If real, this is one of the most incredibly shocking things I’ve seen all day. A crazy Russian dude apparently parked up in the middle of a motorway, got out and was hit by a car in another lane, flipping him completely end-over-end in the air before he lands hard on the tarmac.
Apparently the guy survived with just two broken legs, which honestly seems incredible to me. I mean, look at him go. I just can’t stop watching it. His mate in the back of the car seems to have had a very narrow escape too, jumping into the boot to save getting cut in half by another car crashing into them. Then again it could all be fake, I guess — what kind of mental underachiever parks up in the middle of a busy multi-lane road? [YouTube via Jalopnik]
I’d wager that the almost 400k views this video has had so far have been racked-up by maybe 100 people watching it over and over again (if my constant hitting of the refresh button for the last 10mins is anything to go by).
Holy… that’s a bit disturbing. You said man survives, not men, so that other guy looks like he got his legs shattered at least, ouch!
Haha I could watch that 100 times and it wouldn’t get old
Should have rolled forwards & finished the fucking idiot off.
Something weird happens at the moment of impact. It might just be that things change faster than the camera’s frame rate, but it looks a bit suspicious.
That and the guy getting hit seems to magically turn from stood up facing forward to facing backwards and upside down in the air.
I thought exactly this, and morbidly flicked back a few seconds about 10 times just to confirm. Surely he should’ve rolled over the car, too.
The fact that the guy in the landrover doesn’t brake until he’s practically on top of the stationary car with the man rooting around in the boot is odd, as well as the man hitting the VW and flipping even though he should have had his face planted onto the windscreen.
At the very least, the flip should have gone over the car.
Also, why are the two cars not braking hard? Doesn’t look real.
I saw this as a .gif the other day, had no idea it was being touted as genuine since it’s so obviously not-real.
I dunno, I’ve run a few people over in my time & it seems pretty genuine to me.
Looks fake to me. There’s a cut just as he hits him.
in the space of three or four frames he goes from standing facing the car to disappearing out of view to his legs in the air facing the other way… I say viral video about road safety
Cos there’s a big problem with people stopping for a picnic in the middle of motorways.
SKIDMARKS!
The 4×4 that hits the parked car doesn’t seem to make any, surely it would leave something?
If you watch this more than 100 times…you start to notice cool little details like a small section of the car falling off to the left and the guy that got hit losing his right shoe.
I know this because I can’t stop watching it.
I’ve been flipped up almost this dramatically (as in “arse over tit”) in Rugby tackles before…so I don’t really have a problem with that part being genuine…
I’m still undecided. Love the video in that I find it morbidly fascinating.
But I would guess that in your rugby tackles you didn’t have a car bonnet and windscreen impeding your face.
Perhaps not, but I wouldn’t say that to any of the Forward’s faces though…
100% fake, investigate the second’s 11-12, movements are unreal!
Obviously a fake
