Log that close? Same thing op would. Die.
The logs don’t actually tend to fly out and backwards, they fall off to the sides, usually just one side too, the best option is to give them plenty of space and be ready to steer to the side not dumping logs. If you’re unfortunate enough that one managed to catch air enough to be sent back but not enough to change it from horizontal to more vertical the universe has already decided what you’re doing, dying
We have a ton of these where I live I’ve never seen one in motion fail I don’t find them any scarier than a normal semi who has who knows what, possibly something way more deadly and way less stable hidden inside the container
Log out
I haven’t been able to log out for over 2 decades 💀
send me the logs I’ll troubleshoot what’s preventing logging out.
There are medicines for that… 😳
I heard that KCN works great, I haven’t tried it yet. 🫠
(Warning: This is not medical advice. Do not try this at home.)
What’s kcn
Oh its just dark humor.
The comment I replied to said “medicine” and KCN is Potassium Cyanide, a deadly poison. Basically my comment is a euphemism for the fact that I wanna kill myself.
Don’t. KCN is incredibly painful. There are better ways.
I have a bridge near me, its like 130 feet ish above the water. I’m not sure if its tall enough.
There’s also the land area right before the bridge goes over the water. If I jump off from the part above land, its 130 feet into land.
I heard that your brain doesn’t even have time to process it.
That being said, I’m still kinda hanging on to see more TV shows and Movies.
The world is collapsing, and I kinda wanna see how this story ends. WW3? 👀
But I guess its mostly just the survival insticts in the dna that kinda made it difficult for me to make an attempt. The fear of death.
Its so ironic, 2 forces of you brain acting against each other. The conscious part that wants the suffering to end, and the subconscious desire to continue existing.
Welp, I guess I’m stuck here.
No quitting allowed, my subconsious brsin decrees… 🤷♂️
If you can’t bring yourself to do it, be it because you think people will suffer and be sad when you’re gone or that the world will be a worse one without you then you really shouldn’t do it. You most likely don’t actually want to in that case. There are exceptions, like terminally ill people who just can’t anymore, but if you have doubts about suicide, then you should see someone about it. Also, you will very likely survive ~35 meters. General rule of thumb is 50 meters for hard surfaces (concrete, compacted dirt, rocks) and 100 m for water. Please don’t jump from there. You will cripple yourself and hate yourself for that attempt forever. (There’s most likely a safety net too, so you’ll break a bunch of bones if you’re unlucky)
Well Good thing I’m in America. Suicide by cop is also quite popular.
Might just decide to take a few of these fascist pigs out while I’m at it.
Edit: I know you’re trying to help, I’m just venting.
Floor it in the hope my pulverized corpse takes the fucker with me
Stop, lol. The momentum from the truck is carrying the log forward. Realistically, it isn’t being shot directly into the windshield like a cruise missile.
Physics!
Never noticed that the logs fell off the side and bounced! The log would slow and the car would still be hauling ass, right?
And for those of you scared of log trucks, nothing can make a log slide off the top while driving down the road. They are jammed on there with friction.
EDIT: The log is still going 65mph (for argument’s sake). You’re still going 65mph (for argument’s sake). The log will slow on the bounce, a little, you’ll jam the brakes and slow more, it will still look like a fucking torpedo.
I have enough trust towards brake technology that I assume your car can stop faster than a log. I ass-pulled that assumption tho.
Brakes can absolutely stop faster than a log falling off a truck. Your reaction time is the main concern.
i’d argue a bouncing log takes a lot longer to slow down than your average car hitting the brakes
Press f9
I wouldn’t have been anywhere near that close to a fckn logging truck of all things.
I’m surrounded by forestry operations where I live. I can’t go anywhere without getting stuck behind a logging truck on winding and often slippery broads. It’s amazing how complacent I’ve become with these things.
Probably crash, my car is right hand drive so I don’t think the log hits me, but I’m pretty sure I’m not prepared to control a car after that kind of impact.
Shit myself.
Realistically, same, right after being crayoned by the log.
Try to avoid the big logs.
Swerve right with medium braking. Depending on the logs either swerve back in, or more likely crash into the guardrail as slow as possible, any oole/structure could take a lifesaving hit before you do.
swerve right asshole
assholes always swerve right
Passenger’s seat perspective. So from that angle there is nothing to do. It is always best to relax. There is a reason drunks often survive the crashes they cause that kill others. It is kinda hard to do in the moment without practice. In the crash that broke my neck and back, there are only a few moments of very hazy dream like memories that I’ve recalled over the years since. One of those was that I somehow tried to put up my hands or some way I tried to catch myself as I hit the jeep on a bike at 29 MPH. I only really remember thinking for a moment, “fucking never do that again” next moment I’m with some paramedics talking about getting me stable enough to transport and trying to get someone to call that could show up at hospital. I was only able to remember phone numbers and my address from when I was in highschool 10 years before and 2k miles away. I felt super stressed because I knew I was doing it but couldn’t figure it out. I finally remembered my sister’s number and relaxed, staying unconscious for 3 hours after.
That is what it is really like with severe head and neck trauma. Your conscious mind is quite disconnected from your limbic system. If you die, you likely won’t even know. I had no idea how close I had come to dying until many things that came out of the personal injury case that followed and stuff since then…
For me, I wouldn’t follow that kind of truck closely or casually at all. I’m aware of how it is loaded and the disconnect between the loader operator and low pay driver, on a truck likely held together with JB Weld and duct tape. But yeah, just relax. If you die, you die. No big deal. You won’t even know it happened, so why stress.
Hope you have recovered from or, are recovering from the injuries.
I have nothing to add except, fuck drunk drivers, I hope they all crash safely into a ditch.
And lose their license
And have to start their legal drinking age over again from zero
Dodge right and hope for the best trying to control the car in the weeds. Wrecking in dirt seems somewhat better odds than being speared by a thousand pound log.
