M3 drives off of cliff

Z1NONLY · 06-11-2013, 05:59 PM

At ZdayZ, the OP vid is the kind of thing I remind myself could happen to me, if I make the wrong mistake at the wrong time. I think about this every morning up there, while I'm drinking my mountain dew before the morning run.

I'm actually moderately impressed with the driver in the second vid. (after his obvious screw up) He straightened the wheel for impact and held onto it even after the airbag deployed.

He could have rolled that thing if he had tried to "hold" the turn.

He's definitely a kid. I don't think it's the same guy as the 1st vid, though.

As for holding on to the wheel, I don't think he had enough time to really do anything else.

He was too inexperienced to see that uphill mixed with that curve was about to wreak havok on his IRS. He didn't slow down when he was supposed to.

Lol, I knew it was two different drivers.

Second vid:
I see people argue with inertia (and lose) a lot. I don't think turning into the direction of inertia was a "trained" response, but rather (some) good instincts. -Too bad he didn't have better instincts on corner entry.

As for holding onto the wheel during an airbag deployment, I thankfully have no experience with such things, but I saw a firefighter's knees buckle when he was hit in the head with a late deployment while trying to clear a wrecked car.

First vid:
...And the first vid has a turn sign clearly depicting a 90 degree turn just before the off. I think that driver either got into the "red mist" or is just generally oblivious.

My oh my. Today is just my day to attract the angry.

I replied in that vid, and someone got mad and responded calling me an idiot. lol

I'm just glad they survived, didn't kill anyone else, and were able to post those videos as a PSA.

That's what happens when your car isn't setup right,plus you can't drive and you forgot to let your friend drive while you sit in the back.

Voice59 · 06-11-2013, 07:57 PM

I kind of laughed at the second kid. I mean damn.

Zbrah · 06-11-2013, 08:39 PM
