The Sudden Stop

Think of my signature motto when you watch this video.
Cruiser cam catches 100 mph crash

Man, that guy went FLYING!


I bet that was the best (and worse) 3 seconds of his life.

(Probably the last 3 seconds of his life, too)

He's alive and was awake and alert after the crash.

Ejected--now he will become the poster boy for the no-seatbelt idiots.

Critical condition.

IMO darn shame a fool like that lived when so many need the organs he could have donated. Of course if the brain were transplantable, his would have been worthless to the recipient....

I like the report, speed may have been a factor. I've never seen a crash like that at 25mph, so I think speed had alot to do with it

I've only seen cars come apart and fly like that at the race track.

And another GM bites the dust.

In watching the video, it looks like he doesn't hit the brakes until he's in the air. Incredible.

Yeah, people die in much less serious wrecks and this yahoooo lives. At least he's not messed up bad enough that the taxpayer will have to foot the bill for his care...just his room & board for a little while.

happened about 30 minutes up the road from me. I heard on the news that he had just got out of jail about a half hour before he wrecked the car.

Yup....probably didn't realize he'd run off the road. Hard to look at the road and react with his head up his ****.

Gotta love it with the Knight Rider theme behind it.

Maybe he was late to meet his Meth dealer???
Looks rather intentional to me.
Good luck Brennan... I have a feeling you'll be back inside as soon as you get out of traction.

That's funny with the Knight rider theme, but in the show he always lands safely. Would love to see the shots of when they didn't get the take right. Would most likely look something like this guy.

I would just have liked to have seen the look on his face right before impact. I bet there's still a wad of seat foam clenched between his cheeks.

I'm not sure if this is ok to post here, but seemed like a good place to post stuff about horrific crashes.

My brothers Mentor for truck driving just got killed driving his semi. From what my brother told me he hit a bridge that had sunk and was no longer the height it was signed as. He was carrying a full load of liquor and it ignited upon impact and the hole thing went up in flames and was burned to death very quickly. Sad day, he was a great mentor to my brother and 100's of other truckers, he mentored for over 30 years. He will be greatly missed.

We could go on all day. Check your brakes, park it if it ain't right.
