  1. Seems to be a lot of people are trying their damnest to be the Darwin award winner.

    Wonder if this joker got on the list, or will just survive in extreme pain the rest of their life.

  2. Target fixation on all the police vehicles on the other side of the road. The driver never even saw the flatbed because they were looking in the wrong direction. This is why we’d shut both sides of a highway down if we did something extra entertaining like bring in an AirCare helicopter, because we didn’t want to have mass casualty entrapments on the OPPOSITE side of the highway.

    It seems like an awful lot of police vehicles without a corresponding number of fire/squad vehicles though. Probably the end of a high speed chase.

  3. Intense Bodycam footage captures the moment a distracted driver launched their car off of a parked tow truck on May 24, 2023.

    The Lowndes County Sheriff’s Office said the driver, a woman from Tallahassee, Florida, amazingly survived the crash with serious injuries.

  5. @SNS Target fixation Haven’t heard that term in almost 40 years.

    I was in a A-7 training squadron (Fallon NV) Amazing to me even today how rookie pilot would fly right into a target. In 2 years we lost at least 2 pilots that way.

  6. Target fixation is real shit. In motorcycling it’s called the same thing. You look at shit you shouldn’t be looking at and you hit it. And the converse is steering away from what you are looking at, thinking you are smart, and crash anyway. Keith Code covered it quite well in a number of his tomes. And The Hurt Report. Yes, The Hurt Report is real. His name was Harry Hurt. And it is not a joke.

  7. Kids working for me were launching a brand new Ford Fairmont off the loading ramps along the train tracks Fort Lewis. These were there to load/unload tanks and other heavy armament onto railroad flat cars. A captain who used to go sit in his car in a quiet location and eat his lunch was sitting there when a car flew past. The car was a total loss. The suspension was completely shot and tha was only the start of it.
