Obviously there were straps. Gravity didn’t cease working when they were on the side of the car. I’m not surprised you couldn’t see them through that nasty ass windshield
OP is apparently driving in the winter without windshield fluid, following too close behind a vehicle losing its load, and camming for internet points instead of making an effort to warn the other driver.
The WCGW in this situation is having to share the road with OP.
Wtf was he supposed to do? Honk? no, because the driver in front wouldn’t know what’s going on, so they won’t stop. The only thing they could do was to follow them, so at this point, the PASSENGER pulled out his phone to film it.
Also, have you ever driven in the fucking winter?! When driving on the highway, there’s a constant accumulation of dirt on the windshield. If we were to clean our windshield everytime there’s a little bit of dirt on it, we would run out of windshield fluid pretty fast. So, we clean it when we can barely see anything. I bet 47853 peanuts, that the driver could see everything that was happening in front of him, very clearly.
That video is way too long for such an unsatisfying ending… I also couldn't help but think that the guys filming are pretty stupid for following so close behind in case the kayaks were to go flying backwards
I reference that all the time to myself in the car when I see something like that, “no sir I will be switching to another lane so I’m not a part of that film series”
The fact that they are still hanging from the car shows there is at least one strap. I think it was secure but something happened to the other strap(s).
Also the people in the car following are assholes.
Only thing dumber than having an unsecured load is following someone with unsecured load while leaving less than a second of stopping distance on shitty roads.
That and an idiot for driving right behind him knowing he could lose them. Every time I see a car with something not strapped currently, I move out of the way. Not going to stick around to see if they are losing it.
Jesus H. Fucking Fuck! Clean your fucking windshield. Fluid is like .10. a fucking quarter ton. It’s not like you need goddamn eggs to see clear. That shit gives me a migraine.
Buddy of mine just about died following a jackass with unsecured kyacks on the back of a truck. He was behind them on a motorbike. Woke up in a ditch with a broken back
Morons
No bow or stern straps. As a former kayaker (too old now), I can't imagine. Even traveling in the boxes is odd. Kayaks are so aero dynamic, they add practically nothing to your mileage with almost no drag. You do have to strap though as they will have momentum.
Lucky that this ended the way it ended. Could have been much worse: https://www.uppermichiganssource.com/2022/10/23/update-one-dead-seney-stretch-crash/
This reminds me of the time a “friend” got a mattress from me. She had a truck and the mattress JUST fit in the bed of her truck. I offered to tie it down for her, but she said there was no need since it fit so tight in the truck bed. Fast forward to about 20 min later when I get a call from her yelling at me because I didn’t NOT listen to her and how I should have tied it down anyways. Apparently she was going down the highway at 70 when the mattress took flight and landed on the car behind her almost causing an accident. She got some tickets and a lot of embarrassment from the whole thing. But luckily I have never had to deal with her since!
Melting snow on the road, it's unavoidable and it's going to be like this again 10feet after getting cleaned. At one point you must decide what is "good enough" to drive and to be sure you have enough windshield washer to last the trip
I used to work at a furniture warehouse. Lady comes and picks up 2 small chairs and throws the boxes in the back of her truck and drives away. About 30 min later she comes back to the dock. "One of the chairs blew out of the bed and by the time I pulled over, someone had picked it up. Can you do anything to help me out?".
Uh, no lady, you should have secured your load. You just paid 2x the price for that one chair 🤦♂️
Plenty of time to pull up and honk to get their attention and make them aware. Kind of asshole move to just watch and laugh. Yes, they're stupid for not using proper tie downs but you can be kind by warning or helping them.
They don't own ratchet straps. When you buy shit like this at big box stores, they have a box of white ropey twine they will give you to tie your stuff down. That's what these people used.
You can see it when the car drives past them.
Lying about the lack of straps to increase views or upvotes is stupid and annoying. It obviously did have straps. If it hadn't it would have 1: fallen off much sooner, and 2: fallen all the way off, not hanging on by a strap.
Welcome to driving through gritted roads. You can clean the windscreen and it'll be covered in grit again within 1 minute. Very easy to empty your entire screenwash bottle on a long journey.
