how does this even happen?

why is the guys hood open?

!Tigger 05-03-2010 08:52 PM

THE gate is lower its around the rad support. it broke the headlight broke the rad support thats under the hood. went up through the hood causing it to open. going through the windshield. though the open window

wow, he must be thankful that hes still alive after that.

Then go to the nearest gas station to buy a lottery ticket.

Way to snap some pics OP!!!

That guy is suuuuper lucky.

I wonder if it's a write-off if the cowl section is messed up?

chris_89T 05-03-2010 10:23 PM

I dont know if id consider this super lucky or super unlucky. Lucky hes alive, unlucky it happened to him. That is some final destination shit right there. I will definately be more careful next time i see a yellow gate, things like this really make you think twice.

TOS'd 05-03-2010 11:59 PM

Good to see hes doing alright though, could have been ugly.

penner2k 05-04-2010 12:04 AM

Hopefully he is first year... Something tells me if he is he wont be paying for his education. lol

TypeRNammer 05-04-2010 12:07 AM

Wonder what insurance this is covered under...

!Aznboi128 05-04-2010 12:09 AM

:lol this would make the top 10 auto related accidents of all times any day

Who's the owner? He should be on my dodgeball team! I would be dumbfounded by the initial impact, that I wouldn't be able to dodge that coming through..

Glad to hear the driver walked away, and goddamn, can't anyone just take the extra effort in their job to ensure safety anymore?! So many slackers..

InvisibleSoul 05-04-2010 12:37 AM

Wow. Unreal.

jtanner_ 05-04-2010 12:37 AM

Oh my god... how does coverage work for this? That's inches away from his head... definitely agree with the whole final destination scenario... Wonder if he's there for auto, definitely lucky he's alright

Imagine if that was a guy on a motorcycle. shit

Fobman 05-04-2010 01:49 AM

:eek3:

slammer111 05-04-2010 04:57 AM

Wow, a few inches over and he'd have a bar through his face. :eek: *shrudder*

Car looks pretty repairable. New bumper, headlight, hood, windshield.. doesn't look like structural damage.

Anyone else have any additional photos of said incident?

i don't understand how the hood is open... it doesn't seem possible at all... look at the height from where the bar starts... its already over the hood

:confused: :confused:
