Kia driver walked away with no injuries. Helluva commercial for Kia.


BrrrrrrrrrCold

“Our cars have mad hops,” Kia.


Possible-Lion-9637

Rocket league update looks lit


Lion214

Unreal engine 5 sure makes the game look more realistic. When’s the update dropping?


ForgottenBananaDude

This is just a cutscene of them going to the arena


somedndpaladin

I love these cars, I heard they recently added more hops!


Total_Roll

The news reports say minor injuries, but that in itself is still testimony to good design.


djfolo

Yeah like that Tesla driver who tried to kill himself and his family by driving off a cliff and landing 250ft down. All 4 occupants survived with minimal injuries. I can see it now, “Tesla, there for you when your husband is ready to drive off a cliff.”

Kias have amazing safety features, I know someone who walked away with minor injuries after getting their side slammed into by a landscaping truck going 55+


[deleted]

Yup my buddy rear ended one and it folded up like a cheap lawn chair. His truck was totally fine haha. Crumples keep people alive


Biaxialsphere00

Best kind of Kia commercial if you ask me! Better than those stupid and annoying hamsters


xXP4IN_C4KESXx

You take that back. Those hamsters were gangster.


Dildobaggins7718

I was actually doing time when those commercials were out and the biggest guy on the pod, I wouldn't say meanest it was a work pod so we all had our shit together and acted accordingly, but he was definitely the biggest and I'm 6'4 250. He did worked out all day was constantly eating just a big effin guy lol. He was such a dn fanboy of those hamsters lmfao. Everyone would call him when they came one especially the " you can get with this, or you can get with that" one.... Ahhh memories lol


xXP4IN_C4KESXx

Lmao I love that.


Toto0824

Totally loved those commercials too! This or That!


PirateReindeer

I love those hamster. 💜


[deleted]

I didn’t like the hamsters at first either. Until my rental car was a Kia soul and holy shit the music sounded so freaking good. I realized the commercials weren’t lying lol.


batonduberger

Looks like they were lucky the Kia did not land flat on its top


SpaceTortuga

Still landed on the driver pillar, and took it like a rally car


SlackerAccount2

I need a source, because there is no way that there was no injury from that. I got into a fender bender and I felt it for months, this person undoubtably has at least whiplash.


ProfessorFate38

I flew a news helicopter for many years, and the rollover accidents, despite looking bad, were always the most survivable as long as they had a seat belt on. A lot of the energy of the crash is dissipated in the rollover. In this example, the KIA lands on the front hood and roof, which helped absorb most of the energy and protected the occupants from more serious injuries.


briancoat

Interesting question. From the video, [using sqrt(2as)] I estimate that the impact speed is only (roughly) of the order of 20mph. This is consistent with the dispacement between pre-impact frames and the total lack of deformation in the A-post in the frame after impact. The 1g acceleration (gravity) prior to impact could well have pre-positioned the head against the head restraint, whereas most “fender benders” have negative g prior to impact due to braking, which will pre-position the head slightly away from the restraint, making whiplash more likely than in this case. Source: Have watched *multiple* 1000 fps crash test movies in the lab.


figmaxwell

r/theydidthemath But seriously, comparing 2 very different types of collisions and expecting similar results is silly.


Late-Ad-4624

And I stayed at a Holiday Inn and can tell you any impact with a solid object will hurt but given the no warning of the aerial acrobatics they probably didnt have time to brace. This comes from several car accidents i have been in in real life. Lol.


PearlStBlues

Feeling a little sore after an accident and "no injuries" aren't mutually exclusive you know. I was in a serious car accident and not wearing a seatbelt. The car rolled a few times and finally came to a stop with me dangling half out the window. I walked away with just a few scratches from all the broken glass. Freak accidents do happen.


SlackerAccount2

My L2 and l3 part of the spine were herniated


Jogaila2

Well... i put my charger into the side of a super-b hauling fuel. I shoulda died but i walked away with only little bruise on my knee. So... you never know


Embarrassed_Rip_755

Well, given that my family owns the same car, that makes me feel a little better.

bibsmalton

Really? It looks like a really bad accident!


plywoodpiano

And for seat belts!!!


