Memnojokasel@reddit

Whats funny is in trying to film this scene they couldn't get the logs to bounce like this when using actual logs.

So the entire scene was made in CGI, because the director didn't like physics.

[-]

hahahahahahahaFUCK@reddit

You mean real logs don’t bounce backwards when hitting the ground at 40+ mph?

[-]

swirvin3162@reddit

Haaa- Right. …. Turns out physics does in fact work. Granted they slow down… but they keep moving forward

Race track. Bridge is final destination 5, that’s the best one imo.

Substantially older than Xennial, never seen a Final Destination movie in my life, but it's for damn sure I'd be backing off from that mess because I can put together some knowledge of trailers and physics and another thing or two. Predetermined outcome on that.

[-]

evetsabucs@reddit

Is that truck being stolen?

How in the ever loving fuck do you not feel the entire vehicle shaking violently and just carry on with your foot on the gas like everything is normal?

[-]

Automatic-Pick-2481@reddit

Seriously if he just took his foot off the gas it would have slowed down and stopped a wobblin

[-]

OllieFromCairo@reddit

Nope. That would have made it worse.

The trailer is already going faster than the tractor. That’s why it’s swaying. (A swaying path is longer than a straight path, so as they travel the same distance up the road, the trailer is traveling farther in the same time, so it’s faster.)

The solution is either to use the trailer brakes, which he probably can’t because the wheels are making intermittent contact, or to accelerate, which he probably can’t because it looks like they’re going uphill. But once you get some tension on the front wheel by slowing the trailer or speeding the tractor, it’ll pull itself straight.

[-]

So_HauserAspen@reddit

I'm wondering if there is something wrong with the brakes. Broke airline maybe. It's laying down skidmarks. I think the brake lights might also be illuminated, but it's hard to tell. They don't change brightness.

[-]

Stratospheric-Ferret@reddit

I don't know if it's different in the USA, but in Europe if there's a failed airline or fault in the brakes they jam on. The air holds the brakes off, not the other way around.

If that's the case then it won't be a failure in the system, unless the actual friction material itself has massively overheated.

[-]

Automatic-Pick-2481@reddit

Oh wow ok TIL, thanks for the explanation!

OllieFromCairo@reddit

DreadPirateZoidberg@reddit

You guys do a lot of logging in Cairo?

[-]

OllieFromCairo@reddit

Many Cairos have local logging industry.

[-]

DreadPirateZoidberg@reddit

Huh, my mental image of Cairo is desert, but that doesn’t mean it’s correct. Often times, it’s incorrect because I only see what media shows me, which in this case is a desert landscape with camels, pyramids and the Nile flowing in the background.

[-]

bootyhole-romancer@reddit

[-]

OllieFromCairo@reddit

I’m thinking Cairo, Illinois or Cairo, Georgia or Cairo , Ohio or Cairo, New York. I’ve never been to Africa

[-]

SporesM0ldsandFungus@reddit

Look up "trailer sway or speed wobbles"

This can due to improper weight distribution on the trailer or brake issues.

[-]

DidIReallySayDat@reddit

How can the trailer be going faster if they're going uphill?

[-]

OldJames47@reddit

The front of the truck started up the hill first (and thus slowed down) before the trailer. It’s only a second or two of time but with that much weight on the trailer its momentum kept pushing it forward into the slower cab

[-]

Scruffy442@reddit

Its confusing perspective, but he's going downhill. Which lines up with your original explanation of the trailer going faster than the rest, but cant speed up, because it looks like a long steep grade.

[-]

OllieFromCairo@reddit

He lost it before the video starts so we done know. He could have braked wrong in a turn, or coming down a hill

[-]

balsaaaq@reddit

It's the braking that's fucking him

[-]

So_HauserAspen@reddit

Might be an issue with the brakes. Cooked or broke an airline. It's laying down skidmarks.

[-]

mmoonbelly@reddit

One side at a time too.

[-]

Alternative-Light514@reddit

Yeah, if only he’d have thought to just stop driving like that. Some people can’t comprehend the amount of weight and opposing forces in play here.

[-]

Scruffy442@reddit

I think he is going down a grade combined with a brake issue making him not able to stop.

[-]

spottydodgy@reddit

I'm guessing the brakes went out

Rust_Bucket37@reddit

Uh not me that's for damn sure. The 2 lane state road near me has out of state log trucks running logs up and down it at all hours to he paper plant in the next state and those guys aren't quite as bad as the video but no way I want to be in front on them. They drive like they're already 2 days late getting to their destination, especially empty.

bakedveldtland@reddit

Once a logging truck pulled out in front of me on I95. They all fell off as I was right behind/next to it, I had to speed up so they fell just behind me. Obviously it was scary as shit.

The movie came out on dvd about two weeks later. My mother rented it and when that scene came on I had to leave lol.

My brother used to drive a logging truck, until this happened and it took him over a cliff.

He didn't die, because he got lucky.

They have to be REALLY careful when strapping these loads because physics is a bitch, and if the straps aren't done right, things shift and this is what happens, at best.

Final destination is an embarrassingly bad series of movies - by which I mean, the plot is so bad, and the people are so stupid, I physically cringe away and go find a chore to do or something, until it's over.

Reality is much worse than most movies anyway.
