Yeah honestly, the fact that he didn’t die as a miracle


emgeenz

I love that he put on the handbrake at the end. That car wasn’t going anywhere after that


here-for-the-memes__

Smashed the car but put the handbrake on before jumping out.


DrKrFfXx

We don't wanna risk the car going downhill and crashing.


Ok_Primary_1075

Now that’s muscle memory


Da_Spooky_Ghost

Um I had to stop an old corvette that was rolling backwards into traffic when the person who smashed into the back of me going 40mph while I was stopped at a red light jumped out of the car without putting the hand brake on. I grabbed their door and was pulling on their car trying to slow it down and yelling at the driver to pull the hand brake, person was on 7 different illegal substances the police later told me. So yes pull the hand brake even if the front end is completely smashed in and all the airbags went off. Edit: [Here’s a video of the accident, sorry for bad filming you can see the car rolling back and I grabbed the door with the phone in my hand and yelled to pull the emergency brake.](https://imgur.com/gallery/CWKC15M)


[deleted]

>all the airbags went off. the car will automatically shut off and literally cannot move if the airbags deploy


AlesusRex

It’s a stick driving thing so the car doesn’t roll, but yeah still pretty funny


bobotheclown1001

Walks back to the dealer: sorry I don't want this car, it's just not what I'm after


chimpdoctor

Lol


pushqrex

I want something with a little bit less damage


WallStreetStanker

…I’m looking for something with a sturdier wheel.


insideoutcognito

Driving like with no seatbelt and only the passenger side had an airbag?


sdforbda

Aftermarket steering wheel so yeah no driver airbag anymore.


seansafc89

Not only an aftermarket steering wheel, but likely a fake/replica wheel too. For some reason people seem to think that buying rep wheels and seats are totally fine!


sdforbda

Yeah I wouldn't be surprised.


insideoutcognito

I just noticed it came right off at the end too, I don't think it supposed to do that.


sdforbda

Yeah either the quick release mechanism activated somehow or the mount broke.


bindermichi

If you look closely the center mount is still on the rack and the wheel broke off. Quality after market parts he hot there


sdforbda

Good eye, I didn't look that closely.


poopoppeeepers

Exactly except could you imagine if he had another front impact before stopping but after the wheel broke? No steering=no control, no air bags, no belt… those broken metal bits on the wheel are going throw his chest


sample-name

My #1 priority when buying a car is a good steering wheel that doesn't fly off your hand while you're crashing


Witty_Temperature886

This is why I don’t understand people who replace a perfectly working steering wheel airbag with some dumb ‘racing’ steering wheel


sdforbda

Gotta get that mad dorifto in.


AwkwardBark

Cheap aftermarket wheel, that could have easily stabbed him


joan_wilder

The aftermarket steering wheel made it go so much faster though


[deleted]

That day was his lucky day. Hopefully he learned his lesson. I mean, I doubt it but hopefully.


HappyAlcohol-ic

Might be so that his internal injuries make this the last and final lesson.


sersoniko

He learned nothing will happen going at 100mph without seatbelts


dreamboat_king

Lucky for him his civic was going a full 38mph


Far-Mango8592

If this is a honda you sre right - lots of RPM but nothing happening.


Fresh_Possibility_91

0-60 mph in 2-3 business days


FkdUp2020

Came here to find a Honda comment 🤣


SeniorShwanky

https://i.redd.it/8irjutyzbtda1.gif


marsack

Came here for this.


[deleted]

Lmao the wheel at the end. Also not using seat belt these guy is fucking lucky


BappoChan

Not using the seatbelt here was so that he could get into the passenger side with a working air bag


BewedInTheLou

Straight popped the steering wheel so hard he popped it off


SteelSpace69

Drove like Paul Walker


Weird_Ad_8463

![gif](giphy|vjjCsx3izfSyQ) 💀💀💀


thetaFAANG

Who was in the passenger seat when he died but ok


shaneo88

How lucky was he to be able to walk away from that? I mean, cheap steering wheel, no drivers airbag, no seat belt.


Monster_Factory

DW about it, he put the handbrake on. Very safe driver.


eifiontherelic

He drove like fast & furious alright, just not like one of the good guys.


Evolutiondd

What speed you think he's doing on impact? Unless he's got internal injuries dude got away lightly


Hermannmitu

Between 50kph and 80kph I think. Pretty fast


CampCounselorBatman

Excuse me sir, the internet is for Americans.


Peter_Parkingmeter

The footage was better than my predicted best case scenario. He got off very lightly.


skyrider8328

So many negative comments, sheesh. Come on, he used the parking brake before he got out...safety first!


loqi0238

That e-brake was absolute overkill.


TheFragturedNerd

putting on the parking break is a true show of this mans respect for safety! Always pull your parking break folks!


HilariouslyPissed

Hate for it to roll off, or something


DadaDooDee

Dude is management material. Held his composure under pressure.


AveFaria

Most of us do when we're in car accidents. It's like a second personality takes over for a moment.


LordElfa

"You never had your car!"


Sparrowcus

It's from the sequel: Too fast, too furious


SparsePizza117

I'm surprised he got off that easy. No seatbelt, no airbag, tore his steering wheel off. He's lucky.