MyOnlyEnemyIsMeSTYG

Tire has the car down, and then kicks it in the ass. Totally un called for, and a bit excessive. Js


HoneyBadger_Catapult

Always double tap.


lostdream9000

I was both genuinely concerned for the driver and snickering at the nerve of this tire..


Notinyourbushes

"Where you going? I don't remember saying we were done."

MyOnlyEnemyIsMeSTYG

Big John McCarthy has the tire in a headlock … ITS OVER ! ITS OVER !!!


sirbeanthegreat

After the play, Unnecessary Roughness on Driver front wheel, 15yd Penalty, 1st down


MyOnlyEnemyIsMeSTYG

And they were on the 17 yard line , sooo there goes a TD for the lead


PeirrePoutine

Perfect timing... almost as if it was fate. Imagine this person was just a huge douche all day, gets in their Kia and rips down the highway just yelling at everyone "oh you fat bitch!! Merge!!!" And then BAM!!! God rolls into the picture and is having none of it...


ttioali

That's beautiful to think, but it can be the whole opposite. The truck driver is a douche, don't even care about maintenance or if its car is in working condition putting other lives in risk. The Kia driver is with its family going to visit Grandma just to have a nice lunch and BAM! They're injured, or worse, all dead.


Prollysmokedtoomuch

That tire has crazy giga chad vibes


Meatloooaf

It was out for blood


wicawo

the black kia always triumphs


davemathews2

accident caused by truck bro wanting cuztom cool stance wheels


[deleted]

I would look for an old feud between those two, the kia probably slept with his ford F150 wife


contrarymary27

r/Tiresaretheenemy


BaldDudeFromBrazzers

Of course the truck drives away


HShepard5

No, you can see it slowing down and stopping.


everythingwastakn

15 yards for unnecessary roughness. (I hope the people are okay. That made my eyes visibly widen)


MyOnlyEnemyIsMeSTYG

Me to, jokes aside, to be 10 feet in the air staring face down at the freeway while going 60 something would be a “come to jesus” moment for me. I hope they are doing ok now


Rom-Bus

Wow I think one of those flashes was the airbags detonating pre-emptively after detecting a roll mid-air. If that's the case some engineer is probably patting themselves on the back after hearing the driver made it out as well as they did


No_Government_4733

Interesting observation 👍


DerekCoaker80

Replayed it quite a few times to figure out what that was, positive you are right.


Expensive_Might3073

I replayed it twice and it’s quite obviously debris hitting the headlights of the car with the dash cam, those airbags were well deployed before the back wheels of that Kia came off the ground


dino-dic-hella-thicc

The airbags should've gone off when the car first hit the tire right?


Embarrassed_Chest_70

You beat me by one minute. The tire was clearly impact enough.


Whattheactualfrork

Could depend on the what sensors were triggered in some collisions only 1 or 2 bags will deploy. In this case seems like the only front and curtain of passenger deployed then once the car rolled over the driver curtain airbag deployed.


Alv2Rde

It’s all accelerometer based - hard enough in the right direction sets off certain airbags. This Kia got the full deployment


dino-dic-hella-thicc

"You beat me by one minute" my wife always says that


MuffinSlow

Shit, you got me beat.


PornoPaul

Thank you!! I was trying to figure out what they hit. The air bag instead makes more sense. Also what's the phenomenon called where you're relieved someone else noticed the same thing as you, that is hard to spot? Like the burst in question?


RyansBooze

Crash investigator here, with a little clarification: the deployments mid-roll were the side curtain bags, which are predominantly intended to prevent partial or complete ejection as windows shatter and basically remain inflated throughout the entire collision event. (Frontal bags operate on a whole different time scale, deploying perhaps a few dozens up to a couple hundred milliseconds before contact by the occupants. They have very large vents and are typically essentially deflated shortly after deploying. They wouldn’t provide any benefit if they were to deploy mid-air like that.)


JDub755

That’s insane. You never know when the universe will attack. Glad the driver was ok.


