saw this today at 5:20 leaving bcit after picking my girlfriend up. the wind caused the gate to open right as this guy was making his left into the bcit lots. sucks for him and his car but fuck he's lucky to still have his head. guy was walking around no blood or anything just pissed. i missed the actual thing happening by no more the 30 seconds.

glad he is ok, now go get paid dude

[Kim Jong Un]

holy shit! lucky indeed

but if that was my car, man i would just break down and cry LOL

[boostfever]

damn, i'd say he's very lucky. good to know nobody was hurt.

it's a car, it can get fixed.

[k3lv]

wow the result is deadly. Opens my eyes about going through the gates regardless if its windy or not... good to know the driver is alright.

[124Y]

Holy shit... this is like a typical Final Destination scenario...:eek:

[jackal]

it's a car, it can get fixed.

the gate actually ripped the rad support right off.

[hotong]

damn... glad he is ok

[Si]

:eek2:seriously how the hell does that happen... damnit. Rips the hood open? by the looks of it the end of the gate is actually lower, but it's been lifted by the car...

can't imagine how that must've felt, going past your head

[k20a]

He's a friend of mine. He is ok, but still very shocked I guess.

[Shun Izaki]

That's one way to get rid of an "STi" XD

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

HOLLY FUCKING SHIT!

he should be thankful that he is still walking


WOW!

[ajax]

OUCH! I've seen this STi a few times at school. I think your buddy caught me admiring his volks one time :p

[racerman88]

should talk to the school about liability. The gates should be secured. Good thing there was no injuries.

[GabAlmighty]

Ya, if he's got any debts to pay... You can always sue the school haha.

Glad he's alright, that's a pretty freak accident.

[alex.w *//]

how come the hood was open?

[Kim Jong Un]

how come the hood was open?

do you need captain obvious to save the day? :rolleyes:

[Peelring]

holly shit !!! WTF so sad :( I remember this sti along with another white one in surrey on 152nd. ce28 yummie..

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

[Kim Jong Un]

^explain to him how the hood was open

[spoon.ek9]

wow.. close call. that shit would be pretty traumatic.

[orange7]

HOLY SHIT!

I thought SOB was going to be a canucks player.

almost head shot..

[TOPEC]

wow, just wow, glad he's ok, super super close call.

and ya i believe the school should be liable for this.

[JSALES]

holy shit! nice subaru too

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

wow.. close call. that shit would be pretty traumatic.

enough to shit my pants, hell anyone's pants

[tiger_handheld]

how does this even happen?

why is the guys hood open?

[!Tigger]

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

[shenmecar]

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

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

[fliptuner]

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]

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.

[maxxxboost]

Jebus.
Shitty.
Wonder how fast he was going.s

[jpoon]

Don't know him personally but I just found out. Gf's friend's brother. So glad he's okay, my goodness. =|

[TRD Rs200]

glad he's ok too bad for his sti

[tonyvu]

holly shit, glad the guys okay.

cars can be fixed

[TOS'd]

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

[penner2k]

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

[TypeRNammer]

Wonder what insurance this is covered under...

[!Aznboi128]

o man that sucks.... good that the driver's okay

[Culture_Vulture]

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

[saiko]

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]

Wow. Unreal.

[jtanner_]

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

[k20a]

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

NOPE to all.

It's written off.

[Meowjin]

how does this even happen?

[jackal]

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

yeah its right up there with the gtr trying to do drive through atm at vancity on victoria

[SolidPenguin]

Imagine if that was a guy on a motorcycle. shit

The owner of the STi is on nasioc too. Scary stuff

[Fobman]

:eek3:

[slammer111]

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?

[StylinRed]

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:

yes

It's hard to see at this angle and stuff and with only outside pictures, but there is more that led to "written off". lol Owner has more pictures but I don't think he will want to share as he is most likely recovering still. ;)

[dnnk]

Vancouver's weather sucks sometimes.

[Jsunu]

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:




yes
Hmm to me it looks like the bar entered his left head light and the force the car moving foward the bar lifted up into the windshield, tearing open the hood. Well that i what I got from just 2 pictures.

