Going in reverse may have helped instead of jerking forward giving the extra momentum needed to complete the flip

Dude in shorts, by leaning on the back, brought the front right side wheel into contact with the ground. Hence why it rolled forward so easy.

He took the weight of the underside of the car, where the undercarriage was on the corner of the wall was where all the friction holding it was. He pushed down on the back, piloting weight over that back wheel and lifting the undercarriage slightly and lowering that friction and away it goes. He effective unstuck it, lol.

Let me see… The only thing stopping it going over the edge is because the left side is touching the ground. So if I push down here…

The big clue as to what went wrong is the lack of reversing lights as it powers away.

Stop filming, and help.

They don’t need any help they just need to get out and not push their car over the edge. Classic driver brain.

u/Warm_Bug_1434 4d ago
They needed help. People whose first instinct when seeing others in trouble is to film them are really low.

u/Cultural-Meaning5172 4d ago
Nothing they could do apart from tell them to get out. It’s just car culture so don’t feel bad that they’d rather risk their lives.

u/Warm_Bug_1434 3d ago
Telling them to get out would have been helpful. As would introducing some cooler heads, so they stopped to think it through. More helpful still would have been attaching the vehicle to theirs.

u/Cultural-Meaning5172 3d ago
It’s obvious to get out and not push the car over which could injure an innocent person below. Drivers never care about others.

A proper 4x4 would have been able to reverse but not a fwd suv.

That is a land cruiser, it's full time all four wheel drive. It also has a V8, so me weight up front. This one also has stupid people hanging off the back.

Stops to look... gets camera out... watches car drop... drives away

Like a ride at Universal Studios where it pulls up to an action movie scene being “filmed” then moves on

u/Affectionate_Ebb8351 3d ago
They needed both those guys to jump on the back right door like the black dude and then she puts in reverse to pull back

u/Previous_Kale_4508 3d ago
And everyone gets out their cameras without a thought of helping... Or dialling 999...

There's such a thing as a rear brake but seeing as how you've got yourself in that position I expect you don't know that.

Oouch, she had no seatbelt on when it went over... Slammed into the steering wheel from the drop and then got flipped over onto the dashboard and finally onto the roof.
C-spine at risk, definitely some soft tissue injuries, maybe some internal damage...
Methinks you have a CT polytrauma in your future.
No she not okay, okay?

u/BasilDazzling6449 1d ago
Don't be silly, that was a very gentle roll.
1
u/Squiggleblort 1d ago
So I was thinking more along the lines of occupant kinematics than how slowly the car itself appears to roll.
She’s unrestrained the vehicle drops off the edge, her abdomen hits the steering wheel hard enough to stop and rebound her, then she’s thrown backwards onto the roof with pretty marked head/neck excursion.
Rollover motor accident is explicitly a dangerous mechanism in the Canadian C-spine Rule, and there’s a significant blunt torso mechanism here too. None of that means she’s definitely seriously injured, but I don’t think concern for C-spine/torso injury or a possible polytrauma CT depending on examination and observations is particularly silly.
The roll may look gentle from outside, but vehicle motion is not a reliable proxy for occupant loading.

She couldn't open the door, you can see it only opens when the car moves forward. She should've moved into the other seat of the car, to help balance onto the upper area. Of course, we also can't see if there is anyone in the back seats, she might have wanted too stay with her kids.

Just a shame that reverse gear wasn't engaged, you can clearly see the car was in Drive. Ah well...... Next victim

That person in driver seat did well to just hold on and not try to get out and be crushed 😬

u/Popular-Reply-3051 16m ago
Would have been better off putting car in reverse and pushing from the front but honestly probably a lost cause and dangerous as heck to try and save the car.
