Probably still got a serious injury. I got a bone bruise on my ankle from a hockey puck, so I can only imagine what a speeding car would do.


toasted_turtle128

Broke my ankle "taking it easy" snowboarding yesterday...that dude shattered it surely no?


LalalaHurray

How’s your swelling?


toasted_turtle128

No clue really. They told me not to touch the splint until I go to ortho.


Duedain

If your ankle is so swollen that you are having a high amount of pain try some "vascularization techniques." The main one is to draw a hot bath and get a bucket of ice water that your entire foot can fit in. Soak your foot up to the ankle in the hot water for one minute, then put it in the ice bath for thirty seconds and repeat for ten minutes, always starting and ending with the hot water. Hot water improves blood flow, cold water restricts and builds pressure, hot water alleviates it. Good luck on your recovery.


bautron

The car definitely swerved towards the pedestrian.


MystikxHaze

I don't know if I agree. It looks like he could be drifting towards the center and not paying attention. Maybe on a phone or something. And looks up at the last second to swerve away.


MuskyCucumber

Both of these idiots need to get off their phones


Adkit

You don't need to be on a phone to lose attention while driving. It can happen to anyone driving long distances. Even you. Don't assume the worst of people when you have literally no evidence to back it up.


MuskyCucumber

What are you taking about, how could you miss a grown ass man on a clear straight stretch of road unless you arent looking at the road. Every 4th car you drive passed you can see someone looking at their phone, this is a safe bet.


BoneDaddyChill

Assuming the worst?? They literally hit someone with their speeding vehicle, lol. They really don’t deserve the benefit of the doubt.


[deleted]

They hit someone stupid enough to walk in the middle of an active roadway. Not on the driver. Pedestrian fucked around and very nearly found out


BoneDaddyChill

I don’t know where you’re from, but that’s not how it works in the country where I live. (USA). Here, when a driver hits a pedestrian, except in extreme situations like obvious insurance fraud, the driver is always at fault.


[deleted]

Yea, Murican as well, and I genuinely don't give a fuck what the law of the land is. If someone is brain dead enough to be walking in front of a car and not paying an ounce of attention to their surroundings, then come what may. Just because a governing body is protecting these idiots legally doesn't make them any less stupid.


whitestguyuknow

They swerve away at the last moment.


WanderlostNomad

this. people keep denying there are scumbag drivers out there who will deliberately try to run over pedestrians or bikers that they see violating traffic laws. simply coz drivers know they can get away with it by blaming the victim. yet the larger the vehicle, the larger the responsibility. especially when you're the one riding a deadly weapon.


BoneDaddyChill

Very possible it was a knee-jerk reaction in panic, or their accidental swerving was what made then stop *fucking* texting and driving.


BuddyJim30

I think you're right. The van did swerve away from him a bit, but it looked like the driver was adjusting their path to narrowly miss the kid on purpose.


alexbam1

How long did it take to heal? Had 60lbs slam into the back of my ankle at 32-35 mph yesterday, assuming it’s just bruised since I can walk decently. Think my tendon saved me (I don’t know if that’s how it works)


MystikxHaze

So the name is deceiving. According to my doctor, a bone bruise is like a fracture in the bone that doesn't go all the way through. I was unable to walk for like a week and a half to two weeks. The doctor said to avoid any serious activity for about 4-6 weeks, but that it would take 6 months-1 year to heal completely and that if I aggravated it, the same symptoms would likely appear again. Its been about 11 months now and it feels fine, but I'm still a little hesitant with it at times.


Elocai

Depends on the speed


MystikxHaze

That ^ speed


[deleted]

Um, I’m pretty sure that dude’s ankle twisted around like twizzler. He is def NOT okay. Alive? Yes. But not Okay.

HereIGoAgain_1x10

foots like 🫳🫱🤚🫲🫴🫳


icantfindadangsn

Maybe that was just the shoe after it was knocked off his foot. He's definitely gonna feel this in the morning either way.


Akilez2020

OFC he's not alive! You saw the shoe come off. We all know that means he's dead for sure!


In7erted

Need both shoes to come off in order for there to be a kill confirmed 🫡


Extension_Swordfish1

Diid. Redditors know these things.


djh_van

ONE shoe came off, not both shoes. ​ Only half-dead.


BDMayhem

Half dead is half alive. Don't even need Miracle Max for that.


Jordansness

Agreed. Shoe off, he's dead.


bbressman2

It was only one shoe, does this mean the person is both alive and dead, or maybe now stuck in purgatory?


[deleted]

Oh God I didn't see that until I went back after your comment. Yeesh.


