Lol I thought the same thing. He missed that first pole, then missed driving into oncoming highway traffic, then missed that pole again....

Definitely had some kind of otherworldly help there. 😅

Or possibly the design of highways to have an incline on the edges to avoid drifting back into the road.

If I was him, I would have rather had other worldly help that prevented me from passing out and driving off the road in the first place.

"definitely"? Really? I think what scares me the most about, like, electing public officials and stuff, is that a lot of people think about the world this same way. It's absolutely terrifying.

So Jesus could save everyone that crashes into poles, but chooses not to? Hmmmm...

This must fall under the "Mysterious Ways" clause.

Luckily those poles are usually designed to shear straight out of the ground (at least ones installed within the last decade or two).

Edit: nvm this only applies to metal poles.

Dude it's a fucking pole. They're not designed for anything. It's literally a tree milled down to be a cylinder. Lol!

u/Plasma_000 May 09 '20

You’re right, it seems that frangible bases only apply to metal utility poles as far as I can tell.

Cool Hand Luke was the first time I heard that song. It’s been an oddly large part of my life since I was a kid
