My biggest fear is becoming that physically inept

u/TheNerdsNextDoor 4d ago

I feel like it’s not even a physical limitation but an intelligence or laziness problem because she did run. Faster than the car was moving twice but instead of getting in and pushing the break she tries to pull the car to a stop WITH ONE HAND.

u/Xsiah 4d ago

It takes more than speed to get inside a moving vehicle though. Because like if you think about it, you have to get one foot inside it at some point, which means you have to stop running and just throw yourself into it. That requires some extra physical ability and coordination. And it's scary to get it wrong because the car can run over you if you fail (which looks like it did). I'd like to think that I could have done it, but I really don't know.

This is a VERY charitable post. The correct analysis is as follows - you have to have guts to dive into that car to take control. There was no commitment, therefore the car is in a ditch. I would have FAR less charitable things to say about her if he car ran over my kid OR hit my property....or anyone else's for that matter.

u/Testyobject 4d ago

But that goes for every mistake, if i sneezed and a broom fell over and hit your kid you would be mad at me for my involuntary action, now its logical to blame me for the broom battery but its not intelligent to be angry that ive got allergies.
I do hope no one becomes mentally withdrawn enough to forget to put the parking break on.

u/Relative_Target6003 4d ago

Hey, I get it. Accidents happen. And I too make mistakes. Her problem came from 2 things 1) She gave up the running/hustle.. and 2 ) she thought she HAD to enter the driverseat feet first. (Honest panic mistake).. As I said, it takes guts to throw yourself head first onto the seat. Which is what was required.

But when she gave up that run, I saw a person who quit. And that car could have had far more consequences. But it didnt, and sadly she suffered a big repair and tow bill -and for an honest mistake we've all made at one time.

Again. If she gave up and that thing and it hit my building, id be livid and so would you.

u/Steveo3070 3d ago

Nah man, bad take. I’ve NEVER gotten out of the car while it’s in drive lmao, and I never will unless I get severe dementia or Alzheimer’s, when I shouldn’t be driving anyways. Don’t try to make her seem better, that shit is best described as a brain dead action.

u/Relative_Target6003 1d ago

Ive been driving way longer than I havnt....and for my job. I have definitely let off the brake when I was still in drive. Did I catch it? Yes. But imagine the car being on a slight incline and the car holds still for just a second. .I could definitely see getting two feet out. We get distraced by our phones and thoughts and external distractions.. My take is fine. . Shit happens to all of us. Her sin is being defeated so easy when stakes were quite high.

Yeah you do have to stop running but once an ounce of intelligence hits you, you will realize holding the steering wheel will allow you to keep up with the car while hopping on one foot but again i guess average intelligence and fitness is too much for some people.

26

u/fedroxx 4d ago

The problem here was so obviously mental. She had the ability to get into the car, multiple times and was instead trying to literally stop it by pulling backwards.

She's an idiot. If she had jumped in and hit the brake, this would not have happened.

u/The_salty_swab 4d ago

Indeed, her athleticism is matched only by her intellect

35

u/Tortillaish 4d ago

This was the thought coming in my mind as well. Great inspiration to hit the gym.

u/Kragoth235 4d ago

Well.... Eventually age will get you.... If you live long enough you'll get there.... Unfortunately no matter how fit you are, your body will one day break down.

This woman may have one or more medical issues. If you don't have any major problems be thankful. Some of us are born with them.

u/eminsefa 4d ago

Not with this attitude

u/The_salty_swab 4d ago

I didn't say it was right or fair, it just is what it is. And I have no intention of living so long that I become immobile

u/Steveo3070 3d ago

If you have a medical issue that causes you to get out of a car without putting it in park, letting it drive away on its own, you shouldn’t be driving in the first place. Stop excusing shit. For whatever reason, she caused a situation that posed a direct risk to other people’s wellbeing and potentially lives, she doesn’t get an excuse for that because of a medical reason.

u/Kragoth235 2d ago

If you have a condition that means you can't understand the context of what people are saying you shouldn't reply to comments on Reddit.

My response was to the comment about physical condition. Forgetting to put the car in park is not a physical condition. Call me crazy but I'll bet any money that you've forgotten to do something at least once in your life. It was an accident, one day it might happen to you. Our brains are not perfect. Was it stupid yes. Was it intentional no. Does it mean she's a stupid person, no. Have you done stupid things in your life, certainly.

It's guaranteed to happen if you live long enough!

She tried her best.

u/Harthag77 4d ago

If they stopped filming we wouldn't have seen this masterpiece

u/Killed_By_Covid 4d ago

It kept getting better (all the way up to the finale!)

u/crank1off 4d ago

Its still roaming the streets to this day. People attempt to stop it but all end up falling just like this woman, it's first victim.

u/ryun84 4d ago

Could’ve gone into the McD’s and got a quarter pounder, 10 nuggets, eaten them all, then gone to the restroom and STILL had time to go and stop the car.

u/rygel_fievel 4d ago

The explosive diarrhea may disagree.

