One very very lucky bloke, dashcam content

Broncho · 01-06-2016, 04:04 PM

Jesus!

I clenched my own arse cheeks for him....

roshambo · 01-06-2016, 04:07 PM

Holy crap!! How he could only say "oh no" is beyond me! I'd have been yelling HOLY FUCKING SHIIIIIIT lol

73henny · 01-06-2016, 04:14 PM

Lucky boy. Subaru's are well screwed together - hardly looks like it suffered much more than a dent. Almost looks like its been placed there.

Tengocity · 01-06-2016, 04:53 PM

How the hell did he manage that?! Looked cold but not that icy so did he just carry too much speed and added a high degree of steering ineptitude?

jusdorange · 01-06-2016, 05:11 PM

Massive drops like that in SoF

Don't speed through tunnels kids

If you go the original video

http://youtu.be/S5NWcdq4Wf4

The comments state he was distracted by the man at the side of the road gesturing at him to slow down

Then hit brakes too late , swerved then off the side

Kal101 · 01-06-2016, 05:28 PM

That's one lucky dude

Credit for him for not swearing

SkyJawa · 01-07-2016, 03:43 AM

So lucky that was there to stop it rolling all the way down!!

A13x · 01-07-2016, 12:04 PM

My words would be "the wife is going to kill me!"

elusive · 01-07-2016, 12:34 PM

Holy shit! He's very lucky.

Wills2 · 01-08-2016, 03:14 PM

And he now knows the difference between traction and grip, lucky guy.

Watsey · 01-08-2016, 07:19 PM

Clueless. Having lost the back end, he must have still been on the throttle with the driven font wheels pulling the car into a tighter line across to the other side if the road. If you're going to attempt to power through the slide, at least give it some oppo.

Am I missing something. From the dash cam before crashes you can see the air duct on the bonnet. On the video after he stuffs it, I can't see a air duct on the bonnet?? Am I going blind??

It looks like them camera shifted and pointed skywards.

On the wider point though - holy shit!

It's still there just not on camera because the camera came off its mount.

I reckon it must be me, but, I'm referring to when the guy videos from the road side looking down to the crashed car. I can't see the scoop on the bonnet. Almost like it's not the same car?

Right I see what you mean now, I think it's just a rubbish camera, the quality of picture isn't good or it's the glare and probably a bit of both.

Do you not think it's the same car?

I dunno for sure but before he stuffs it, it looks and sounds like an Impreza. Post crash it doesn't??

I thought that as well. Probably is just glare in the 'after' shot but it's good not to automatically trust things you see on the internet!
