Nope!! His shoes fell off, noggin smacked the ground, body bounced and body curled up in a fetal position! It's as real as it gets! I remember watching an episode on mythbusters about the shoes falling off and how much is need to knock a person out of his shoes.

During an emergency stop, the driver did not put up warning signs, and was hit by car.
UPDATE: He's alive in hospital with broken leg, other guy without injures
He managed to jump into the car trunk.

The driver of the black sedan who hit the guy clearly did not know where is the best course of action to avoid accident. There are two wide open lanes on the *right* where he/she could have missed the guy. Instead, he/she tried to squeeze to the left, without knowing there is a vehicle just on that lane already.

Well, if the black car does not steer left and stop, it would hit the Rav 4, and plunge into the van. The guy inside the van may get hit on his leg as well because his legs may not be inside just in time.

I would say it is 100% the black sedan's fault. He/she was driving too fast too close to the Rav 4, and not paying attention on his front traffic, and not steering to the *right* direction to avoid the accident. Although, that guy could still be hit by the vehicle filming the whole thing, but it would be just a bruise to the body.

Edit: one last observation. The guy actually landed on his buttocks and bounce off a bit. I wonder if there is any spinal damage besides the legs.

It's in Russia.

We should keep on talking about it until someone reminds us that this is a "random picture thread"...

1. most likely the black car didnt even know there was a stopped car on the road because the RAV4 was blocking the veiw(things get smaller in proportion to distance
2. most people dont expect stopped cars on a busy freeway to be ON the freeway still
3. the black car had plenty of room, he wasnt speeding, both the camera car and RAV4 were braking and the black car didnt expect the RAV4 to come to a complete stop(every time you see someone go on their brakes on the freeway, you expect them to trim 3-6 mph and 10-12 mph at the most), so the black car appeared to be speeding when he wasnt....
4. when someone stops short in front of you unexpectedly, you have a split second to chose right or left lane, sometimes you dont even have time to look for a car next to you in that situation, the wreck would have never happened if those kids were on the side of the road...

Both 1. and 2. are true.

As to 3, if the black car was not speeding, he must be reacting too slowly, or did not have the intention to slow down. When the filming car and Rav 4 were braking to stop, even before hitting the van, the black car should have enough time to stop if he reacted at the same time. Unless the black car has less braking power than Rav 4.

As to 4, I would say the driver of the black car simply does not remember his surrounding during driving. Why, just based on the start of the filming it seems that the black car is at the blind spot of the filming car, or behind. So imagine if you were the driver of the black car, you are going and then the car in front of you (Rav 4), and the car on your left (filming car) are braking suddenly. You braked or tried to run around it. Why on earth would you choose to steer left, and you know there is a car on your left prior whereas there was no car on the right?

So, there are two things here: the driver of the black car reacted too slowly so he could not stop completely, and he did not remember his surrounding situation and chose the bad route. That put him at 100% at fault.

About the last statement, even if the kid is at the side of the road, that does not guarantee he will not get hit all of a sudden. There are so many videos on YouTube that office walking on the shoulder of a highway and got hit by reckless drivers who do not yield to the left lane...

My "fakedar" always goes up when I see something like this. Why was someone actually filming is always my first question.

I'm guessing since someone earlier noted that the person only broke his legs this was a true event, it just seems odd.