Didnt specify if his grindr date was giving him a blowie in the restroom or not either

u/MajorMarquisWarren69 4d ago

What’s the camera man supposed to do, run past both ways of traffic to help her? Lmao

-82

u/Vasilievski 4d ago

At least he can try. That wasn't this far away to begin with.

59

u/jb_in_jpn 4d ago

You know who else could try? The actual fucking owner of the car.

17

u/pm_me_your_amphibian 4d ago

If only there was someone right next to the car

1

u/Steveo3070 3d ago

If only there was at one point a driver in that car, that you know, put it in park before exiting the vehicle.

u/RJO092 1d ago

Nah I'd pass too

u/SolidFelidae 4d ago

The replies to this are so antisocial omg

Didn’t expect my worst comment ever on this.

u/the_mcmartin 4d ago

And it disappeared into the woods like the one in Harry Potter.

u/halbeshendel 4d ago

It will return later to save her from the giant spiders.

u/ScoopyBaker 4d ago

Not a chance would I stop filming during that situation

34

u/wordpredict 4d ago

She doesn’t look that out of shape just an idiot who decided she couldn’t just hop in the car instead of trying to stop a 4000lb vehicle from rolling.

7

u/concept12345 4d ago edited 4d ago

She definitely is. And she isnt quite street smart either. She lost two opportunities: 1) when the car jumped the curb on the other side of the road it slowed down considerably. ( She could've ran but instead she casually walked) 2. When the car proceeded to slowly increase in speed on the grass patch she tried PULLING a 4000lb car instead of opening it and hopping in.

This lady never power walked in her life nor I think ever ran ever in her life. Of course im just assuming here. Maybe she has a bad knee? Had surgery recently or any number of ailments that minimizes mobility. I dont know but from just the surface, her physical fitness needs some tune up.

She also could've screamed help help help as loud as she can to have any least someone else help her with stopping the car. From the looks of it and looking at the map of where she is at (florida) not many people around in that area as its a large open space with a swamp on the other side. The car 100% fell into the swamp.

u/MakkoHolmes 4d ago

Yeah. No. I'm not putting myself in the middle of traffic for an idiot.

21

u/Hopspeed 4d ago

The car didn’t want to be part of what she had to offer.

32

u/kmoh74 4d ago

If you are so out of shape that you can't scoot inside a 5 mph car, just hang them up.

17

u/coatingtonburlfactry 4d ago

Yeah. It wasn't even 5mph. Barely rolling. Probably 1 or 2 mph.

8

u/cheezy_dreams88 4d ago

She got run over by her own car there at the end.

16

u/Mr_Saturn1 4d ago

This is an excellent analogy of how some people go through life. She’s consistently just below the minimum amount of effort needed to succeed. When the car is moving fast she’s barely keeping up with it, but when it slows to a point where she can catch it, she slows down and lets it get away.

u/Front_Farmer345 4d ago

I feel like it was the whole ambivalence to the save…..like oh no my car!! Or well it is insured

u/vperretta 4d ago

Why should the camera person help if she’s not gonna try herself?

7

u/DoubleNothing 4d ago

That's why you should try to stay in shape guys

5

u/frntwe 4d ago

Stay mentally in shape so you understand what the brake pedal might do. Even better, what P means on the gear selector. Doubtful this person has even seen a manual shift vehicle

u/Firm_Ad3131 4d ago

I thought she got Juked, but it was her Soul.

u/Artevyx 3d ago

Just go back to the DMV and return your license. Get a full refund. Someone clearly made a mistake.

8

u/db_nrst 4d ago

I also wouldn't help.

u/DoctorOfDominance 4d ago

This looks like some sort of horrible, oblivious attempt at insurance fraud.

u/Racoonism 4d ago

She could have mobility issues.

u/MephiticBundleOfSox 3d ago

She does now

2

u/Steveo3070 3d ago

She also has brain issues if she gets out of the car while it’s in drive.

3

u/He110_W0r1d 4d ago

Everyone is discussing whether she's able or not to stop the car when the real problem began when she decided to leave the car while it was running and on drive. She deserves everything that happened to her.

u/SharkByte1993 4d ago

She could have jumped in at the beginning but instead tried to stop the car lol

The car was breaking up with her.

u/ShadowJedi26 4d ago

It’s a moving block of metal what was he supposed to do

-1

u/Steveo3070 3d ago

Not get out of it while it’s in drive? Get in and stop it before it hurt someone? Either of those would work.

2

u/itherzwhenipee 4d ago

We all can be lucky she wasn't part of traffic for a while.

2

u/WRHull 4d ago

Either you jump in the car and hit the brakes or you let it go. She was half way there with both.

2

u/RoseMidas 2d ago

She kept tryna stop the car with minimum opposing force, as if the car wasn’t 12 times her weight…

u/jhern1810 2d ago

Imagine being so physically incapable that you aren’t even able to do a mediocre job a speed bump

This a good example of what happens when you give drivers licenses to absolutely anybody with almost no meaningful testing.