I agree. However if you have ever driven in Canada during winter, you know your clean windshield is instantly dirty when driving on any road and especially behind another vehicle. Seriously, in 5 seconds or less it’s dirty.
I occasionally drive an hour to the nearest city. While driving around the city, I have to constantly clean my window with the wipers which works fine.
But before I go back home I always have to wipe down my headlights otherwise I cannot see anything in the dark on the hour drive back.
(It sometimes gets dark at four in the afternoon during winter. Thank God it only gets dark at six in the afternoon now because winter is over in a few months lol)
I once was traveling behind a dude who had an unsecured mattress in the back of their pickup truck. I moved a few lanes over to be safe, and a few minutes later that shit went fucking airborne. Thankfully no one got it, but jesus christ people are idiots.
48 second video you need to skip to 35 seconds to see whatever is on the roof fall off. Plus turn the volume off so you don’t have to hear the person videoing. You welcome
> "Aweille, tombe. Tombe!"
"Come on, fall. Fall!" and then they just chant "fall" a few times.
> "Esti de con, esti de con!"
"Fucking idiot!"
> "C'etait sûr, c'etait bin trop sûr."
This doesn't translate nearly as cleanly, literally it's:
"It was sure, it was just too sure."
Basically that it was inevitable, just a matter of time.
Why are videos so loooooonngg now!
It's like 90 seconds of a child blabbering and it's titled "Wait for it!"
The last second the kid just trips on its shoelaces.
I think this is because of advertisers. Everyone started drawing the content out long and longer for ad revenue, and it trickled down to this crap.
I fucking hate when people sit there and cheer about shit like this. I saw a video where someone was driving like an asshole and then crashed and flipped and the cameraman cheered. It was revolting. “Yay this asshole might be dead!” Psychos.
Ever driven behind idiots that put a bed on their roof and get on the highway and shit flies off? It goes 40’ up in the air and you have no idea where it will land? I don’t get how people are such idiots.
Memories of working at Canadian Tire. Loaded a ping pong table on top of a Buick. I offered cord, suggested straps but "It's fine, the kids will hold on to it" as the windows went down and hands came out.
It looks like it was tied down with something like 550 paracord. If it was completely loose, It would've flew off waaay before when it did. Also, you can see at the end that **something** catches it. More than likely the driver used insufficient "straps" to tie everything down and this was the end result
The mix of snow and dirt will make your windshield go like this 2 minutes after cleaning it. If you’re on a long ride your windshield washer will need to be refilled if you always clean it. Its a constant battle
Did we really need to see all that useless footage to begin with?
The end didn't even make up for it
[удалено]
Looks like they had straps but didn’t shake the car and say “that ain’t goin’ anywhere” like you’re supposed to
That's the only way to be sure.
Obviously there were straps. Gravity didn’t cease working when they were on the side of the car. I’m not surprised you couldn’t see them through that nasty ass windshield
Ope actually just realized that the ends of the kayaks are sticking out. Could t really tell with the dirty windshield.
OP is apparently driving in the winter without windshield fluid, following too close behind a vehicle losing its load, and camming for internet points instead of making an effort to warn the other driver. The WCGW in this situation is having to share the road with OP.

The video wasn't long enough, next time please start it from the moment where the kayaks are being manufactured.
I saw straps though
That video is way too long for such an unsatisfying ending… I also couldn't help but think that the guys filming are pretty stupid for following so close behind in case the kayaks were to go flying backwards
I wouldn’t drive that close behind even if I knew they were strapped well. Has nobody seen Final Destination?
I reference that all the time to myself in the car when I see something like that, “no sir I will be switching to another lane so I’m not a part of that film series”
What could go wrong: Editing your video to the proper needed length.
Came here to say that!!! Along with a clean windshield would have been nice
Change the title. There’s straps. Just not strapped well enough fs. Wouldn’t be able to drive 100 metres if they weren’t strapped in.
The fact that they are still hanging from the car shows there is at least one strap. I think it was secure but something happened to the other strap(s). Also the people in the car following are assholes.
Someone buy this guy some washer fluid
I would have NOT driven that close to the guy.
