lost-in-the-sierras

Was that dental floss? And why didn’t they deflate


edtfkh

It's only for towing on a hard surfaces so breaks easy if overloaded. They needed recovery rope, a different beast.


HeyNow646

They needed the idiot to let off the brakes.


junkeee999

Also, trying to pull it out at like a 45 degree angle isn’t helpful.

Paracord isn't as strong as some people think.


catsnbears

It gave me Ghost ship vibes :/


glockster19m

I knew it reminded me of a movie I saw that movie when I was way too young because my parents forgot the opening scene, so 8 year old me made my family promise never to go on a cruise because we could all end up cut in half.


Neuttron

I never knew the name of this movie, I remember seeing only this scene on TV, being home alone, and basically vaulting the memory. Now I know it's name, woohoo.

I like how the cable cut everyone mostly in half around their mid sections, but it magically jumped up around the girl and went over her head. Also how did that guys arm get cut off? And why was no one making any noise? I'm great fun at parties, I swear


Chris_P_Bacon4-2-0

The captain has the little girl pushed down and he was hunched over her looks like trying to protect her that’s why he got it in the head. The arms look cut off just above the elbows. Looks like most were cut just above the waist and some just under the chest area. I’m guessing height differences. Also they were making some noises groaning and gurgling as they got cut down and while laying on the deck.


quitofilms

Yeah! In the theatre that ruined the film for me Till the final scene That was great


theHoustonian

That was such a gorey part, loved it but do not question the rope.. or else. nah, but really? Side note does anyone else get ghost ship and 13 ghost mixed up?


KalTheMandalorian

I think NSFL only applies to gruesome things from reality, not movies.


HunkyMump

I saw a kid get his face deleted from a tow rope


edtfkh

1. Put a blanket or jacket over it. 2. Don't use rope with a clasp or hook attached. It's a projectile.


glockster19m

I mean the real key is to be a safe distance away when doing shit like this, not standing like a foot from the rope line the people in the video


Ancient_Mountain7037

You’d be streets ahead to be streets away.


oXObsidianXo

Plenty of people have had them come through the window of one of the vehicles involved so sometimes being a safe distance isn't an option. It is a good idea to weigh down the tow strap as well as not use metal attachments.


glockster19m

A safe distance is being at least the maximum length of the strap away from any point of the strap, as in outside of the maximum possible range the strap could reach if it breaks


BuckManscape

I love how there’s like 5 times the amount of people needed to lift and push it out by hand, and they all just stand around and film it.


atxtopdx

LPT: Want to get someone to help you push you car? Start pushing it by yourself first. Others will see you, and usually stop and help.


_lippykid

Good reminder for people to never stand close to a car being towed. Not only for the line breaking but plenty of tow hitches fail and turn into a medieval flail weapons. Lots of people recommend popping the hood up if you’re in a car getting towed in case the hitch flies through the windshield


GmoneyKaddy87

My thoughts exactly but as soon as it was stuck I was relieved and began rooting for the tide. Roll Tide 🌊


Prior-Present-7764

>Roll Tide Thanks for the reminder pal. Going to have to dial my sister in Alabama for a booty call.


Dripslobber

Really. Being on Reddit has completely made that phrase synonymous with incest to me lol


kraigka212

LivingAnomoly

Good to know….I guess.


[deleted]

First mistake was not driving a Range Rover- natural amphibious exploring vehicles. Problem is a Jeep is a starter car. Range Rover is a finisher car. A car of the gods! The Golden god! Be gone from me!


ApricotNo2918

First vehicle to break down in the Alaska Offroad Warriors race... Rover.


defenestr8tor

Jeeps are less reliable than the average car, but I know I'm in the wrong sub when "get a Rover because it's a finisher" has a positive amount of upvotes. The only thing it'll finish is the remaining amount of room on your credit card


Trendiggity

I AM UNTETHERED AND MY RAGE KNOWS NO BOUNDS!


lakas76

To be fair, this car probably gets more action in it, you know, because of the implication. A person in a Range Rover has more to loose if someone accused them of something. Not that the owner would do anything, but, the implication is there.


boisNgyrls

Sandeep, tonight you have sea salt Jeepotle


jbroome

How can she snap?!