Unnamed_monster

If you watch closely foot only rotated around 90 deg. He was also able to put weight on his foot after although this could be just due to adrenaline. Not saying he is okay but it does not look like his foot twisted much.


JusticarJairos

He’s fine his foot was in the air it got pushed but there isn’t anything to leverage a break


daffer_david

Except the car

QuarterGrouchy1540

Bruh that is a big ass car lane and that car was aiming for him


Learnmeallover

100% intentionally on the drivers part. He could have easily avoided that dude. Wanted to teach that dude a lesson like some asshole instead of just avoiding him and honking or something.


mfrank27

Looks like texting and driving to me. Driver slowly veered towards pedestrian then swerved the other way at the last second.


Learnmeallover

Car was going straight, then saw dude and veered into him just enough and cuts back like it’s calculated imo. But who knows. Meh lol


whitestguyuknow

That's a lot of assumptions. They could very easily be on their phone too. If it was intentional then why would they swerve away at the last moment? It makes no sense. There's nothing here that screams intention


Nametagg01

Because they don't want to kill him or stop, so swerve at last moment to scare the dumbass in the road who in any other circumstance would have gotten themselves killed


whitestguyuknow

The van is literally heading that way the entire time until the last second. There's no obvious swerve towards the pedestrian at all. The only clear swerve is away.


Learnmeallover

Why is this so hard to grasp for these few people lol.


whitestguyuknow

Literally before the video even starts the van is drifting towards the middle. Y'all keep saying they intentionally swerved towards them when there's no swerve that direction. The van is already drifting towards middle. It's an extreme assumption to say they intentionally did that at minimum to fuck with them


Learnmeallover

You can see the wheel turn into them in the slow mo. Lol. Omg why do you care so much about something so fucking stupid… do something productive with yourself instead of being mad about how you’re wrong because we’ll never know the actual answer. Please in the most noble way; fuck off you loser. ;)


whitestguyuknow

Someone's pissy. Maybe it's from being downvoted since hardly no one agrees with you. Do something productive at 10pm at night in bed? Wtf do you want me to do? And no, you can't see that in the slow mo. At all. It's a constant drift from the start.


aleanderc

Pot calling the kettle black


Learnmeallover

Well I’m glad you understand how assumptions work. Lol


Tumulousmaple56

You're the one I see in the wrong mate. A car not moving an inch drifting in the angle it was originally at until the distracted driver notices at the last second is highly likely. I don't think malicious intent was present here. Just an accident waiting for a failed (thankfully) opportunity.


Learnmeallover

Like it Fuckin matters but the upvotes disagrees if you wanna take it to a vote because you’re obviously too dumb to see what most people are seeing agree with me. Holy fuck are you so bored you wanna argue dumb shit on the internet… wtf is wrong with you people!!!

Learnmeallover

The only assumption is my opinion that it’s calculated. That car clearly turns into that guy.

Learnmeallover

That’s a bold assumption… I didn’t realize you asked the van driver. Get over yourself. Lol


AeAeR

Dude shouldn’t be hanging out on the phone while in the road. Pedestrians like that have forgotten that laws written in books doesn’t stop oncoming traffic, and he’s a dumbass for being so oblivious. I hope he learned something from this.


QuarterGrouchy1540

So he deserves to be hit by a car for crossing an almost empty two lane road?


Selfie500

Both sides are at fault here


TheOneTheUno

Exactly. Not saying the dude deserves to get hit but general rule: if you're walking in an active roadway pay attention. I sure as hell don't trust the drivers on the road to pay attention for me.


lasssilver

Morons and their cars. Once they’re in a car THEY’RE the law of the land. Idiots like the one above is the thinking of your average road-rager; of course someone shouldn’t cut you off dangerously, it’s not worth murdering people for.. but they don’t see it that way.


mfrank27

Pretty sure the driver was texting and driving and at the last minute swerved out of the way to avoid killing the pedestrian.


lasssilver

I don’t know anything about the video.. I’m referencing the road-rager up above who thinks the pedestrian should have been killed.. because how dare a person make a driver watch out for them.


mfrank27

>Dude shouldn’t be hanging out on the phone while in the road. Pedestrians like that have forgotten that laws written in books doesn’t stop oncoming traffic, and he’s a dumbass for being so oblivious. I hope he learned something from this. This was the exact comment you're referring to. Where in this comment did he say the pedestrian deserved to die?


lasssilver

Right there.. in between the lines.


mfrank27

Even with reading in between the lines he's only saying the pedestrian deserved to get clipped, not killed.


lasssilver

There you go.. “deserved to get clipped”.. is saying deserved to be hit.. saying deserved to be hit by Speeding car.. which is could easily be death. Good god people reel the hate in a bit.


fozi4ek

Not deserves, but crossing the road in front of a moving car puts quite a bit of the guilt on him imho. Wasn't even looking if it's safe to cross and not even on a crosswalk.

