Youāll be happy to know that it doesnāt play out like that whatsoever. Gravity just throws them down to the ground and they donāt start bouncing like theyāre made of rubber and splintering, shooting massive shards into peoples windshields.
I still canāt do it, not just because of the movie, but also because Texas roads have taught my Hondaās bumper cover a brutal lesson about how many people drive around with unsecured loads/equipment. If ya got junk in the trunk I canāt fuck wit ya.
I'm a trucker and that load looks extremely questionable to me. I would give that fucker a wide berth.
Also, for what it's worth; I'm a very safety focused driver. I drive the speed limit, I do my best to leave a lot of space in front of me, and when people are merging in I slow down because (no offense) most 4 wheeler drivers don't look to see what's coming until they are actually getting in the lane. Every time another tractor trailer blows by me going fast enough to blow my doors off its one of these log trucks. They are super heavy and cannot stop quickly.
Any time I get behind a logging truck, I need to pass as soon as possible. If I'm a passenger in a vehicle that gets behind a logging truck, I will interrupt all conversation to loudly say "CAN WE PLEASE PASS THIS TRUCK AS SOON AS POSSIBLE." To this day.
I donāt care about Final Destination, I take this entirely as an Aerosmith reference
It seemed like absolutely everyone had Get a Grip in 93
Like Liveās Throwing Copper and Gin Blossomsā New Miserable Experience, it was standard issue for every citizen in the early-mid 90s
Haha, this made me chuckle and reminisceā¦I spent a fair amount of time in Africa years ago and once saw a whole-ass sofa in Nairobi being transported atop a small compact hatchback. I have video of it but no pictures or Iād post it here.
Another time I was in Jordan and got behind a makeshift ātruckā that had a few camels just hanging out in the back, making camel noises. I was laughing so hard and the driver of the car I was in just kept staring at me in his rearview, wondering WTF was wrong with the dingbat white lady. I suppose he saw that sort of spectacle every day.
My family and I took a road trip years ago through Western Oregon and wound up in a maze of logging roads (thanks Garmin). When I tell you this was my view, repeatedly, for like 55 miles, through winding hilly roads... let's just say my knuckles have rarely been whiter.
Final Destination vibes
My first thought. š
I saw this documentary as a teenager
I'm *still* traumatized by this.Ā Occasionally will see one on the road and I will slow way down to not get killed.Ā No siree!

Oh F*ck no! Never, nope.
Iām 42 and made my mom change lanes on the highway after we got behind a log truck the other day.
OP, itās been an hour, please check in. OP, you good?
I rewatched Final Destination recently and this scene is so hilariously unhinged.
I always drive right behind these, because fuck you fate.

> If ya got junk in the trunk I canāt fuck wit ya.Ā Oh you absolutely **can**. It's just a real fuckin' bad idea. š¤£
Oh hell nah!
Fuck that
Oh oh oh Oreillyyyyysss
i knew someone else would have caught that
Came here to say that, erm, sing that š
AUTOPARTS! (I've never seen Final Destination. This is what I got from this image)
You can't help yourself from falling
Tell me what you think about your Sit-chu-a-shun
*breaks up the singalong before it ever takes off* For the greater good
Top 5 Aerosmith song, imo

Was Highway to Hell on the radio?
Nah dude, Arrowsmith was
Yes it was
That is an unsafe load.
It looks like it is overloaded for one.
For real though that does not look like a secure load.

Yep, O'Reilly gets you the wrong part about 75% of the time.
Lol I am literally watching FD2 again right now and scrolled to this. Oh shit, is this a premonition?
South Alabama or southeast Arkansas?
East Texas
SE Texas for me lol
The part where the guy burns is easily the most accurate detection ever filmed.
I cannot drive behind one of these things.
nope, pass now. plenty of room

Hahaha I know Jeffrey Reddick and always tell him Iām gonna send him my wine bill from the airport bar š
Bro, no. You better pull off the road or pass that bad boy up!

At least the lumber mills smell amazing.
Nope nope nope.
I'll backflip over a shark tank before I do this
Nope. Hard pass.
Makes me think of HWY 105 in Texasā¦ ugh.
Only if you are listening to John Denver
This and that scene in ER where that guy was impaled with a pvc pipe (I think) while driving really stuck with me.
