Trying to stop a car sliding down a steep road covered with snow and ice on foot with your….hands might be a noble and meritorious act, but unless you’re hiding a red and blue spandex with an ‘S’ logo under your clothes, it’s a futile effort and in some cases, a very dangerous move.
An onlooker in the frozen city of Vladivostok in Russia recorded one such incident, when not one, but two helpful citizens ran to assist a driver whose car slipped on the road and was heading towards a parked vehicle.
The second man slipped and fell down, but fortunately, he was quickly able to get up on his feet and dash out of the way before the car could crush him.
While a crash with the parked vehicle seemed inevitable, in the end, it didn’t happen… See how it all went down, in the video below.
