You've got to wonder how these people manage to survive? I've just read an article on this having seen the vid before christmas...

This is her closing statement "Looking back I think we did the right thing."
They should be banned from using any form of transport until they realise jumping from the car was the most retarded thing they could have done. The driver even bails before the passenger!
It came to rest just out of shot.

PMSL!!!
The way they skid down on thier arses!
I shouldnt laugh, i put the steering out on the GF's car this morning on the way to work, turned the steering wheel but the car didnt. Consequently ended up hitting the kerb on the wrong side of the road i was turning down. Those people didnt reaalise tho, if you let the wheels turn you can regain some control

Brilliant! Everyone here was wondering how it all ended up!
Looking at that photograph, I'm fairly sure neither one of them would have died in a mangled wreck if they hadn't jumped out.
How the hell can she still think they did the right thing??? - Vard66

The guy suffered a few broken ribs apparently, as he was crushed against another car by the Fester.
Another point to raise is that there was no ice shortly after they jumped out, so if he'd still been in the car, he could have stood on the brakes.
Fucktards.

Re: "Oh no! Ice! Quick - jump out!"
It just shows how bad this country has become at driving in winter conditions.
Complete fucktards. Fancy having the brakes on all the while in the ice. But then to jump out of the car and leave it to crash, wtf?
What if somebody had been in the way.. if they were in the car they could have tried to at least manouver it out of the way.
PS: I love ice driving... I think everyone should goto Finland at least once..

Re: "Oh no! Ice! Quick - jump out!"
Speechless - totally speechless. I know that there are some drivers with limited epxerience of ice BUT - how does jumping out make it better!!!!!!!! Hold tight - take you hands of the wheel and let the seatbelt do its work (assuming you have it on!!). The driver in that clip was really lucky that the car didint collect him on the way to hitting whatever it ultimately hit - on a different day that might have killed him - unbeleivable

Re: "Oh no! Ice! Quick - jump out!"
But to abandon a moving vehicle and then say in the paper that they think they did the right thing? Thats insane. No chance of even saving the car if your not in it
Let alone being run over by it
