I bet a lot of jeep owners buy their own ducks and put them on the dash themselves. I see a lot of stock jeeps with a variety of ducks and thought it was reserved for cool, modded jeeps. The whole duck thing is super cringe.

Last time i saw something like that happen a beer bottle rolled under the brake petal and got stuck.
It was even jeeps it at a burnout contest over in pigeon forge. |

It's so hard to get an idea of how steep things like that are in videos. It's a problem with ski videos too. Drones have done a good job of giving a better perspective but ground video is completely deceptive.

Quoted: Can't hit the brakes with a pile of plastic ducks rolling around the floorboards. View Quote Probably a lot closer to the truth then people think. I've seen water bottles get jammed under the brake pedal and ''whoops, no brakes.'' Loose shit when off roading is decidedly a big NO NO. |

Quoted: LOL, no. That's just gravity, a steep incline, and uneven frozen ground. View Quote I don't know, man. I get the camera angle makes the slope look shallow, but the small trees and the way those dudes are standing doesn't seem like it's super steep. It looks like all the steering inputs worked just fine on the way down. That Jeep's not skidding. It also seems like it's still pushing after the "camera jeep" is hit. |

Those two guys recording on their iPhones didn’t even get the best part.

I've been jeepless for a long while now. Can someone explain this growing trend I've noticed with the minivan jeep people? This main character in the op video has all the outdoorsy jeep guy accessories from the car wash catalog bolted on there but couldn't afford a matching spare tire and wheel?
Minivan jeeps are everywhere here and nobody has a spare tire. Jeep Beach clowns with there custom adventure look that need a tow truck to get home from the mall. |

I don't see how that was possible by a normal conscious human being could they had a heart attack or a seizure ? Dumbest driving I've ever seen. Doesn't matter how the camera makes it look there was no attempt to stop or slow whatsoever

Do we know what state that is?
I think that's a Michigan plate. |

Glad no one got hurt. Always happy to see four door Jeeps die.

This is what happens when these thing leave their normal habitat of mall parking lots.

It’s looked like the airbags were off before he even hit the first car. I wonder if they popped on the ascension and he thought he was still climbing, or if he potentially got knocked out by the airbag going off, which happens occasionally more than people realize.

Quoted: Throttle didn't get stuck. There's no way that jeep was going to stop after turning around like that. That grade is deceptively steep, and icy with snow. There was no way to avoid what happened. They were idiots for trying it and parking there. View Quote It most definitely was not freewheeling. There's no way it has that speed if you're on the brakes, and smashing the brake to the floor would have significantly arrested the descent as well as the crash into both of the other vehicles. I'm guessing a glitching pedal commander, panic after driver error, or medical event. ETA the airbag could have gone off on that first hard hit too. Now the driver is impared/stunned. |

Drones have done a good job of giving a better perspective but ground video is completely deceptive. View Quote Video really does have a way of sewing things, especially angles and grades. I watched it a few times. Focusing on speed, wheel size to the inconsistencies in the slope, etc. I think that grade was steeper than it looked. |

Did that guy have a bumper sticker that read, “My other vehicle is a mustang”?
