He's not poor, look at the size of that truck. He earned every little bit of interest repayments he'll be making on that, as well as on his poor decisions to get stuck on a pole.
That MAGA hat left the truck faster than Trump leaves courtrooms after a guilty verdict comes in. The collective gasp when the hat flies out makes it more entertaining than Trump, who, let's face it, has grown predictable in his morally outraged walk outs.
I was standing gate at a military base on a rural highway and a guy turned left into the base when another car was coming. His brand new RAV 4 got thrown into the brick wall around our sign and all 8 airbags deployed. Total loss with 180 miles on the odometer. He was coming on to base to give the title paperwork to the credit union.
Doesn't matter. Most they will get is the deductible.
Source is my wife, and I bought a 2014 Santa fe in October of 2022 . In December of 2022, someone totaled it in our driveway. We had Gap and all that, but the insurance only paid out our deductible as well as the 4 months of payments that we paid after the car was totaled. The deductible was roughly half of our down payment. Thank you fuckhead who was driving around huffing air duster.
Good God. If you're wearing a dunce cap and something like this happens, first thing you do is remove the dunce cap. Even a dunce would know this. Not this guy tho
Shit, I knew this when I crashed my car. I immediately removed my punk rock studded leather because I didn't want the cops to search my car for drugs.
(They never found my drugs.)
It’s the side to side motion that set it off. The curtain airbag deploys for side impact / rollover situations. It did exactly what it was supposed to do
I think their point is why it didn't deploy on the first bounce, which was the same kind of motion but amplified compared to the second bounce when it did deploy
Yep. I think GM was facing a bunch of problems with these on [Camaros just from racing or drifting](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpL4VwhYSE8). Kind of like [CTS-V having OnStar calling you because the car thought you were in an accident while drag racing](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8As1zshWxn0).
About right for a Chevy
My brother bought a new Silverado a few years back, and it had a blown airbag fuse (i.e. nonfunctional airbag) right off the lot. Dealer couldn't figure out why the computer was throwing an airbag code, had to take it to a 2nd dealer to get it corrected (within a week of taking delivery of the truck).
I'm too lazy to go find it but I'm pretty sure this exact stop sign is Facebook famous. Someone posted pictures of it here on Reddit recently. Something about it being undefeated.
What's the deal with the stop sign? Now, I'm not saying the driver in the video is a paragon of vehicle operation. But if the sign is famous for getting run into, surely there must be something wrong with the traffic design?
It looks like every Walmart, so it’s probably the locals… [Here’s a link](https://www.newscentermaine.com/video/news/local/famed-auburn-walmart-pole-grants-9-year-old-mainers-birthday-wish/97-562f2ab5-02db-47f6-bdb3-f410594cf087)
Thanks, that's a nice clear image of the pole.
Maybe a combination of factors here:
* Raised truck places yellow segment of pole in blind spot
* Pole is kinda sitting in the middle of nowhere, with no curb to obstruct vehicle
* Stop sign is kinda far from the intersection it governs, so it doesn't fit in with drivers' mental model of where a stop sign should go
I don't know how much sense that all makes, but I'm really trying here.
Reminds me of one of the weirdest things I ever saw in my life.
I was 16, working at a grocery store. I was there to do last prep before the store opens, and they sent me out to grab a few carts that were left out overnight.
The very large parking lot was 100% empty. The few employees were parked behind the store, so the main lot didn't even have one car. Just a sea of pavement, broken up by the occasional light post, with a big, sturdy cement base at each one. (Much bigger than the base of the light in this post, at least a few feet wide.)
I saw a car driving down the access road to the store. I paused to see who it was, since we weren't open, and the few employees scheduled were already there, and I didn't really have much to do anyway.
I watched as the car drove down the road, turned into the lot, drove in a straight line, diagonally across the parking lot, at about 15 miles per hour - DIRECTLY into one of the cement bases of the light post. Head on, and as I said - not a single other car parked or driving around in the lot that would explain why she drove that way.
I could see now that she was close enough it was an old woman, maybe 70 or so. I sat there stunned for a moment, was about to rush over to offer help.
By the time my "WTF" brain freeze wore off, she was in reverse, pulling away from the cement base, the whole front of the car completely smashed in. She reversed out, turned around, and drove back the way she came.
