Small crash

[Alex H]

This is what happens when you let teenagers play with big cars. (And when it rains on cars with slicks.) No injuries. The onboard view shows the best footage.

When you crash, are you meant to let go of the steering wheel, and let it run loose?...

Yep, that way you don't break thumbs.

Yeah, if you keep hold of the steering wheel and the armco catches your wheel, it'll rip your thumbs off.

Ahhhhh I C, but obviously doesn't apply to "the real world" right?

Looked like a sissy girl when he did it.. but i would do that if i wanted my thumbs!

See alot of rally drivers cross their arms tight to there chest not to brake their arms flapping around in a crash aswell.

The onboard view was a good watch, would have be hell of adreniline while realising where you were with all the pack coming towards your car.

Well, in the 'real world' the airbag could go off too and break your wrists if your arms are 'crossed' while turning. Doubt you would actually take your hands off the wheel if you crashed on the road though. Probably make you liable for something or other. You'd definately have to make a conscious decision to do it at the very last moment.

Also noticed in the video, but i bet when he was getting out of his own car, and seeing another car hit the side rails, what he was thinking was probably...

"Holy f**k, im outtta here!"

 

[Naith]

carnage, silly little beans

 

[MarcoB]

When I realised I was sliding sideways towards a wall similar to this guy I let go of the wheel. Just waited for the bang...

Do you mean as in, the insurance will say "so... did you let go of the steering wheel sir?"

"yes "

"No monies."

FOOOOOOK. That gravel trap didn't do it's job at all! I can't believe the in car telemetry for the car that missed him, barely on the brakes and a slight swerve!
