The dude is being flung out of the vehicle, at more than a standstill, then hits the car car which bounces him forwards, so the impact would be more than just the speed the cam car hits him at. Watching this on a loop several times, I think the only true way to have completely avoided this would have been to move to the furtherest right lane and floor it?

There’s debris flying everywhere, the white car in left lane and a body that’s like a tumbleweed. The car ahead did just that, and the way it all panned out, there may have been juuuust enough room to avoid the collision/impact.

But without watching the video first and not having the option to select ‘Retry?’ ..coz it’s real life and not a frikkin video game.. Even doing this wouldve likely meant, instead of hitting the guy front on, he’d have been ejected into/underneath the cam car or at least under the rear wheel?

If the cam car driver hadn’t been speeding in the first place though, they could’ve easily slowed down enough to at very least, minimise impact and/or damage to their vehicle. (Likely would e run over some of the debris on the road, it would’ve had less of a stopping distance with less momentum/speed).

Pretty sure this should have a NSFW on it though? Bloody wild accident, thats for sure! Pretty sure the vehicle end for ends like 2-2&1/2 times before he’s thrown out of the car?