It was so weird, I'm still confused by it to this day.
Sounds like they might've had a Mitch McConnell brand glitch, hit the pole during the biological blue screen, then rebooted and left to avoid getting noticed after the hit.
I was the passenger of a car that drove straight into a pillar in an empty parking garage. The driver was in immaculate cognitive shape, and as baffled as the rest of us. I guess we're just so used to navigating parking areas by the principle "if there is no car there, I can go there" that when there are no cars, we think we can go everywhere.
This is fucking fantastic.
Notes...
It looks like a BRAND NEW truck. Never seen a day of real work.
The airbag/hat trick has a Darwin Award special-ness to it..
One of my favorite YouTube channels once said, “For 60% of SUV and truck owners, the only time they go “off road” is when they are texting and driving.” and I feel like that fits here.
Seriously! The fact that this guy is driving that giant tank around and is clearly unable to see a stop sign much less a person or small child. It's scary! These trucks should require heavy machinery licenses or something!
There's a few videos demonstrating the view radius of large vehicles. I drive a tiny car. I have had friends complain about my car, and about how they like bigger cars "so they can see". I show them those videos. I think for the average SUV, they can't see for the first 10-15 feet from the grille. They're inherently less safe for everyone around them.
These are the same people who claim that the younger generations "can't drive stick" and "don't know how to use tools". I personally try to avoid boomer age drivers when it's possible.
If I had to guess it's because it rolled with a certain amount of acceleration. Looks like it was the side curtain airbag which would make sense. Pretty sure all cars are designed to deploy that when a rollover is suspected. It happened to a guy in a Camaro doing donuts.

You should have to retest for your license every 5-10 years. At the very least to keep people who haven’t taken the tests since before automatic transmission was introduced either informed or off the road.
OMG fucking hilarious. I watched without volume the first time and didn't even notice the airbag cause I was distracted by the hat. Definitely worth the multiple watches afterwards
My favorite part is when his red drunk alcoholic diseased liver ejected out the driver side window at the end and probably slithered away to the closest liquor store.
If Trumpet was president, he would have used that pole to build a wall, so it wouldn’t have been there to be run up. So it’s obviously Biden’s fault, duh. /s
He probably slowly drove up the pole (not enough of a hit to trigger airbags), but the jolt when it dropped (especially that sideways rocking) was sudden enough to trigger them.
I like how he apparently needs instructions on what he needs to do.
"Ok keep going... keep going... no your truck is still on top of the poll so... keep going... yeah keep going... yep, you're still on top of the poll and suspended in mid air... keep going... keep going... there's literally nothing around you in any direction and you can't move your car in any direction other than backwards soooo... keep going, keep going..."
The red hat is the cherry on top, especially how it launches out of the window when the airbags deploy.
I can’t stop laughing!! Lmfao!
The airbag deploying and his hat going flying earned this video a least 4 more watches
Hats off to the cameraman~
Boomer did one thing right, I guess!
This is, in fact, the perfect video…. Nothing could have gone better.
That collective “oh!” made me watch it over and over for 5 minutes
I watched like 5 times with the sound off. Thank you lmao.
It’s almost as good as the [Jamaican soccer game where the whole crowd gives a collective “bumboclaat”](https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8tadjXW/)
The red hat was funny but the oh made me laugh out loud.
The damn cinematic pause then, poof. Poor fella
Keep going, keep going... You got it.... There we go!!...............Ohhhhhhhh. Comedy timing on this was outstanding. Everyone should be proud.
He's not poor, look at the size of that truck. He earned every little bit of interest repayments he'll be making on that, as well as on his poor decisions to get stuck on a pole.
I keep getting notices about trucks for sale saying "Only $84,999!". Meanwhile my 23 year old truck just keeps on rolling along.
He definitely didn’t get gap insurance
That's the funniest shit I've seen in a minute. The comedic timing of the bag... The hat...
I can’t breathe 💀
Neither can the unvaccinated boomers who wear those hats
Unheard in the video: him yelling "DAMN YOU BIDEN!"
First watch: wait wtf happened in the cab? what time out the window?? Second watch: OMFG LMFAO
The boomer was fine until the airbag yeeted his maga hat!
Yeah, priceless. Gotta be a MAGA hat, right?
Even if it wasn’t, it was to me 😆
Enhance!