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

Wonder what insurance this is covered under...

school should pay for it

[spoonek4]

school should pay for it

Yeah I would think so...for not securing that kinda stuff. It could be a kid riding a bike or guy just went out for a run in his neighborhood.

[nosaj]

shit...he just escaped death....
uhoh so that means hes haunted for the 2nd round :willnill:

[Kim Jong Un]

did you you guys not see that bump on the road?
it could of raise the car a bit and the bar just pry the hood right off.. i'm assuming

[Greenstoner]

BCIT shall be sue, big money too !!

[skillznrice]

wow...final destination.

[jpark]

uhh i cant even imagine if that hit his head

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

wow...final destination.

episode 5

[84civicracecar]

school wont take responsibilty ! i gaurentee that.
My wife slipped on ice in the parking lot last year and was hurt and she went to complain to the school and they said not their problem talk to security.
she talked to security and they said not their problem talk to impark

Impark controls the parking lots and gates, so we then had to call and bitch at impark for not properly looking after the lots and salting the walk ways, but they said we had no proof that they did anything wrong so we had no case.

So needless to say, its just gunna get run around for the liabilty and the school will deny anything and everything and throw all the blame on Impark, and icbc to take care of everything !

[84civicracecar]

theres no bump in the road there, it is smooth.

that gate at natural stance is MUCH lower, about the height of the headlights/radsupport/hood.
because he drove through it... it got pushed up to the highest point of the car which happened to be the top of the firewall/dashboard.

once the car was pulled back and out the gate sagged back down to its original height and i bet you the car's suspension was quite compressed down as well from the force of that angle on the lower bar.

i didn't witness it or was i driving, but i wouldn't be suprised if the gate alone pushing the car down to the ground and wedgeing into the firewall, is what actually stopped the car, not the driver hitting the brakes.

[tofu1413]

wonder if ICBC covers stuff for final destination-esque "accidents"

[Expresso]

That's kind of stupid, the school should take responsibility because all ground maintenance is handled by BCIT and not by Impark.

[84civicracecar]

but the gates control the parking lot which is controlled by impark....

see how thats gunna get the run around for blame and everyone is going to blame everyone else !!

[!Yaminashi]

This majorly would suck for the owner if he got the run around

I believe this is correct, I remember when I went to BCIT 9 years ago, seeing a guy in an Impark vehicle drive around unlocking and locking the gates at certain hours.

[Great68]

BCIT owns the property, so you'd think they should hold some liability...

I mean it should be BCIT's job to ensure their contractors do their work properly. I guarantee it's something that could be challenged in court if the STI guy wanted to take it that far...

[you!]

gate = 1
sti = 0

im pretty sure if u slap them with a letter by ur lawyer, they'd be shitting brix.
a call from u guys just because u slipped? no shit they gonna give u the run around.

[_TiDy_]

Oh wow that is just unlucky

[PDA_86]

Holy smokes... Amazing that the guy comes out with no physical injuries but hope his emotional injury heal soon from this.

[typ.]

Gate in car = more downforce!


...on a serious note.
Holy crap that's a close call. So glad he's still alive. Wouldve been brutal to see the other unfortunate ending.

Even the shittiest lawyer will be able to get this guy money in this case. Just send a letter to BCIT, Impark, and mother nature and their lawyers will be fighting each other over who is responsible. He could just let ICBC take care of it and they will sue whoever is responsible but he will most likely lose out on a bunch of money.

[optiblue]

holy shit~ talk about bad luck!

[sleazyho]

holy fuk that guys lucky he didnt get headshotted
sucks for his car though

[tacobell]

Pretty simple

1. Get yourself a lawyer
2. Sue Impark AND BCIT
3. ???
4. Profit

[ak6]

wow that is unreal... he's really lucky he walked out okay

[Greenstoner]

i would think something like this would be on the news

[greendb7]

I would be traumatized as shit if that happened to me

[Gumby]

Wow, what a freak accident...

I wouldn't mind hearing the unlucky/lucky guy's side of the story, although he's probably traumatized by this incident (and understandably so).

[Tegra_Devil]

thats pretty cool/strange

[JV6]

Im glad he's ok, sorry for the ride :(

[umpadupa]

FK man.. tahts a bad way 2 see a good sti go..

[TouringTeg]

wow glad he is ok

[MDMA]
