not really what you think - but close
very unusual

Scorps · 07-01-2004, 05:03 PM

LOL thats great.....just think if he didn't get hooked up....that car would be totaled!

punx1325 · 07-01-2004, 05:53 PM

How in the hell do you manage to do something like that?

todd · 07-01-2004, 06:12 PM

Haha so the guy just left? It said he "jumped from the car and ran to catch a bus."

Tech · 07-01-2004, 07:04 PM

i didn't think phone lines were that strong!

BooRadley · 07-01-2004, 10:49 PM

Why that guy didn't turn off his car before jumping is anyones guess. After a miracle like that, he leaves it running and blows his motor. Go figure.

thadon · 07-02-2004, 07:36 AM

that is wild

Cynthetiq · 07-02-2004, 08:03 AM

how fast was the car travelling to get the car up that high?

Moonduck · 07-02-2004, 09:12 AM

It was probably stolen, Boo. He didn't care about the motor, he just wanted to get away before the cops got there.

I can't even imagine the look on the adjuster's face when the owner of this car called in the claim. The estikate must've been truly interesting.

Confederate · 07-02-2004, 09:24 AM

ha ha that's great

Scorps · 07-02-2004, 10:02 AM

I wonder if that covered insurance

rs8001 · 07-05-2004, 09:07 PM

I've been staring at those pictures for five minutes now. Thanks for sharing that link. Reminds me of this: http://www.ladder54.com/Photosplane.htm. Not so unusual for a plane to hit wires...this guy was just really lucky...depending on how you look at it.

RaDiAn · 07-07-2004, 08:47 AM

I would have liked to see that in action. That must have been some kind of ride from the drivers seat.

lefty8080 · 07-09-2004, 12:57 AM

Do you think alcohol may have been involved?

ducati999 · 07-09-2004, 10:49 PM

thats crazy.......

wrongfullyaccuzd · 07-11-2004, 12:24 PM

That's unreal...says a lot for the strength of the phone cables.

MSD · 07-11-2004, 08:29 PM

Similar thing happened to a relative of mine. Instead of hanging, the car tore in half between the front and passenger doors, turned almost inside-out, and threw him a hundred feet down the road.

BullHazzer · 07-12-2004, 12:31 PM

inconceivable!

who'da thunk!

HeLLVieW96 · 07-16-2004, 06:16 PM

my dad took down a pole with his 75 cutlass and drove away back when he was in high school. do that in a new car and see what happens.

I know what you mean, I hit a pole this past winter and well my van still drives fine...if I had a new car I would need a whole new front end and Air Bags.

Mine I need a Bumper and right fender $200(CDN)

Cadwiz · 07-27-2004, 12:37 PM

After looking at those pictures, all I can say is "WOW".

acpower · 07-29-2004, 12:20 AM

Hahahahaha.

NoSoup · 08-05-2004, 11:26 AM

Yeah, the strength of those wires are amazing...

I just recently saw an accident where a truck hit 2 poles - instead of knocking them down, they just broke off about 10-12 feet up, with the entire top of both poles just suspended there, supported only by the wires...