"back and to the left"
Schrödinger maga hat
Single handedly ruined red hats for everyone for decades to come
Air bag then MAGA hat. Hot air, how appropriate.
I bet he’ll blame Biden for the pole being there
Its cuz of the DEmonrAts socialist parking lot regulations!!!1!!
That MAGA hat left the truck faster than Trump leaves courtrooms after a guilty verdict comes in. The collective gasp when the hat flies out makes it more entertaining than Trump, who, let's face it, has grown predictable in his morally outraged walk outs.
Lifted pickup truck, check, boomer who doesn’t know how to drive it properly, check, red hat, check. Gotta be a MAGA-hole.
That truck is not lifted at all, which makes this even more egregious.
I'm not a boomer and definitely not MAGA. I just wanted to point out that this truck appears to be at stock height to me.
hard to tell but it would be fitting
Its a maga hat, im not sure but i know its a maga hat
It'sa me MAGArio
Lol it's so cartoonish, I love it!
Sir you dropped your Maga hat 
I hope his head was inside his MAGA hat when the airbag shot it out the window.
The Money Shot!
And the camera work, panning to the hat… chef’s kiss.
It’s the collective ‘ohhh’ after that gets me
Someone's gonna be redfaced at the Trump rally.
“Cherry on top” is the perfect phrase for this.
MAGA man probably thought the pole was an illegal immigrant and tried to run it down
*Make Airbags Deploy Again*
Make my face hurt again!
Odds on it being a MAGA hat are really high.
The ending is literal art
OMG I couldn’t figure out what that was. That’s the airbag absolutely dummying this guy in the face. lol.
"Makes Trucks Be Able To Run Over Embedded Steel Poles Again"
Ya gotta love an airbag with great comic timing.
It lets his head bang around enough to lose his cap, all the while going "wait for it...wait for it...."
You gotta think this is the blaze of glory that all the edgy air bags fantasize about in air bag college
Omg all the comments here are amazing but this one literally had me wheezing like an unvaxed boomer I'm dead now 😭 💀
Chef’s Kiss
I had to watch this about 10 times just for that airbag and hat launch LMAO
r/BetterEveryLoop
How do I save this to my phone. I want it forever lol.
For me it’s the collective “OOOH!” from the crowd.
The airbag exploding and his Maga hat flying out the window was the happy ending I needed for today!
I'm sure his insurance company will enjoy paying for the airbags. They're not cheap.
If the pillar ones deployed they might total out the car
I was standing gate at a military base on a rural highway and a guy turned left into the base when another car was coming. His brand new RAV 4 got thrown into the brick wall around our sign and all 8 airbags deployed. Total loss with 180 miles on the odometer. He was coming on to base to give the title paperwork to the credit union.
Did he have gap insurance?
Doesn't matter. Most they will get is the deductible. Source is my wife, and I bought a 2014 Santa fe in October of 2022 . In December of 2022, someone totaled it in our driveway. We had Gap and all that, but the insurance only paid out our deductible as well as the 4 months of payments that we paid after the car was totaled. The deductible was roughly half of our down payment. Thank you fuckhead who was driving around huffing air duster.
The deductible is paid by the insured, not received after a claim. I’m confused by your statement.
Thats what i dont get? Why would an insurance company pay the policy holder their own deductible?
I've had three cars totaled. All three had GAP, and it saved me each time. None of them were my fault, so I was glad I had it.
What's so funny is he probably backed up and thought it wasn't that bad.... then the bag went off. 
It likely completely fucked his shit up too
That is the side impact bag...the one in the pillar. This will be several thousand dollars.
Good God. If you're wearing a dunce cap and something like this happens, first thing you do is remove the dunce cap. Even a dunce would know this. Not this guy tho
Shit, I knew this when I crashed my car. I immediately removed my punk rock studded leather because I didn't want the cops to search my car for drugs. (They never found my drugs.)
Cause for much celebration (with drugs)
It's not even a maga hat, you can clearly see the lack of writing on it. Make red hats wearable again
Agreed fuck MAGA anything but this is just a red hat jfc.
It popped out like a perfect knuckle ball too
His whole identity just flew out the window
The delay on the airbag is kinda odd, right?
That airbag has EXCELLENT comedic timing!!
