Driver saved from burning hot rod!

Someone asked about a fire extinguisher in the vid.

Loose nut behind the wheel? Looks like he may have punched it then did pin ball of the curb.

Someone mentioned lawsuite. I guess if it were me getting sued the most he could get is my social security until I check out. I may even check out early just for spite.

 

This is why I am against driving such high horse power cars on the street. We have several 1000 hp rods in our area,and the owners can barely control them at an idle. When when shifting into drive,or reverse they jump about 3 feet nearly running over by standers.

 

Hope the drivers doing better but I.M.O. that was no nice day out for a cruze crash, judging by how far up the wall the car is that was a hey look there's the neighborhood kids let me show off a bit for them. Not a broken front wheel sorry to say.

 

Oh great, horsepower limits on the general public.
If I were to use the very same logic you are using, I could make a very effective argument that pencils are responsible for all of the misspelled words.

 

Or that marriage is the chief cause of divorce.

Someone aksed me once, "Can you really have too much horsepower?" I said, "Well I can't but maybe you can."

 

It looks like a case of "no body's on the street, I'll just punch it and put on a show for these kids" gone wrong.

Well done job by the young guys getting him out before he got burned.

I'll agree on the If you have a full cage your full harness needs to be on every time the car moves. Several people have been either killed or injured by hitting the cage in an accident when they either weren't fastened in at all or they were only held in by a lap belt and bounced around enough to hit their head on the cage.

Easier to do this:

 

As time p***es more will be revealed.

 

ouch ... hope he's ok

 

We're all sinners.

Say a prayer for brother.

 

bingo!

 

To much thinking going on here...The driver probably did the stunt many times...this time it went bad...Bystanders came to his aid,he alone was seriously injured...Hopefully he'll recover...All the rest is gossip....While this thread is being discussed more than a few people have died in wrecks caused by drunks and cell phones....

 

This stuff happens and there's no need to play CSI. I just hope he recovers.

 

I think that everyone is probably over taken with morbid curiousity.

Sometimes one gets away from you. From what I have read about his condition he is learning a hard lesson. He may or may not be real glad that he lived through it I know a couple of times in my life I wished I hadn't lived through some of my antics, but after the fact he will probably be real grateful to those who pulled him out. It always seems a lot better to be alive once you get over trying to get better.

 

Good Samaritan laws are laws or acts in some cases obliging people to give reasonable ***istance to those who are injured, ill, in peril, or otherwise incapacitated (duty to rescue)<SUP id=cite_ref-dan_0-0 cl***=reference jQuery17207057817239043478="5">[1]</SUP>, and in all cases protecting people who do so against legal action<SUP id=cite_ref-dan_0-1 cl***=reference jQuery17207057817239043478="6">[1]</SUP>. The protection is intended to reduce bystanders' hesitation to ***ist, for fear of being sued or prosecuted for unintentional injury or wrongful death.
An example of the obligation to help a person is the Argentine law on "abandonment of persons", Articles 106-108 of the Argentine Penal Code, which include the provision in Article 106 "a person who endangers the life or health of another, either by putting a person in jeopardy or abandoning to their fate a person unable to cope alone who must be cared for ... will be imprisoned for between 2 and 6 years"<SUP id=cite_ref-1 cl***=reference jQuery17207057817239043478="7">[2]</SUP>.
An example of legal protection without obligation to act: in common-law areas of Canada a good Samaritan doctrine is a legal principle that prevents a rescuer who has voluntarily helped a victim in distress from being successfully sued for 'wrongdoing'. Its purpose is to keep people from being reluctant to help a stranger in need for fear of legal repercussions should they make some mistake in treatment.<SUP id=cite_ref-2 cl***=reference jQuery17207057817239043478="8">[3]</SUP>
Good Samaritan laws vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, as do their interactions with various other legal principles, such as consent, parental rights and the right to refuse treatment. Most such laws do not apply to medical professionals' or career emergency responders' on-the-job conduct, but some extend protection to professional rescuers when they are acting in a volunteer capacity.
The principles contained in good Samaritan laws more typically operate in countries in which the foundation of the legal system is English Common Law, such as Australia.<SUP id=cite_ref-3 cl***=reference jQuery17207057817239043478="9">[4]</SUP> In many countries that use civil law as the foundation for their legal systems, the same legal effect is more typically achieved using a principle of duty to rescue.
Good Samaritan laws take their name from a parable told by Jesus commonly referred to as the Parable of the Good Samaritan which is contained in Luke 10:25-37. It recounts the aid given by a traveler from the area known as Samaria to another traveler of a conflicting religious and ethnic background who had been beaten and robbed by bandits.<SUP id=cite_ref-4 cl***=reference jQuery17207057817239043478="10">[5]</SUP>

 

First intelligent thing (after the oh ****s) out of anyone's mouth every time is what happened?

Everybody's going to ask what happened, its just how it is.

 

The bottom line is he crashed, he wrecked his Dad's car, and he is hurt pretty seriously. I see all the comments here and on other forums with everybody on their high horse with a holier than thou at***ude and it makes me sick. It makes me sick because the people making these comments are fellow enthusiasts (members of the same broad "Brotherhood"?) It is bad enough that the "Greenies" want to take away our toys. We can't even pull together for a fellow enthusiast. At this point does it really matter what caused the wreck? NO!!!

My prayers are out to the Driver his friends, and his family. I am sure they are not having an easy go of it right now.

 

good work on the part of the young men, I was hoping someone would be getting a fire extinguisher on that fire. Be brave Scott, will be hoping for a complete recovery for you. ~sololobo~

 

****s...

First, I hope he's ok.
Second Im glad no one else was hurt.

I am courious though, I see the whole right front end ***embley with tire next to the curb and the coil over shock in the street, strickly from a engineering/design stand point, that coilover would have to failed at both ends or at least its bolts for it to be laying in the street by itself, also it has ripped off the right rear tire aswell, maybe an axle broke.
Wondering about the type of front end ( mustang II maybe ) tube ch***is pick up points, but the right side body just dosen't look that bad to have ripped off both right side wheels. I would have thought the spindle would sheer before the upper and lower control arm bolts would snap and the coilover bolts would break.

I do hope he recovers and I am thankfull there are good folks out to help others.
Im not pointing blame at anyone or product, I study crash scenes, as a hobby in my line of work, it helps sometimes to think about something else.

Godspeed
MrC.

 

I can recall one time in my life I totaled my dads wagon and feared my dad's wrath more than my injury's or the police,,I hope Scott heals up soon but you can bet his Dad probably ain't gonna be real happy with him. HRP

 

What???

No m*** hysteria, speculating, or the safety brigade on their soapboxes?


That would be a refreshing change...
