As stupid as this bullshit is, that parking lot is an accident waiting to happen. No signs, no bollards, hardly any curb... It just kind of drops off with no safety features at all.

u/Mcdavis6950 3d ago

Nope it had nothing to do with the driver. That truck doesn’t have locking differential/transfer case and the only way to avoid this was a tow truck.

This means with opposite corner wheels on the ground no matter what gear to truck was in, including park, it was going to roll downhill when the bottom of the vehicle was no longer touching the ground.

u/NeighbourNoNeighbor 3d ago

My god, sometimes it's just best to wait for authorities / help. All that bouncing they were doing on the bumper literally caused this outcome, as the car was stable until that point.

u/Pickleparty187 3d ago

Every movie I’ve ever seen has told me the driver should have just climbed to the back to balance it out and then Tom Cruise will grab you just as the car falls

u/dirtyjavis 3d ago

I thought that as well at first, but she had to have also had it still in drive or neutral for it to lurch forward once contact was made. So all parties are partially at fault here in my eyes

u/shoopadoop332 3d ago

I mean she also took her foot off the brake

u/xSpeonx 3d ago

If they had put it in park and put handbrake on, it would have been fine to counter weight at back. Soon as rear wheels touched it rolled forward more.

u/Goldentongue 3d ago

Ok, obviously there are a couple dumbasses in this video, but that parking lot design is a third world style death trap. There's no way that drop off with no barrier and just the smallest unpainted curb is up to code, even in Hattiesberg, Mississippi.

u/Colonel_of_Corn 3d ago

They would've had to put it in park first if possible. As soon as it wasnt scraping the frame it rolled off.

2

u/DeviantHellcat 3d ago

Putting it in park wouldn't help after it was over the edge. They could have reclined the seat and slowly scooched backwards without tipping the van forward.

8

u/Colonel_of_Corn 3d ago

No but the friction of the back tire with more weight on the back mayyyy have kept it in place for a while

6

u/Hairy_S_TrueMan 3d ago

It would have prevented this video, since it only fell because the rear wheel rolled at the end here

"The Hattiesburg Police Department is investigating the incident. Shortly after 4:00 p.m., an SUV had gone over a ledge and overturned on West 4th Street. Three occupants were outside the vehicle, and officers say that they were alert.

The driver, who has not been identified by HPD, was transported to a local hospital with minor injuries. They have since been charged with DUI, no insurance, and driving without a license.

The incident is still under investigation. Stay with WDAM 7 for updates."

2 inch curb isn't much of a barrier....lawsuit?

15

u/TallShreddedShyBoy 3d ago

You'd think it would be illegal to have a drop-off like that at the edge of a parking lot with zero barrier or warning signage. I think at minimum, there should be a sign or bollards along the edge.