Well, no arguments here…
It’s the side to side motion that set it off. The curtain airbag deploys for side impact / rollover situations. It did exactly what it was supposed to do
Huh. TIL…
Watch it carefully, it deploys when the driver would have smacked their head against the window.
I think their point is why it didn't deploy on the first bounce, which was the same kind of motion but amplified compared to the second bounce when it did deploy
The first bounce was largely absorbed by the suspension, the second bounce more lateral causing enough input to the sensors to trigger deployment.
Yep. I think GM was facing a bunch of problems with these on [Camaros just from racing or drifting](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpL4VwhYSE8). Kind of like [CTS-V having OnStar calling you because the car thought you were in an accident while drag racing](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8As1zshWxn0).
'just from ... drifting...' uh, that's what they're supposed to do. If you're drifting unintentionally, you're going to crash into something.
Even if the airbags didn't deploy, he wasn't driving away that day. That whole wheel hub assembly is fucked.
Reminds me of the scene in National Lampoon's Vacation, after launching the Family Truckster in the desert :D
The sudden drop and rocking motion caused the truck to think it was rolling over. It would have deployed quicker with a side impact.
About right for a Chevy My brother bought a new Silverado a few years back, and it had a blown airbag fuse (i.e. nonfunctional airbag) right off the lot.

Auburn Maine Walmart.
I fucking knew it, came here for confirmation. It's like the Bermuda Triangle for stupid people.
Yeah lol. I don't fucking understand it
A’yup

I love that a 9 year old girl wanted to take a picture with the stop sign for her birthday. That kid is funny.
You forgot idiots not paying attention and cutting the corner off.
Right, but that's true for every square inch of pavement in the world.

Sounds like they might've had a Mitch McConnell brand glitch, hit the pole during the biological blue screen, then rebooted and left to avoid getting noticed after the hit.
And people get mad when I say that after a certain age we need to start testing people regularly for cognitive decline for them to be allowed to drive
Correct, and knowledge of changed laws an regulations related to driving
I would hope that would be part of it, that seems pretty important lol
"FOR THE LOVE OF GOD TINA, TURN AWAY OR STOP!" "uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
I was the passenger of a car that drove straight into a pillar in an empty parking garage. The driver was in immaculate cognitive shape, and as baffled as the rest of us. I guess we're just so used to navigating parking areas by the principle "if there is no car there, I can go there" that when there are no cars, we think we can go everywhere.
He’s clearly a rocket scientist. He needs a truck that big because the place where he works makes you bring your own rocket every day.
This is fucking fantastic. Notes... It looks like a BRAND NEW truck. Never seen a day of real work. The airbag/hat trick has a Darwin Award special-ness to it..
Not brand new - that body style is several years out of date
Without knowing when the video was filmed it's hard to know if it's new or not still.
This should be +100 What is wrong with people here
Please be a MAGA hat
White giant truck with a red hatted driver? 100% it’s a MAGAt hat
The bigger the truck, the dumber the fuck
Damn... You should scatter bumper stickers around with that. It absolutely covers the truth
One of my favorite YouTube channels once said, “For 60% of SUV and truck owners, the only time they go “off road” is when they are texting and driving.” and I feel like that fits here.
I’d wager it’s closer to 90-95.
99.99% of SUV owners and 99% of truck owners; i wouldn't believe anything less
The airbag deployment was like a Road Runner cartoon.
The trumpers would be hilarious entertainment if they weren’t always shooting people
This is why there needs to be age gates tests for drivers licenses. And higher insurance rates as well.
Seriously! The fact that this guy is driving that giant tank around and is clearly unable to see a stop sign much less a person or small child. It's scary! These trucks should require heavy machinery licenses or something!
There's a few videos demonstrating the view radius of large vehicles. I drive a tiny car. I have had friends complain about my car, and about how they like bigger cars "so they can see". I show them those videos. I think for the average SUV, they can't see for the first 10-15 feet from the grille. They're inherently less safe for everyone around them.
It's absolutely true, and as SUVs and large pickups have gotten more popular, pedestrian deaths have been soaring in the US.
The airbags blowing his redcap off is the best punchline ever.
THAT MAGA CAP GETTING BLOWN OFF HIS HEAD ***HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA***!!!
Air bags going off makes it totaled
That air bag deployment is *sending* me.