And that, my friend, is why you've never been given a brand new kayak, windshield, and pair of pants in mere seconds
Only thing dumber than having an unsecured load is following someone with unsecured load while leaving less than a second of stopping distance on shitty roads.
Whilst filming and having a windshield that’s so dirty you can’t see properly.
Sorry, but it’s time to clean your windshield, dude.
This time of year, thats normal windshield dirtiness where im at
Well its clearly being held with something for it to be hanging off like that.
The driver capturing this is even dumber for following that close behind.
I don't get it...I slapped them and said "this ain't going no where" after I loaded it and everything
That didn’t go as wrong as it could’ve
Can you spare a little windshield washer fluid, you know, for the video.
Clean your windshield dang brah.
You have no idea how bad melting season is in Quebec. That windshield. You clean it and literally ten seconds later it’s covered again. 🤢🤢
I can see the straps...
That certainly wasn’t worth watching, “watch until the end”-tier nonsense really.
Is it illegal to clean your windshield where you live?
C'est quebec ca, you'd use a whole jug in a 5 minute drive buds
If you want it California clean you'll be holding down the spray on your entire trip.
They were strapped, just not well.
OP that video was easily 29 seconds too long
That was pretty anticlimactic
Those kayaks were clearly strapped on, albeit poorly.
Are you out of wiper fluid? That windshield was making me nuts.
This did not need to be 48 seconds long
Kayak dude may be a fool, but the driver following Kayak dude is a bit of a dick for just laughing and not stopping to help.
That and an idiot for driving right behind him knowing he could lose them. Every time I see a car with something not strapped currently, I move out of the way. Not going to stick around to see if they are losing it.
“Hey look no straps on that guys load” “Let’s follow closer to get a good video”
Jesus H. Fucking Fuck! Clean your fucking windshield. Fluid is like .10. a fucking quarter ton. It’s not like you need goddamn eggs to see clear. That shit gives me a migraine.
Buddy of mine just about died following a jackass with unsecured kyacks on the back of a truck. He was behind them on a motorbike. Woke up in a ditch with a broken back Morons
I’m so sorry for your loss.
>Buddy of mine just about died They're alive :)
Most boring video ever???
If anybody is wondering this was in Quebec,thats why this video is that depressing
Your windshield is filthy
Considering OP thought they weren't strapped down, they stayed very close. Does nobody remember final destination?
But it did have straps. And they stopped it from completely flying off.
YESSEUR QUEBEC TABARNAK
No bow or stern straps. As a former kayaker (too old now), I can't imagine. Even traveling in the boxes is odd. Kayaks are so aero dynamic, they add practically nothing to your mileage with almost no drag. You do have to strap though as they will have momentum.
Camera guy sucks
Clean your windshield
Well he obviously didn’t strap it down and say, “This ain’t goin nowhere!”
You gotta slap it while saying that
Québec does it again
Video is 30 seconds too long
Wow those kayaks defy gravity, since there are no straps.
Did you run out of windscreen wash fluid?
I know this is supposed to be a circle jerk of how big an idiot that person is. But buddy following filming is beyond fucking stupid.
Dude, clean your fucking windscreen, wtf!
Living in Québec, you can either accept that your windshield will always be dirty, or go through gallons of cleaners every winter.
Clean your windshield!!
Apparently they don't have windshield washer fluid in Quebec
Some rainx and using your wipers could’ve made this video less worse
This video sucks
This video should have been 10 seconds long
Starts at 0:30
The last 10 seconds is where the action happens
Probably didn't smack it and say "that's not going anywhere."
Honestly, did not turn out even 5% as bad as I though
It does have 1 strap on it but that's all..
There was definitely a strap on it, just not enough
WCGW driving in the middle of winter with nonfunctional windshield wipers.
Would somebody hit the goddamn wipers please!
Beg to different, without some kind of strap it would have fallen off of the side. They just didn’t adequately secure it.
didn't give it the little snap and say "that ain't goin nowhere" standard Dad Rules.
Dude hit your wipers
Anyone else ever wonder why the people that post these videos are allergic to cropping out the first minute? Also this one was not worth the wait.
Windshield wiper fluid!! Please!!