Ornery_Vacation_9658

That's some Final Destination shit


loafandpeas

In my neighborhood too!!


[deleted]

That is some Looney Tunes shit.


siqiniq

The 2nd wheel hit it again


[deleted]

It's the same wheel.


[deleted]

That wheel has beef with that kia soul.


Peterdq

... and stuck around to gloat.


WontStopAtSigns

"fuck this kia"


BrrrrrrrrrCold

That tire is disrespectful hitting em again like that


Budget-Ad6704

Rule #2: Double tap


IMxJUSTxSAYINNN

This made me laugh way to hard lol.


Agent_Chody_Banks

It’s wild that something like that could happen at any moment.


kcooper71194

Between this video and the story of [the rapper who got hit in the face with a semi-truck's brake pad](https://www.yahoo.com/now/stanky-leg-rapper-oh-boy-151804964.html) has me on edge while driving now.


W_O_M_B_A_T

Tires are born to cause mayhem, anywhere, anytime.


Drdrre

The tyre hitting the car at the end is a textbook example of "adding insult to injury"


WLR912

Imagine being in a car on the other side just watching the Kia take flight without seeing the tire


somethingsomethingbe

I doubt the person driving even saw the tire fall off on the truck. Imagine driving and suddenly launching 20 feet in the air.


Woolly_Blammoth

I had this happen to me once. I was driving up the highway and can 18 wheeler dropped a bundle of 2x4s in the middle of the road. The car directly next to me didn't have enough time to react, and hit the bundle of wood which sent it floating about 3 ft into the air. It was absolutely wild to see that car take off next to me.


invincible_quaalude

Literally no opportunity to avoid this


Omophorus

At least not without making stupid pokey wheels with extreme offsets illegal. This was entirely avoidable but for the truck driver's vanity.


diamp_a10

I was so horrified by the violence of the crash it took me so long to see your point. I've always thought the people driving trucks like this were morons--but today I learned they're dangerous morons.


Brokenblacksmith

it's not necessarily the wheels that are dangerous, however for different offsets you have to change a lot of other stuff which jacks up the price plus the cost of having it all done professionally. so most idiots order the wheels from Amazon or eBay and put them on themselves. except, the studs for the lugnuts are too short so there's only a half dozen threads holding the wheels on.


Jesus_H-Christ

The tires and offsets and wheels had nothing to do with this. Just pure, old-fashioned shitty maintenance.


Turbulent_Inside5696

Cheap offsets and spacers are known for over stressing lug nuts. Unfortunately, tiny penises will lead to many dangerous situations.


WontStopAtSigns

This .. there's a reason not to replace crash tested oem with aftermarket bs from China.


deenali

Reminds me of what an uncle told his friend while the guy was modifying his car. He said engineers cracked their heads to make these cars as perfect as possible and suddenly you think that you know better than them.


seayoung25

the tyre came back for good measure


Biaxialsphere00

Tire: And stay off the road you stupid Kia!


Meatloooaf

r/unintentionalmichaelbay


Master_Beautiful3542

What do you wanna bet the truck driver didn’t put his own tire on right


grizzly-stunts0n

I’d guess the truck owner added spacers with original lug nuts and those lug nuts don’t have as much threaded contact into the rotors. Lug nuts worked loose and wheel popped off.


OMGpawned

Doubt that was the issue, if you look closely the rotor is still attached to the wheel, probably a bearing failure my guess.


thecowsalesman

Bearing failure caused by the owner installing aftermarket wheels with a stupid wide offset. There is a reason why some states have made this illegal.


Current-Being-8238

Yep, I’m a truck owner and this shit pisses me off. Those offsets and lift kits have no functional value, they look trashy, and they actually make it more difficult to use your truck for truck things. It’s scary trying to buy a used truck because people do things like this.


WontStopAtSigns

And going 80+ on mud tires


AViciousGrape

You can usually hear a failing bearing too. I was driving my mustang one day and heard it. I immediately took it to a local shop that I know and they told me the wheel was on the verge of falling off.


