18-Wheeler vs. Inertia = Crash

18-Wheeler vs. Inertia = Crash
Grazie to Roma007 for another 'great' upload, if that's the right word.

So, you're driving along the 2-lane highway, minding your own business and, as luck would have it, videoing the road ahead when a large semi passes you at speed. And it's coming up to a turn. And, well, inertia being the bitch it is, the truck just doesn't maneuver that turn so well.

Watch as the 18-wheelers flips in the turn and be glad there wasn't anyone next to him in the slow lane.

Turns out flipping a Jeep isn't so much fun either!

When Wheelies Go Bad

When Wheelies Go Bad
Thanks to josephaya for sharing how NOT to do a wheelie with us.

We think this guy might be feeling a little pain in the morning (if he's conscious) but, then again, if you're stupid enough to:
a) do a wheelie on a dirt bike on the road
b) wear shorts and a t-shirt
c) not wear a helmet
you got what you had coming and we're really not feeling any sympathy for you.

Want to try that again? Yeah, we didn't think so.

These guys, on the other hand, have both skill and the brains to wear protective gear!

Gas Station Oops...

Gas Station Oops..
If you've ever wondered how well gas stations are equipped to handle a fire, Roma007 has the answer.

So, you're just minding your own business, filling up your tank when the "highly-skilled & well-trained worker" behind the counter at the gas station hits the wrong button. Oops...

When the guy said 15 gallons on Number 2, he meant gas!

Let's hope the oil-rich country of Oman has similar safety measures in case geniuses like this get it wrong next time.