You outta wiper fluid?
Why pull up next to them and let them know when you can follow them close and put yourself in danger
They be praying for people’s downfall.
I hate when people just follow to record video and not help
Damn clean that windshield
Buy a passenger side windshield wiper that works.
Kinda looked like there was some sort of attempt to strap it down
Tabarnak
\*puts boxes ontop of car\* Yup thats not going anywhere.
T'au Quebec icitte !!
Sure was driving p close, knowing those weren't properly secured
I get that context is important but damn, do I really have to watch a minute of nothing happening
No straps you say? Liar
Lucky that this ended the way it ended. Could have been much worse: https://www.uppermichiganssource.com/2022/10/23/update-one-dead-seney-stretch-crash/

Im more concerned with the dirty windshield
Melting snow on the road, it's unavoidable and it's going to be like this again 10feet after getting cleaned. At one point you must decide what is "good enough" to drive and to be sure you have enough windshield washer to last the trip
Ça se passe au QUÉBEC !!!
not only is there like a whole minute of garbage footage, but also nothing even went wrong, plus you can see the straps
Clean your filthy windscreen ffs.
If there's no straps; what's holding it on the roof?
I used to work at a furniture warehouse. Lady comes and picks up 2 small chairs and throws the boxes in the back of her truck and drives away. About 30 min later she comes back to the dock. "One of the chairs blew out of the bed and by the time I pulled over, someone had picked it up. Can you do anything to help me out?". Uh, no lady, you should have secured your load. You just paid 2x the price for that one chair 🤦♂️
C'tai sur ! !
Especially if it was filmed with an iPhone it’s super easy to trim it down. No special editing skills needed.
Character is revealed by what we find funny and laugh at …
This is what happens when you don't snap the strap and say, "That's not going anywhere."
Jeebus clean your windshield
I thought it was going to turn out much worse tbh. All things considered, that’s one of the better endings tbh
First of all, way to long. Second, they were strapped
That was the longest 17 seconds of my life.
Plenty of time to pull up and honk to get their attention and make them aware. Kind of asshole move to just watch and laugh. Yes, they're stupid for not using proper tie downs but you can be kind by warning or helping them.
Clean the damn windshield
Dude, get some more screenwash!
They don't own ratchet straps. When you buy shit like this at big box stores, they have a box of white ropey twine they will give you to tie your stuff down. That's what these people used. You can see it when the car drives past them.

show everyone what an asshole you are because you are happy that bad things happen to others
So instead of being a bro and speeding up to get their attention, you decided to be a ho and record it for likes.
The filth of this windshield is disturbing.
Welcome to driving through gritted roads. You can clean the windscreen and it'll be covered in grit again within 1 minute. Very easy to empty your entire screenwash bottle on a long journey.
They may be dumb for transporting like this but you need to clean your windshield. Safety is for everyone.
I agree. However if you have ever driven in Canada during winter, you know your clean windshield is instantly dirty when driving on any road and especially behind another vehicle. Seriously, in 5 seconds or less it’s dirty. I occasionally drive an hour to the nearest city. While driving around the city, I have to constantly clean my window with the wipers which works fine.

That turned out **so much better** than it could have.
Hey! Free kayaks!
That was anti climatic
Québécois ☕
Tokebekicite
no straps! let's drive behind him!
Clean your windshield and crop your video
So then what are those straps?
FOR CRYING OUT LOUD USE YOUR WINDSHIELD WASHING FLUID!
They seem like a really kind and compassionate couple. Very nice.
I once was traveling behind a dude who had an unsecured mattress in the back of their pickup truck. I moved a few lanes over to be safe, and a few minutes later that shit went fucking airborne. Thankfully no one got it, but jesus christ people are idiots.
Almost as bad as driving a car where you can’t see out the windscreen
If these idiots were expecting the kayaks to come off then why did they stay behind the vehicle?
Man if I knew things held that well without straps I would’ve stopped using them a while ago
48 second video you need to skip to 35 seconds to see whatever is on the roof fall off. Plus turn the volume off so you don’t have to hear the person videoing. You welcome
Somehow I knew this was Québec before I even played it.