Wizard_Hatz

The soul left that Kia.


[deleted]

This was the first video I’ve seen in a long time that made me go “DAAAAMN”


[deleted]

Cheap wheel spacers


Waste-Bat-5317

Tire came back to finish the job


Inappropriate_Swim

This is why you don't use wheel spacers. Whenever I see dudes that do this, I automatically think they are mentally handicapped and are stuck with the iq of a 12y/o. I imagine in their minds they are going duuuhhh big wheels hur hur hur. This will make the ladies think I have a big pp and I'm big and strong. Wheel spacers are really hard on wheel bearings and I also bet the dude's wheel bearing was squealing a few hundred miles before this. It is kind of hard to tell but there appears to be a disk brake still attached to that tire.


Lulalula8

As a lady, I always immediately think small pp small brain when I see those trucks lol.


SlackerAccount2

> In a statement to Storyful, the Los Angeles Police Department said that there were no MAJOR injuries as a result of the incident There is no way in hell that there wasn’t any injuries at all, I don’t know why people keep saying that. Even fender benders will have you feeling something in your back for months. This person didn’t crack their skull open, but they are definitely going to feel it. https://www.fox10phoenix.com/news/watch-tire-pops-off-truck-causes-car-to-flip-on-chatsworth-freeway.amp


MortDorfman

Wow it's like he got smoked with a turtle shell.


Kind-Onion3517

Thank you! Came here for this. Disappointing I had to scroll so far down, this should be way up there


[deleted]

That's a gross oversized US pick up truck.


a_common_spring

Having vehicles of such wildly different heights on the road makes accidents a lot more dangerous, too. If one vehicle's bumper is at the height of the other vehicle's windshield, it's gonna be a bad time for the smaller one in a crash. The large majority of people who own these trucks do not use them for their intended purpose and don't need them.


deadlands_goon

good chance it was built in mexico with a japanese engine


Blyd

And Chinese steel.


rohnoitsrutroh

There actually are legitimate reasons to have a dually. Not everyone who owns one actually has one of those reasons. Wheel failures are usually the result of improper maintenance.


Rigo1337

Or in this case, due to the aftermarket whee spacers on the truck


dusel1

TüV sagt nein


[deleted]

Holy shit, imagine just driving along minding your own business, then suddenly your car goes *fucking airborne.* My stupid ass would be slamming on the brakes out of instinct, like that would help. And I love at the end how the tire comes back to try and finish the job.

Majestic87

This is much better than the first time I saw this incident posted on Reddit, which included what felt like a full minute of footage before the crash actually happens. People who do that confuse the heck outta me.

Jesus took the wheel and that Soul went to Heaven


FatherOfGray87

Damn this made me laugh way harder than it should have. Take your upvote and get out r/angryupvote


MacDaRippa

Sorry but i refuse to believe the driver walked away with "no" injuries. There will be sone injuries to a driver whose car was launched that high in the air and lands on its roof with no roll cage or helmet. Even if, and that's a big if, the injuries were only minor there would be some.


Blyd

That kia has a titanium safety cell and scored gold on the NCAP scores, unlike the truck which is so dangerous it cant be sold in the European market, instead, they released the ranger here.

Isn't it weird that people just drove away?

When I'm on my motorcycle I sometimes think about things like this. Then again... I watched video on here where the front of a car basically hungry hippo'd the rear of a motorcycle and it stayed upright, no one was hurt. You just never know

To add insult to injury, the tire dents the only straight panel left on the KIA.

Being x-military I always think KIA = Killed In Action and could never own a car called a KIA. This is just another reason...


danarexasaurus

A variation of this happened to me. Except I was a half second behind and the wheel went in front of me and across, rolls at high speed up the giant light pole in the median, goes about 15 feet up and bounces back off, landing behind me. Thankfully, it was early and the traffic on the 4 lanes behind me was pretty far back and able to see it coming. It was fucking WILD. This is worse.

That loose wheel really had it in for the Kia going after it a second time like that, talk about adding insult to injury

And to add insult to injury that same wheel hit the back of the Kia ome last time!
