VIDEO: Pick-up truck full of people has the craziest rollover ever

This feels like an older clip but I haven’t seen it before. But this clip of a pick-up truck (allegedly filled with Mexican people) flipping over, if real, is one of the crazier things I’ve seen. Clip isn’t gruesome or anything, so don’t worry.

I don’t get exactly why the car maneuvered like it did on a dry day though. Was he driving the truck with his genitals? Mid-drive siesta? Something’s off. Maybe that’s just how they drive in Mexico. Yeah, I’m going to assume that one. Other cultures…so diverse!

How not to drive a forklift

This video seems like it should be a part of Southwest Airline’s “Want to get away?” series of ads in which people want to go on vacation to avoid catastrophic situations. A forklift driver smashed into a shelf of Cognac and everything fell in the most horrific of ways.

I really wish you could see the guy’s face in the video. I imagine the look would be somewhere in between “Oh my God I almost died” and “I’m Gary Glitter and the police just took my laptop.” It’d be pretty hard to justify keeping someone in your company when his one job is to drive forklift and he somehow destroys hundreds of thousands of dollars of products because he briefly thought his forklift got hit by the red turtle shell from Mario Kart. Even though that could be a result of the Cognac, they probably can’t support it too much.

Fat ladies are good at falling humorously

Regardless of what you feel about obesity in this country, make no mistake that overweight Americans have an important place in our society. Most notably in their comedic ability when confronted with gravity and/or inertia. For further evidence, see this phenomenal video of a woman of larger carriage going flying during a bus accident.

I bet she was totally fine in spite of that fairly violent fall. The reason is that fat people have extra cushioning on their bodies that, while a hindrance in athletic conquests, makes them completely safe in high-impact collisions. But in spite of that fact and clear empirical evidence to back it up, if you suggest to a fat person that they serve as a crashpad for just ONE person leaping off of a building, they never let you live it down. Embrace the gifts God gave you, I say. Not everyone has blood made of Jello.

I would like to be friends with this car

State specific license plates tend to reveal something compelling about the state it’s from. And this Florida one is no exception because clearly Florida likes to PARTY. HARD.

That is a really creative license plate. Even more creative was the one I saw the other day that was attached to a car that ran over a woman in a wheelchair. There was nothing actually unique about it, just a generic New York license plate, but the way it drunkenly sped away while the woman writhed in agony was the most poetic thing I’ve ever stepped over on the way to work since that homeless guy reading ee cummings.