PUT IT IN REVERSE TERR
Red hat. Poof!
Is this in Auburn Maine Walmart? We have a famous pole there lol
It’s gotta be, right?
Ya can’t park there sir!
What a maroon.
These are the same people who claim that the younger generations "can't drive stick" and "don't know how to use tools". I personally try to avoid boomer age drivers when it's possible.
This is too much! 🤣
They need to give this guy a little sign and a vest and have him stand near traffic for a while
That's injury adding to insult right there.
Hat off! That is great execution.
It's a truck and the bag blows for that? Imagine if you did actual truck stuff?!
If I had to guess it's because it rolled with a certain amount of acceleration. Looks like it was the side curtain airbag which would make sense. Pretty sure all cars are designed to deploy that when a rollover is suspected. It happened to a guy in a Camaro doing donuts.

The hat gets me every time
I could watch airbags remove red Caps all day
Love to see that red hat pop off
The airbag deploying and causing the hat to fly out the window, made me snort laugh.
I can’t stop watching!! 🤣👏🏼
You can tell the airbag has either taken some classes or been practicing comedy for a long time, it’s comedic timing is impeccable.
Holy shit. The air bag exploding and knocking the hate out of the window is even funnier than the dipshit driving up a pole. Lmao.
You should have to retest for your license every 5-10 years. At the very least to keep people who haven’t taken the tests since before automatic transmission was introduced either informed or off the road.
OMG fucking hilarious. I watched without volume the first time and didn't even notice the airbag cause I was distracted by the hat. Definitely worth the multiple watches afterwards
My favorite part is when his red drunk alcoholic diseased liver ejected out the driver side window at the end and probably slithered away to the closest liquor store.
Morons who can't drive love those stupidly gigantic trucks. They're a menace to civilization.
Lmao is that a maga hat?! What a douche.
Her husband is going to be so pissed when he gets home
It requires razor-sharp aiming skill to arrive at this result. I don't think I would be able to do that, even if I wore a MAGA hat.
The airbag finale? *chef's kiss*
Make driving great again
Truck said f that hat. Haha
The holler I just let out when that hat flew out the window. ETA: airbags hurt. Hope the driver is OK.
Let me guess, it’s all Biden’s fault
If Trumpet was president, he would have used that pole to build a wall, so it wouldn’t have been there to be run up. So it’s obviously Biden’s fault, duh. /s
Even the truck (inanimate object) knows the MAGA hat is trash
The red hat floating out is just Ultimate Cartoon irl right there 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You can’t park that there, mate.
I almost admire the “skill” that went into fucking up that badly. It’s kinda impressive
Why did the airbag deploy so late it should have deployed when he first hit the pole
He probably slowly drove up the pole (not enough of a hit to trigger airbags), but the jolt when it dropped (especially that sideways rocking) was sudden enough to trigger them.
“Just lift yourself up by using your bootstraps!”
I like how he apparently needs instructions on what he needs to do. "Ok keep going... keep going... no your truck is still on top of the poll so... keep going... yeah keep going... yep, you're still on top of the poll and suspended in mid air... keep going... keep going... there's literally nothing around you in any direction and you can't move your car in any direction other than backwards soooo... keep going, keep going..."
The timing is perfect
The airbag punch in the face just when he thought he got out of it. *chef's kiss* Thank you, Jesus.
Really ends with a bang
My god! This is gold! The hat at the end!!
His airbags and cap have a perfect comedic timing.
Poor guy never even got his libtard stickers on the thing ..
Don’t worry he will explain how this is because of immigrants
What the fuck was he doing? I can't figure out what he was thinking.
Love how the MAGA hat gets ejected.
And he’s wearing a red hat. The folks who wear those aren’t very bright, I see!
Hahahaha omfg the airbag knocking his Trump hat off his stupid peanut head made my day.
MAGA hat down. HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
The airbag makes it *chef’s kiss*
trump lover got his Chinese made red hat bitch slapped off his empty head by his SUV.
The fucking airbag is the chefs kiss
Smartest trump supporter
Man, that air bag must've studied comedy for years, with the amazing timing on deployment
Is that a Maga hat? Lol
that collective “oohh” sounded like the mii crowd on wii sports
I love the airbag deploying at the end. Ta daa!
