That wouldn't have worked because of the people there and the angle he wouldn't has to crash against the wall to stop while avoiding them. He did the best possible thing he could do given the circumstances.
He had a chance before the other vehicle, but I guess you don’t always take the decision to crash your own truck immediately you feel the breaks don’t work. With u turn, i would not be certain i could clear it without breaks, and going off the road looks deadly there
I think it’s twattery. Usually after a few back and forths, a few insults etc, then we can start correcting grammar. Doing it straight off is mad, how do they get past the first post every day
I usually also don't correct grammar right away, but it might seem like that for the ones that I do correct. 😅 because they were unfortunate enough to be the 10th one I read in a row for example 😂
Hindsight is a wonderful thing. In reality he had to process the fact that the brakes had failed and that takes a few seconds. Then he has to come up with a plan. That also takes a few seconds. By the time he was ready, that ditch and bank were well gone.
Is that including the other option of having the vehicle regularly maintained by a recognised professional and having issues repaired, fixed and monitored before they result in a critical system failure???
Had to foresight to hold onto the seat to ensure he didn’t get ejected 😀 wonder if this incident will convince him to convince him to wear a seatbelt from now on?
Yes and no, a lot of people in places like this don't wear a seatbelt in case it all goes wrong and they need to jump out quickly. Let's face it. Most accidents on a mountain road in an old truck, a seatbelt isn't going to save you.
Bro was ice cold under pressure. In those circumstances, that was probably the safest thing he could do. I bet he needed to change his pants after that one though.
Job well done. I like how the passenger tries to 'help' but the driver is too intently focussed on trying to save them to even notice.
I notice that just before the crash he wraps his arm around the back of the seat to try and hold himself in place. There's a seat belt hanging right there. Wear your seatbelt folks.
To be fair, compared to the other options, seems like a good choice.
In hindsight he should have crashed into the side bank on the right before that u turn, this was scary, but very fortunate outcome

brakes
Wow, why did i type breaks 😂
It was the second time that got me :D
Why did they feel the need to correct you? It was quite obvious given the context
Nah, it’s good. I prefer it 👍
Probably compulsion. I, for example, can't stand "would of" or "should of."

Downshift gears for engine break
He's doing that

I didnt even notice the side bank till i read this comment and rewatched
Absolutely terrifying though

Where's the fun in that?
You don't get out much, do you? Like to other countries? Where things are, unfortunately for many, very different.
Give that man a raise!
Lucky he put his arm behind the seat so he "didn't need" that seatbelt!
All things considered that went quite well.
My idea of hell 😭
Well his driving sabes their life…

Doubt it

Honestly, I watched with the audio off and thought the other fella had bailed out until the end!
I thought it was going Italian job at one point
I thought they didn’t wear seatbelts in case they need to jump out a bit quick
Exact thing happened to him a few days ago too
The wall or down the cliff edge. Not a bad result
Steady hands on the wheel ...Quick thinking. Impressive.. But yet again, if he knows well the region, he had no other choice....🧗♂️
Definitely one for r/maybemaybemaybe
Was the emergency brake not working?
Engine braking only does so much, but I can't tell if he did that at all.
Handled it, though. Phew!
Gears gears gears gears gears gears!
Good outcome.

That rocks stopped quite a few things in its day!
No seatbelt? Dumb move
Best outcome.
And yet neither of them at any point thought to put their seatbelt on…

Love that arm hook behind the seat. Sanjeev needs to put his seatbelt on.
I thought his friend jumped out... basically that what i would do heading towards cliff...
Maybe a law requiring MOTs and seat belts rather than just relying on god?
Speed is everything, can't slow down
I bet their underwear needed changing too
He fucking saved it! I would employ him if I had a truck.
Unbelievable he much damage he avoided with his skilled driving..
Can tell he put it in first gear, but considering he's going downhill that wasn't much help. Glad they're ok
Who would have thought that a well maintained truck like that would be prone to brake failure?
"well maintained"
