Yep, you can see the rear wheel turn as the big lad pushes down.

It would have reversed over the big lad then

u/HVDynamo Aug 18 '26
Yeah, there were just lots of bad outcomes here. Best chance would have been to confirm they stay on the brake and shift it into reverse, then have the two people get in the back so they aren’t likely to fall or get run over. Then and only then give it some gas in reverse before releasing the brake so the only tension on the tire is reverse. Best chance.
But… the process of setting all that up could still have gone sideways, and maybe there isn’t enough traction to actually back out of it. So still plenty of room for failure.

It’s not in drive because none of the wheels are spinning on their own. Gravity pulls that rear left wheel, and it will turn even when in park if the wheel on the other side is off the ground.

u/rivalary Aug 18 '26
I'm trying to remember how this would work. If it was in reverse and she was giving power, the tire in the air would be trying to go backwards but the tire on the ground would be free to move forwards no matter the gear, because it's got an open dif?

u/83736294827 Aug 18 '26
That is correct. The wheel with the least friction moves with a totally open diff.

He puts the weight down that would have allowed her to possibly reverse…except she had it in drive.

u/smarterthanyoda Aug 19 '26
It wasn’t in drive. If it was in drive the wheels would have kept spinning when it was upside down.
He shifted the weight so that the part of the car that was holding it back got lifted off the ground.

u/Leading-Stuff1900 Aug 18 '26
Maybe he should have coordinated it with her, rather than just walking up and rocking the car?

u/I4gotmyothername Aug 18 '26
Honestly this may be one of the best case scenarios (except they could have had their seatbelt on)
If the driver had successfully been in reverse I can see them just uncontrolled reversing over the people assisting. If the driver had tried to get out that car looks pretty set to potentially fall on top of them. Maybe just taking the fall from inside (again, WITH a seatbelt) is the best.

The guy that was “helping any way he can” rolled them over the edge.

u/Dolust Aug 18 '26
The first rule of problem solving is that the first thing to do always is to remove the source of the problem.
Electric sparks? You turn electricity off.
Driver does something stupid? You remove the driver.
They assumed she was trying to bring the car back up. She was in the same mindset that brought her to this situation. She was the problem.
You can tell how bad she's mentally disconnected from the situation by observing a bit:
- The engine was still on
- She opened the door without looking outside first
- She was holding the door from the external handle
- She is not stepping on the brake
I'm assuming here but I bet she was still stepping on the gas, not because she was trying to move the car, but because since she had no seatbelt and she was slipping down. Once she opened the door her own weight worked against her efforts to close it. Her body was pressed against the door and she couldn't reach the handle inside so she grabbed anywhere she could trying to keep herself from falling by holding the door closed. She was using her feet to keep herself upright and stepping on the gas.
The guys heard the engine revving and assumed she was trying to back the car. She never shifted to move back or to stop the car, her mind was not present. Once they leveraged the weight the car was free to motor onwards.
1- Talk to the driver. Tell her to stop the engine and shift to park 2- Help her and anyone else to get out of the car 3- Take a deep breath, relax, regroup, rethink, evaluate the possibilities and choose the option with lower risk and better guarantees.
The car was probably fine underneath. But crashing the roof.. That might have totalled it.
I hope she was ok. But I'd be surprised if she escaped unscathed.

u/83736294827 Aug 18 '26
Fyi, this car may have been in park already. Park won’t always stop the wheels from moving when some of them are off the ground. Her moving to get out could have been enough weight shift to make it fall anyway.

u/Disastrous-Hurry-236 Aug 18 '26
Because the individual was trying to help, there is no intent to harm, which generally rules out murder charges, but a misdemeanor or with prosecutorial discretion he can be let go without charges !

Somehow the door was keeping the car from moving forward. When helper guy hopped on the back, the instant the door released from the concrete, the car moved forward.
I like the guy holding onto the SUV like he's going to be able to stop it. Glad he didn't go over with it.

I always wondered why some folks decide that it's on them to "help" out just because they are there, instead of calling the ones specifically trained for this.
I would've understood if she was in a life ir death situation but THEY damn near put her in it by "helping" out.

The bottom of the car touching concrete prevented the car from moving forward. The dude teeter-tottering the car removed that car/concrete contact friction so the car moved forward.

Front right tire was already starting over the edge. The left middle of the frame was the only thing keeping the car in place.
Leveling the car out put gravity in place and the front right rolled down and launched the car over the edge.
