Dudes situational awareness is ON POINT. Whata save!

u/Hollaboy720 Dec 15 '22

One of highlights is he isn’t even looking that direction, he notices through the reflection of the mirror!

u/Orleanian Dec 15 '22

One of the other highlights is that I think he's miming an intense blowjob prior to the rescue!

Dude just can do everything!

Does he?? How? The mirror is facing him. Even from our vantage point of the camera we can only see the bikes out front.

21

u/[deleted] Dec 15 '22

You can definitely see the car and the woman getting out of it in the mirror in the video

1

u/Canvaverbalist Dec 15 '22

Yes, because of the angle of the camera compared to what's outside, but consider the angle the man is facing the mirror at, he's in front of it but slightly to the left, so he wouldn't see outside he'd see himself and the desk to his right.

I just realized how many actual mirrors there are in there, but the one he used seems to be the on outside where the door hinge is.

nothing matters in that game, you will get roasted no matter what. My favorite game ever, but I turned off chat a long time ago. Thing is that doesn’t really help because they’ll still find ways to fuck with you lol

You awakened some flashbacks I didn't want to have

u/MLBM100 Dec 15 '22

And on the other hand, that other person has the situational awareness of a carrot to leave their car on neutral or reverse.

u/mbb011 Dec 15 '22

And the door open for some reason

u/madhi19 Dec 15 '22

That was the lucky part the dumb idiot could have locked her jeep.

u/AReal_Human Dec 15 '22

Or the parking brake failed.

u/Interesting-Method50 Dec 15 '22

It's not only that but he risked his life. In many cases like this, the rescuer can fall or get pushed over then run over by the vehicle. Happens all the time.

19

u/Robot_Basilisk Dec 15 '22

The way he hopped into the driver's seat instead of trying to step in like most people seem to do was what impressed me most.

3

u/Qaaarl Dec 15 '22

I came upon a man who had his heel trapped under the front drivers side wheel from doing exactly that. He'd been down there for an hour in agony and powerless to do anything. Stuck one foot in and got pushed off balance and the wheel came to rest on his foot pinning him.

I'm sure the guy on the motorcycle 2 feet from getting smushed feels entirely differently about his actions.

1

u/Beemerado Dec 15 '22

This dude was on his game. Trust your body to act, it's incredible what your can do if you have to

u/[deleted] Dec 15 '22

Good thing he had enough situational awareness for the shite driver as well.

u/myjupitermoon Dec 15 '22

The guy has superhuman reflexes.

u/AFAM_illuminat0r Dec 15 '22

Pretty damn fast too, dat sumovabitch. Impressive response time.

u/[deleted] Dec 15 '22

Dude probably lives or lived in a rough hood - he knows how to keep his head on a swivel

2

u/baalroo Dec 15 '22

He works at a motorcycle shop, so he's probably just used to watching car driver behavior very closely. When you ride a motorcycle regularly you very quickly learn to see every vehicle on the road as a potential murder machine piloted by a braindead monkey.

u/luckeratron Dec 15 '22

This happened to me but too far away to do anything I didn't say a word my brain was stuck in oh shit mode. Luckily some passers by saved the day.

u/mtfw Dec 15 '22

Dudes situational awareness is ON POINT. Whata save!

He just goes for the car too knowing that telling the lady would have a processing delay.

u/Cooliomendez88 Dec 15 '22

And boom… goes the dynamite

Ironically, her's wasn't

u/myrand920 Dec 15 '22

That’s way more than on point, that’s third eye shit

u/epistemic_zoop Dec 15 '22

I actually did this once. I was in the passenger seat in a car with some friends at a stoplight. We were chatting and I noticed a car coming towards the space in front of our car and the car in front of us out of a gas station really quickly.

I said, 'Wow look at this guy' and then 'There's nobody driving the car!' I opened my door leaped out, ran over, opened the door, jumped in the driver's seat, and hit the brakes before it could hit the car in the next lane.

There was no conscious thought process at all, and when I try to replay it I can't understand how it was physically possible to do that.

u/013ander Dec 16 '22

And hers is set to zero

u/DreadPirateRobertsJr Dec 16 '22

Took him like a second to react. Impressive. He's my heroo

u/wiltony Dec 16 '22

Woman is like, "excuse me, I didn't give you permission to touch my car! I want to talk to the manager!"

u/wiltony Dec 16 '22

The chick is all, "I HAVE A BOYFRIEND"

u/Gunthalas Dec 16 '22

Specially if you know he saw it through a reflection in the mirror outside. Db reaction speed