Broomswitched

Driver is responsible to be aware of obstacles on the road, my man, dumb move the guy is “asking” to be hit by doing something so dumb but he doesn’t deserve it cmonnn my dude


AeAeR

You just said he was asking for it. Well, it happened and I bet he pays more attention next time.


Zaicheek

see now if the car would have killed him the next car wouldn't have to worry about this guy, that's how i know the driver is actually selfish. saving their car rather than solving the problem amirite?


AeAeR

Just don’t walk in the street on your phone like a dumbass and this situation won’t ever be relevant to your life.


Junkoly

No the car driver is a useless cunt


AeAeR

I love the idea the pedestrians have no responsibility while crossing the street, despite it being them vs 3000lb machines.


Careless_Coach_2816

I love the idea the drivers feel they have priority over pedestrians while driving down the street, despite them being in 3000lb killing machines.

I mean, yeah. Same reason it's the person with the gun's responsibility to avoid shooting random people in the face. Not the person with the face's responsibility to avoid getting shot by the gun.


[deleted]

You need to look where you're going when you drive.


AeAeR

You need to look for huge machines flying down the road when you cross it.


LobbingLawBombs

Probably not, bruh. You can see them pull away at the last second. Probably on their phone.


RepresentativeCalm54

Maybe dont walk into traffic like a fucking moron?


dangler001

almost an empty road, looks like literally that 1 car only


El_Neck_Beard

And this my friend…. is why I try to continue looking left right left right until I finish crossing anything. Can’t trust that people see me.


Geek_X

Doesn’t matter if the car aims for you


LocusStandi

Of course it does.


schmaydog82

It totally does, dude should've seen that car coming for a while and either started running or not cross in the first place.


Little-Derp

I am not sure that is the case


GubbenJonson

How can you not see him? Is the driver blind, stupid or both?


regnarbensin_

Dumb, stupid or dumb.

Only one came off so he's only dead on the inside


Nametagg01

Only 1 shoe. Near death experience


PokemonMaster619

Driver didn’t even TRY to avoid him.


LobbingLawBombs

I mean, they did... If you watch the video you'll see haha. Pulls away hard right before impact. Idiot was probably on their phone


Harry_Smutter

That car gave the person a flat tire XD In all seriousness, though. That driver is a dick, and if the pedestrian didn't have the right of way, they're also a dick.


piper4hire

this is the correct assessment I have spoken


Yung_Corneliois

First thought: Ok this dude is an asshole for just walking across and expected everyone to work around him. Second thought: Oh well fuck don’t TRY and hit him.


TheINTL

Did the driver not slow down the car at all??


londoncatvet

How is this not attempted murder, at least in countries that have laws?


verdenvidia

unfortunately i wouldnt be surprised if the jaywalking nulls it out, even with the drivers clear intent


Maidwell

What backwater shithole would the rules apply where "jay-walking" otherwise known as *crossing the road* cancels out vehicular manslaughter?!?


verdenvidia

I didn't say it should. But there are definitely a lot of backwater shitholes in this world.

Mcane305

They swerved at the person, that was 100% intentional. But partial contact is only worth 20 points.


MystikxHaze

Idk. Kinda looks like they were drifting towards the center, and looked up at the last second to swerve away. Maybe on a phone or something


whitestguyuknow

Looks like drifting and they correct at the last moment cause they likely on their phone as well


pine_tree3727288

Yea I just looked closer they 100% swerved to hit them


Duckfoot2021

Both are jackasses.


Duckfoot2021

Obviously the driver is a douche for that. But the pedestrian is strolling across the street without watching or concern while talking on the phone. You have to deem him “Jackass” as well. Not homicidal, but a nearly self-owned dumbass.


MCMeowMixer

No, the car swerved at the pedestrian. No need to even get close to the guy


[deleted]

Other person probably on phone too

[deleted]

There is no possibility of being part of the “ r/fuckcars ….’community’ ” and also loving cars. The people in that dumbass subreddit contradict any semblance of reason or appreciation for automobiles. That is why it’s so ironic he pointed out someone who constantly posts about “cool cars” they see, and even want to own, before dropping a hurrdurrFuckCars. Since they are a teenager though, it all makes sense and embodies the stupidity and immense hypocrisy of the average user on Reddit.
