According to Hollywood that gas station should have explode like a nuclear weapon.

[–]Hinks 17 points18 points ago

Something something Michael Bay.

[–]willpump4gas 6 points7 points ago

According to Michael bay, there should have been 3 nuclear explosions going off at the same time

According to M. Night Shyamalan, the man never really existed.

According to David Lynch, he's sleeping with his dead sister.

[–]JtiksPies 1 point2 points ago

According to Frued, it's because he was neglected as a child

According to Tim Burton, he's an outsider played by Johnny Depp

[–]universal_straw 21 points22 points ago

That guy looks like he might have shit himself. Understandable in the situation.

[–]load_more_comets 13 points14 points ago

Compared to myself, that man has the reflexes of a mongoose. I would've stood there and let the door hit me in my dumb face before I even knew that the truck was coming.

"Reddit, two trucks collided right in front of me, and one is headed right towards me at a lethal velocity. What should I do?"

[–]ACE_C0ND0R 6 points7 points ago

I just got hit in the face by a door from a dump truck. AMA

[–]gromenawer 5 points6 points ago

Here are my pics when a door hit in [m]e in the face for the first ti[m]e; I'm shy :-)

Door hit me in the face [x-post from r/gore]

[–]flickingitoff 9 points10 points ago

At least he saw it coming! The guy that falls out of the truck at the end of the clip must have shat bricks!!

[–]winegums 7 points8 points ago

I didn't even see that guy! I thought he was random debris/cargo.

[–]24637 5 points6 points ago

I am pretty sure it happened in saint Petersburg, Russia. At least I think I used to pass that lukoil petrol station on my way from work.

My bad. It was Orienburg. But still Russia :)

[–]Machinax 4 points5 points ago

Russia

Well, that explains everything.

[–]beltran63 4 points5 points ago

What do we say to the god of death? Not today.

[–]UsuallyJustLurking 5 points6 points ago

Does anyone else feel like the camera car should have been able to avoid this (even though he had the right of way) if the driver was paying attention?

[–]fondupot 16 points17 points ago

No. That truck turns right in front of them and the vehicle with the camera is going pretty fast.

And Im pretty sure the vehicle with the camera might be another truck with a trailer. You see how it it pretty much plows that dump truck right out of the way. Also, judging by the height of the camera.

[–]the-knife 2 points3 points ago

Too much momentum to stop in time, plus everything looks smaller on video. He was only 100 feet away from the gas station when the truck drove on his lane.

[–]UsuallyJustLurking 0 points1 point ago

Ya, you're right... It's probably another truck.

[–]importantnameselectn 2 points3 points ago

I really want to make a clever comment, but everytime I see it my jaw kinda drops and I start laughing I a nerous way before uttering"holy shit...."

[–]Droidiq 0 points1 point ago

Oh Russia, Russia.....

[–]spork_it 0 points1 point ago

Much urine was spilled this day.

[–]Bowlgd84 0 points1 point ago

Is there a subreddit that has a whole bunch of these dash cam crashes?

[–]uv0001 1 point2 points ago

Anyone have a link to the actual video?

[–]JtiksPies 1 point2 points ago

it would be on cracked...

[–]MRodicus 0 points1 point ago

It still perplexes me why people with these dashboard cams don't slow down or even get into a different lane

[–]chukklhed 0 points1 point ago

That guy could use a hug.

[–]PocketBuckle 0 points1 point ago

[–]JtiksPies 0 points1 point ago

Can't tell who's the lucky one, the guy in the gif or the guy filming the gif

[–]zitfarmer 0 points1 point ago

Id sue for catching my sissy side.

[–]mikalshorti 0 points1 point ago

Maybe he won't die but the other dude in the back of the truck might...

[–]PT4MYDJ 0 points1 point ago

Why would you be filming

[–]deadstump 3 points4 points ago

Apparently in Russia many insurance companies require the insured to have dash cameras due to a lot of people doing stupid shit to file a claim (jumping in front of cars, swoop and squats, and other insurance bullshit). This has of course been a boon for crazy internet car videos for two reasons, 1: people in Russia drive like maniacs, and 2: the sheer volume of video being collected.

[–]24637 0 points1 point ago

Correct. All of it. Especially the maniac part.