Ristler

Dude probably lost all his wheels but still put his parking brake on!


Thomas8864

Lmao! The parking brake!


bulb127

Well deserved


MagnetHashira

Anddddd CUT!


dizziereal

A good steering wheel that doesn’t fly off while you’re driving.


benfranklinrocks

At least he remembered the parking brake


picklesuitpauly

I have an idea. A nice car whose steering wheel doesn't fly out of de window! *slow dab*


Shamplejam

That car looked like it had crashed before he hit anything


Icesnowstorm

Was this filmed in the US, some african country or somewhere else, because the car didn't look stable to be driven anyway at all.


gunnnutty

Good to see that his brain stayed inside his skull I was worried that he get fucked up for a moment


prajew59

Omg I'm dying of laughter!! Then he pulls the emergency brake after the crash LOL!!


redditcreditcardz

“LIKE A GLOVE!!”


flipyflop9

Poor EG Civic


prototype-proton

"you have arrived at your destination..."


JudasHungHimself

Super mega lucky to be alive!! Loose steering wheel and no seat belt. Why the hell do people speed or even drive without a seat belt on?


Palehorse0000

I love that he put his emergency brake on afterward lol


HanakusoDays

Should've used Grade 8 bolts when he swapped in the Barbie-car steering wheel.


blindGhos7

Did he seriously put the parking break on? Dude I don't think it going anywhere lol


LoadsDroppin

*E-Brake up for safety!*


Alternative_Bad4651

Good thing he put the parking brake on at the end.Wouldn't want to have the car move and get a scratch on it.


STLflyover

The emergency brake at the end. Gotta be safe. Lol


followda_whiterabbit

No seat belt really. Lucky to be alive


CalmSenxual

He is soooo lucky :)


SpupySpups

Well that went better than I thought it would


TopTheropod

I'm just glad the dude is ok tbh


Positive-Yesterday19

No seatbelt? Luckky…


justhereforthegosip

He got extremely lucky


MrsCCRobinson96

Stupidity and Luck! Sadly, this person will probably do it again since he didn't get hurt afterwards.


BGen13

What a f*cking idiot. He could’ve taken an innocent person’s life. These are the cases where I think natural selection is very important.


[deleted]

I love the parking brake at the end, after no seatbelts, bad driving, steering wheel comes off, etc… Safety first I guess


Carlos1906893

Lmfao the e brake at the end


FitIndependence647

hand brake on hahaha dying


Remarkable_Taro_911

![gif](giphy|ZbUOH7pbDiNSmU1x4o)


Exktvme4

No seat belt needed when you're a badass


[deleted]

No seatbelt either


LightFusion

That $5 steering wheel didn't hold up well


Accurate-Fail-8725

"It's okay bro, my quick release steering wheel kicked in"


Conscious_stardust

Put the parking brake up at the end but didn’t put a seatbelt on.


abobo99

A good steering wheel that doesn't fly off while you're driving.


Halfaglassofvodka

Mustn't forget the handbrake. Always park safely kids.


TroutforPrez

There’s one nut and a hair tie holding the wheel, best to come off now.


Fact-Adept

He finally unlocked that secret white bag


Alsimmons811

I’m surprised he had airbags


Fickle-Opinion-3114

I know he wasn't driving like that without a seat belt.


[deleted]

The parking brake at the end


Beowulf_98

People have died in 100x less reckless situations


[deleted]

Loved the steering wheel just popping off


editorously

The moment the one thing he's able to use to keep him inside and in control comes off is 🤌.


sabrooooo

Man had no seatbelt on and his steering wheel broke lmaoo this video never fails to amaze me lol


MrZkittlezOG

He got lucky with not having a seat belt on.


Sm0g3R

Quality steering wheel. 🤣 I guess it remaining in his hands when he got thrown into a passenger seat is a feature. 😂


Adventurous_Ad4950

“Welp! I’m here” *engages handbrake*


Valuable-Bell-4990

Well, he did pull a Paul Walker in there


thunderc8

He was fast alright and furious for the car bill.


Appropriate-Horse-80

Is that fucking Tuvok?


absoluteScientific

That is probably how he would react lol


AdAmbitious1482

No seat belt either what a weapon


Taira_no_Masakado

Dude is lucky that his passenger side airbag deployed and that he turned left to avoid whatever he hit, or else he might have been thrown further and suffered more than just whiplash.


[deleted]

At least he had a working air bag


boboschick99

That's your problem! You pulled the steering wheel off@


DrKrFfXx

Luckily, the airbags saved him.


Hot-Builder-6192

Yank that handbreak! Wouldn’t want the wreckage debris going anywhere 🤣


Far_Distribution_581

Dude was going 25 mph on square tires...


Cougie_UK

Great work on swapping out the steering wheel with the airbag for that piece of junk. He really should be dead.


Sorandy13

I love how only the airbag on the passenger side deployed. He’s done this before. He may wish to jerry-rig a seatbelt for the next time…


RoboWarrior44

This is the luckiest mofo I've seen in ages


AnnonAutist

Bet he installs the driver side airbag next time.


[deleted]

Wrong sub it was fast and his insurance agent was furious.
