Confusing the gas with the brake😐

Confusing the gas pedal with the brake pedal 😐

M
Good to see person in pink get up.
S
i was so worried about her. damn
D
Showing more concern than anyone in the video.
A
They say accident victims in china are extra sue happy, even going after people who provided aid. There are also people who’ll try to fake accidents for this same reason. So it’s been sort of culturally ingrained that you don’t help people unless it’s a disaster level event.
S
not anymore. theres good Samaritan laws now. they most likely were in shock until she stood up
J
This thread assuming people are contemplating much other than *holy fuck look out!*
O
Reddit and instagram is LOADED with people watching from behind a screen, knowing every detail about the scenario including the outcome, judging everyone in the video for not doing exactly what they totally would’ve done
T
I would double backflipped onto the car, opened the door, yanked out the driver, slipped myself in and hit the brakes before any of this could have happened!
T
she might be in shock after standing up, too
G
> They say accident victims in china are extra sue happy, even going after people who provided aid. I’ve always found that hard to believe. > There are also people who’ll try to fake accidents for this same reason That’s 100% true but not limited to China. The comically badly acted dashcam videos usually are, but that’s because it’s a massive country and you don’t want to get on the road in China without a dashcam. The US equivalent is the “Swoop and Squat” where someone cuts you off and slams on their brakes so you rear end them.

Oh, as if you’d be there around helping everyone around you in a panic situation when you also have to be concerned about yourself, you never know if a thing like this will go even further, maybe the person is armed and wants to do even more damage.
C
Plus everyone in there doesn’t have the perspective of a security camera that is perfectly positioned to have everything in sight. They saw what they saw and this happened so quickly
C
Mr. Rogers said “Look for the helpers” in times of trouble. If you can’t find anyone, be one. I would absolutely have stepped in to help.
T
There’s no way in hell after a car rams into your building that you’d stick around, what sort of larping is this. Of course from the safety of reddit and hindsight we can see this was a mistake and an accident, but you have no idea what would be happening in the moment, _especially_ if everyone else is panicing and running away. 0%

This is exactly the issue. It’s really fucking easy to say this behind the keyboard and when you are not one of the people who were just almost rammed with a car. Trying to see if you can help people after the situation is over is another matter entirely, but during a situation it’s not only human nature, but also sensible to get to safety first.
E
Yeah, first she was smacked by the giant boulder, and then she was also hit by the car. Hope she only has minor injuries
C
Her friend that looks like police/security running away with her hands flailing in the air without even checking on her…
T
At first I thought she wasn’t going to get up because she was two tired.
X
Get out!
M
If the car went a little further she would have been exhausted too.
1
I thought for sure her arm got ran over
W
I think that big gray bucket or whatever the hell that was saved her from going under the car.
A
Lady in the pink waddled away like she didnt just get hit in the head by a car
F
We have evolved to have adrenaline for this exact reason
E
Grandma took that hit like a champ
B
I would assume that bowling ball that hit her feet hurt more
O
She was probably still concussed.
K
The car wasn’t the most dangerous object here… the big grey ball is a fully concrete decorative bollard that nearly rolled over her.
A
She got a coupe boop.
K
If that was murderer Johnathan Larson, he would have nuked the car.
O
I didn’t hear no bell! -Lady in pink
4
Shock probably
E
Came across this vid on a World News Telegram channel. Happened in Hunan,China (Jan 2026) Three people suffered minor injuries not sure if they went to the hospital. Info is still pretty vague.
T
They all act like GTA NPCs. That’s more WTF than the driver. Even the uniformed woman who was sitting with the pinky, ran away after pinky was hit.
0
They act like normal humans in a panic situation. It’s easy for you to overanalyze and scrutinize everything and everyone from a 36 second video from behind the safety of your keyboard.
C
“I turn now, good luck everybody else”
S
Somebody said it.
G
> Happened in Hunan,China That tracks. From what I’ve heard, the driving exam in China is mostly memorization on a closed course and doesn’t check if you’re prepared for actual road conditions. The people in the shop all bailing probably didn’t want to get caught up in any personal injury or property damage drama.
L
Somebodies social credit is going down
H
Oops, this wasn’t the correct pedal. Better do nothing about it…
D
That’s what I don’t understand about how this happens in so many videos. When do you slam on the breaks so hard the result is this? Especially coming from a direction that is most likely parking and not a road. Do people not tap and ease onto breaks? I’ve had “oops wrong pedal” moments that last half a second before taking my foot off and stepping on break. Nowhere near fast enough to drive through a shop like this.
E
There’s loads of stories of people saying their car just wouldn’t stop accelerating and pressing the brake did nothing, when in reality they were pressing the accelerator the whole time. They think the car is malfunctioning. If you think you’re already pressing the brake then you wouldn’t ever think to switch pedals. In other words, they’re morons.
B
> In other words, they’re morons. Gene Wilder is that you?
D
Panic. When they start accelerating, they stomp even harder on (what they think is) the “brake,” ending up with them going even faster.
B
in people with dementia the truly believe they are pressing the brakes, so they end flooring the gas and not understanding why they arent stopping.
S
Lots of times after they realize they plowed into something, they then throw it in reverse and floor it again and end up hitting whatever’s behind them. I was waiting for that to happen here.
G
Don’t need dementia, a 30-something dude in a Tesla on golf cart mode panicked and totaled my car in a parking lot because he hit me and then floored it.
S
It’s “brakes”, not “breaks”.
B
Give the guy a brake, man.
H
I dunno, this video has a lot more breaks than brakes