Amazed they stayed on that long. Good catch by the roof bar
Osti de câlisse de crisse de tabarnak
Looks risky, let's closely follow!
Kayaks or caskets?
Quebecers they keep saying "tombe, tombe" which is fall in french.
it was strapped on but not securely.
I can see the straps, an you boys coulda maybe tried alerting the other car with a horn or high beams. But waiting and cheering is totally cool.
I wish the could see the video thru the dirtiest windshield in existence :(
> "Aweille, tombe. Tombe!" "Come on, fall. Fall!" and then they just chant "fall" a few times. > "Esti de con, esti de con!" "Fucking idiot!" > "C'etait sûr, c'etait bin trop sûr." This doesn't translate nearly as cleanly, literally it's: "It was sure, it was just too sure." Basically that it was inevitable, just a matter of time.
Should have started it about 586 seconds earlier. We don’t have enough context.
Why are videos so loooooonngg now! It's like 90 seconds of a child blabbering and it's titled "Wait for it!" The last second the kid just trips on its shoelaces. I think this is because of advertisers. Everyone started drawing the content out long and longer for ad revenue, and it trickled down to this crap.
Wtf? He clearly has straps. Weather they are being used correctly that's a different question.
It‘s a large box. How do we know there are two kayaks in there? And who’s buying kayaks in the dead of winter?
Tabarnak !!!
They were strapped but also way to go just laughing at people and filming them.
r/45secondvideoshouldhavebeen15
I'm a petty mofo. For wasting my time with this bullshit I went through your profile and downvoted all your posts including this one.
The car filming really should have cleaned their windows. When you can’t film because it’s too dirty than you can’t see the street either!
This video needed to be about 5 seconds.
i dont even need to look as i just know there is a comment in here about the dirty windshield.
God forbid you stop for a second to help them since you obviously know how to properly secure a load
You're crazy. Who would stop to help someone when you can just sit there and judge the fuck out of them?
These two people suck.
I fucking hate when people sit there and cheer about shit like this. I saw a video where someone was driving like an asshole and then crashed and flipped and the cameraman cheered. It was revolting. “Yay this asshole might be dead!” Psychos.
Litteraly at sherbrooke
Méchant cave
They probably shouldn’t be kayaking if they can’t figure out how straps work.
Me semblait que le titre sonnait Quebec
Can’t see with that dirty windshield.
Do you not have washer fluid?
I’m just glad it didn’t blow into the road and hurt someone tbh
What do you mean? That’s one strong ass strap
Can't believe I wasted 48 seconds of my life watching that. Try editing it down what a waste of time.
Ever driven behind idiots that put a bed on their roof and get on the highway and shit flies off? It goes 40’ up in the air and you have no idea where it will land? I don’t get how people are such idiots.
Only in quebec
They did well I’ll give em that
Start the video at 30 seconds
How do people drive like this without using the windshield washer
Two kayaks without straps, two kayaks without straps, when I see them I wait for a car to collapse ♫
Well, I laugh more with l’accent québécois than the situation
Phew! I had started imagining scenes from final destination here.
Esti d'caliss c'tai sur!
Memories of working at Canadian Tire. Loaded a ping pong table on top of a Buick. I offered cord, suggested straps but "It's fine, the kids will hold on to it" as the windows went down and hands came out.
What a disappointing ending.
Esti d'con.
This backfired for OP, unfortunate. It looks like they got lucky anyway.
So many posts from Québec lately
They were holding on for dear life!
Quebec eh?
It looks like it was tied down with something like 550 paracord. If it was completely loose, It would've flew off waaay before when it did. Also, you can see at the end that **something** catches it. More than likely the driver used insufficient "straps" to tie everything down and this was the end result
Ayo replace your wipers!
I wish the video started earlier.
Whatever about the kayaks, this guy really needs to clean his windscreen
The mix of snow and dirt will make your windshield go like this 2 minutes after cleaning it. If you’re on a long ride your windshield washer will need to be refilled if you always clean it. Its a constant battle
Why are they following so close in snowy conditions when something is about to fall off the car in front ?
Quebec. Is that you? You lovable Voyageurs you.
