Car smashes into pedestrian, pedestrian reacts perfectly, walks away
This is scary, but it shows a scenario that I assume I’m not alone in imagining from time to time: What do you do if a car is coming straight at you and you can’t jump out of the way?
You jump straight up as high as you can at the perfect moment so you hit the windshield instead of the front bumper…

Whoa. I know he walked off, but that had to leave a mark.
Yeah, I bet he was mighty sore the next day.
i think that was planned.
I’m sorry for you then.
This gave me the best LOL of the past few days.
why on earth is someone video’ing driving instead of you know, WATCHING OUT for pedestrians???
First of all, its recording…. not “video’ing” and second, I feel like we’ve discussed the concept of a “dashcam” enough times on here already that shouldn’t even be a question.
This is what I deal with every day. FML.
I just laughed so much. Thank-you. hahaha.
Facepalms allround!
What….He broke your windshield and you just let him walk off. That’s a hit and run
hit and walk!
Grace :This is in Eastern Europe (probably Russia) so a lot of people use dash cams to record their driving because unless they have video proof of an accident or assault (yes there are a lot of assaults on Russian roads) then the courts often won’t press charges.
I never knew that, I always just assumed that was what all the dashcam vids were about. I suppose driving is different in all places… in this guys case… I think the video will not help him… he was driving like a douche.
That’s very interesting, RB. Thanks for telling us.
I was hit by a car in front of a hospital, pushing another woman out of the way. I landed with my handprint on the windshield. The driver gave me a dirty look and drove off. Thankfully, I wasn’t hurt very badly, just sore the next day. I imagined he must have been distraught about someone he loved who was at the hospital.
You are a very forgiving person.
I haven’t watched this yet, but the shoes and manpurse tell me it is definitely the former Soviet Union
This looks faked. When the guy hits the windshield it gets all smashed up. Then the camera bounces around and when it shows him flying off the window has been magically healed.
Or… He jumped onto the windscreen which being safety glass would have helped absorb the impact which is also totally plausible. Admit its plausible. Do it…
It doesn’t look like the windshield is magically healed. It looks like the windshield is magically no longer there. Of course, running a 100+ lb. human into it might have had something to do with that.
it looks absolutely fake
why on earth would someone have a camera going to tape this “accident”, shenanigans going on here, camera, staging etc
karen – see above comment re: dash cams.
So…this very same thing happened to me this past may in Australia…hit by a Audi tt doing 50k. I too jumped my elbow went through the windscreen and took a mighty big chunk of my elbow with it. No broken bones just surgery to get the glass off of the bone deep in my arm…blessed to have minor injuries and not to have another car after clean me up. But the insurance company is trying to claim I did 19ks of damage to the Audi…yeah you can pound sand Alianz
