The guy looked like he could have died. My reaction would be “better call 911 & check on them in case he’s dying”. Even if he was driving like a jackass. Still a fellow human can die.

I agree. Ideally, you'd stop around the bend to warn people coming from the other direction. Otherwise, you could easily end up a casualty as well.

Just hope he was an organ donor. If you drive recklessly it should be mandatory. Let something good come from your selfishness.

u/jeranamo 22d ago
Unfortunately most organs need to be removed while the donor is still alive (such as someone who is on life support and about to have the plug pulled). There's only a limited amount you can use from an organ donor if they are already deceased.

u/Regularpaytonhacksaw 22d ago
I am well aware of what you can and can’t do for better or worse. I have first hand experience with the procedures and the overall process of getting to a point where people become donor bodies. You’d be surprised what the human body can go through. The hospital I work at, so long as you get them there, they have an over 70% chance of at least being able to become a donor should they choose. Modern medicine can keep bodies “functioning” in the absolute worst cases. It’s actually really scary sometimes.
ETA I realized this may come off as pompous or holier than thou, it’s really not meant to. I just don’t always say things in the best way

Serious question: what exactly would a person skilled in Mad Max driving have done with his steering, brake and gas to recover from that situation? It looked recoverable.

after the final over-correction there's nothing they could have done. They should have just continued the drift.

u/No-Lynx-8205 23d ago
fwd car.. Used dentist is correct. dont brake, maintain throttle (no accel), and point wheels where you want to go. Thay had plenty of grip to save that.. they probably just never lost grip that aggressively before and panicked. I'm like 90% sure they didn't understand the characteristics of the car.. or cars in general cause that would've been a crash in anything except maybe an awd with really good ABS/TC because of the braking and over-correction.

u/Used_Dentist_8885 22d ago
The Venn diagram of people who would drive that recklessly and also be skilled enough to pull off a drift at that speed is pretty small. Real unique personality.

u/roger_enright 22d ago
Yeah, I autocross sports cars. Once you have spun the car dozens of times on track, you rapidly gain knowledge and lose all interest in doing it on a public road.

u/These_Consequences 22d ago
that would've been a crash in anything except maybe an awd with really good ABS/TC because of the braking and over-correction.
I noticed that the car had plenty of grip—as you say—in that, despite having at first begun to lose it and skid, grip was suddenly recovered to the extent he was able to execute an amazing high-speed turn on a dime, right into the embankment. Had there be an intersection and a crossroad there he crazily enough would have made the turn.
So you suggest traction control systems could make this worse in that, they don't know where to point the car but if you do, they are going to do their damnedest to make it happen?

u/foolproofphilosophy 21d ago
I learned that lesson on a track in the rain and was lucky to not have hit anything. It was a RWD car and that experience was a 10/10 lesson in “don’t lift”. I agree with you that he had plenty of grip. I’ve never pushed a FWD car like that but based on my RWD experience it looks like he lifted while abruptly unwinding the steering wheel. Otherwise I would have expected him to spin to the inside. That was full blown “Jesus take the wheel”.

u/Narcissistic-Jerk 23d ago
I'm surprised that he could catch that much air in that shitbox.

u/SonicYOUTH79 22d ago
I reckon if he'd just missed the end of that guard rail if would’ve just been an embarrassing spin out of control instead of that triple rotation in the air!

Divine punishment for crossing the mustard.
P.S. In FWD cars, if you lose traction just maintain throttle, point where you want to go, and trust the rubber you hopefully didn't cheap out on. Also why I turn off traction control in the rain, you need the power in fwd when you lose traction (I drive 6MT FWD).

u/Capital_Loss_4972 22d ago
I don’t wish that on anybody but they had it coming. Just glad they only took themselves out and not the other car in a head on collision. Hopefully there wasn’t a passenger. I’ve had two friends die as passengers in cars with idiot drivers.

He might have been able to steer out of the skid in a rear wheel drive car, but when you oversteer in a front wheel drive car, you’re cooked.
