People Are Posting Really Expensive Fails And Accidents, Here Are 30 That Hurt To Watch

What's even more ridiculous is the guys who think these are cool

If cars like this were illegal, how else are the drivers supposed to tell us they have a little wee-wee?

There's strong evidence that it should still be illegal (used to be in the US) as that height bypasses crumple zones in accidents and causes fatalities.

To me, seems ridiculous someone driving a truck like that is so unaware of the care needed to drive it.

There used to be a law that bumper bar heights must match between cars. I wish they'd kept that law.

Just as ridiculous and a*****e-ish as the angry inches driving them.

When I was a young kid I thought they looked cool. Because I hadn’t put any thought into it. When I reached driving age I realized it was really dumb. Perhaps people who do this have a childish mentality (and are probably more fun at parties than I am). A truck this long would have poor off road performance compared to a shorter wheelbased jeep of shorter stature. Horribly unsafe driving physics on the road. Not to mention poor resale value. Yeah and when people make modifications like this they usually don’t take a global approach meaning that when they make modifications to the height and tire size like this they don’t take into account how these changes affect the rest of the vehicle. Few if any owners or aftermarket companies make appropriate modifications that take into account new stresses on the frame that can cause flex (can reduce appropriate grip to all four tires)and even frame failure, and changes to braking behavior. A car like this shown should not be street legal.

Men with tiny pee-pees making laws to support other men with tiny pee-pees.

If they decided to regulate this, they would be crying for their loss of freedom.

Tiny D!ick-mobiles, sadly are more and more common on the roads.

Well he got what he deserved didn't he?

And their drivers.

just 'kinda' ?

Not necessarily. If they are a responsible employer they would first look at both the process as well as the people. If it was gross negligence, yes, he will probably be fired. If, however, he followed procedures and this was still allowed to happen...he may well still work there! Good people are hard to find. It doesn't make sense to fire someone for making a mistake that your organization should have helped to prevent. (I'm not in HR but am instead speaking from personal experience on both sides of the accident)

For what? Being human? Heaven forbid!!! Everyone makes mistakes and the more people realize that, and stop shaming those that make them, the better.

A motorcycle racer (IIRC it was Wayne Rainey) in the 80s once risked a bad crash because of a loose brake caliper bolt. In the aftermath he asked his team to always assign any brake job to the very same mechanic that did the initial blunder. His reasoning was along the line of: after such a mistake and an appropriate scold, that mechanic will always triple check everything, so it won't happen ever again!

Just took it out of his paycheck.

The technician, did it while while employed... "an ex technician" reads that they were not employed at the time...

Yeah…..

2, they lost 2 missions to Mars because of this

The "work done" book *is* the safety inspection , if things are run right "Every time I produce fool-proof systems of work, they build bigger fools"

Probably enjoying the overtime.

My guess would be that he lives a fair distance from the area that's affected by his colossal screw up.

I worked for a giant telecom company, and this is what these guys do every day at work. All day. When calls come in about disrupted services, a team is sent out to figure out what happened and to fix it. They aren't all THIS dramatic. But I once sent a team out and they called with photos of a darling squirrel and her babies in a handhole (like a manhole, but smaller). Car accidents, acts of nature, kids, animals. It's non-stop.

That warm cozy feeling of "it may be my job but it's still someone else's problem"...

He is an hourly employee.

He is probably making a s**t ton of overtime

Most likely things like this has happened enough times that he doesn't give any shits anymore. And probably they can't pin it on him or the crew.

He gets paid by the hour I'm sure . He just sees a massive amount of overtime waiting for him to pluck

He's not the guy in the machine. Probably just the guy that has to fix it

EEEKKKKKKKK...die!...This would be my kids reaction to no Net for a week

well to buy the Maserati they had to save some money hiring painters

A couple of years ago I saw a brand new Lamborghini driving down the road with half a dozen 8' long 2x4s wedged under the passenger side dash and was resting out the convertible top. My question for him was the same here. Do you have so little money that you can't afford a second vehicle for these sorts of things, or do you have sooooo much money that you just don't give a hoot about whether you spill some paint or damage your dash?

the driver said to the passenger "Hold my paint" ... 😏

When you want a new one and are looking for the insurance to fund it.

Because you are a mor*n

When your Bedford Rascal is at the garage.

C'mon, all the cool kids do it...

paint does not transport itself. you need to have it physically moved to get from the store to where you need to use it.

Because not only can you afford a Maserati you are stupid?

Some guy in Florida

Haver you noticed how much painters are charging?

Stupidity

Because the Bentley is in the garage, d'uh.

Because that’s their car????

Lucky it was too. An ordinary bus would have done a faceplant.

Thank you! I didn't see the bendy part and was wondering how they cleared that distance.

I guess brake several failure or health problem with bus driver like faint. Ppl suddenly faint and overrun other ppl is pretty common

just like you see. they drove through the window.

They went below 70 mph and did not make the gap? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzvCK0ET4M

Had no idea these busses were called bendy.

Sleep deprived driver?