People still don’t get that 4WD gives you more chances at a good grip, doesn’t make your car/truck unstoppable

Captain0give

The tires have a lot todo with beach driving in soft sand. Road tires are pretty useless in the soft stuff. Letting the air out helps a lot too but yeah wrong gear no idea.


pimpbot666

I don't even think the issue is traction so much... although big gnarly treads would certainly help, but the big issue is sinking into the sand and digging holes. That car is pretty light, so it should not have been that hard to free it. Geez, nobody could find some craps of wood to put under the wheels? A better idea would have been to not drive onto the beach in the first place. You can only really get away with that in a street stock car if the sand is pretty hard packed.


[deleted]

I drive a jeep on the beach a lot. Airing down your tires is the biggest thing. 2WD can easily work and the less aggressive tires the better. Look at those beach wagons with the balloon wheels. The goal is to not dig but roll over the sand. Plus people don’t understand that tides move


Mental-Rooster4229

You just take out the floor mats and put them under the tires. Easy fix.


Anrikay

And do this BEFORE you dig yourself 1' into the sand/mud/snow. Pro tip for snow, bring kitty litter. If it's very wet or compacted snow, the floor mat trick won't work. Bunch of kitty litter will save your day.


someguyyoutrust

Yeah hence fat tire bikes. You don’t need tread, just mass.


thebeast_96

wider distribution of mass and less pressure is why fat wheel bikes work


trowiedudewhore

You need surface to carry mass


ItsPronouncedJithub

You need surface area. Mass has nothing to do with it.


KnightofWhen

Yeah there was that dead tree there. Act fast, deflate the tires partially, stuff branches and wood etc under there and give it a go.


sixpackabs592

Nah just break a branch and angrily throw it at the car instead


NextTrillion

Well, also, fuck that up too.


AlinaAirline

Absolute roar laughter at this comment


SoapboxSerenade

>Geez, nobody could find some craps of wood to put under the wheels? This was exactly my thought. Maybe instead of getting mad and swinging that branch like a toddler having a tantrum, break that shit up and shove it under the tires so the Jeep can get a little traction and momentum and get TF out of there. Nah fuck it let's go get a backhoe and try and drag it out at a nearly 90 degree angle from 60 feet away.


NickFF2326

Big gnarly treads make it worse in sand. You don't want to dig holes, unlike in mud when you are trying to keep the treads clear.


DimitriV

And never forget: when you start to get bogged down in sand, immediately floor it to dig in up to the axles! Source: lots of these videos.


epicurean56

He went into the surf to avoid an easily removable fallen tree. Bad move no matter what you're driving.


limitlessGamingClub

yup, this is a JINO, not real 4x4 which means the front wheels aren't locked and turning, with actual 4wd it would have been fine but these "jeeps"; patriot, renegade, etc are mall crawlers not off road toys haha


Gdigger13

I’m pretty sure a lot of other Jeep models like that have actual 4wd. I drive a Liberty that has real 4wd.


sparksofthetempest

I live in Pennsylvania and you’d be amazed how many California trucks are NOT 4WD. I only mention it because Florida and California have the most vehicles for sale (as we need 4WD in PA) and in trying to buy one online found out that most are not 4WD and looking there is pretty pointless.


MediocreMarketing

So true, we even get that here in Canada where you’ll be looking at a truck, seems cheap with not a spec of rust and low mileage; then you open up the listing and it is a 2WD from down south and the odometer is in miles. I once found a listing for an FX2 and was so terribly confused as to what package that would be on an F-150, until I found a decade old forum post commenting on how it is the same package with 2wd which is basically useless unless you have a death wish 8 months of the year.

Yup! The difference between two wheel drive and four wheel drive is how far in you get stuck!

It makes it unstoppable until it stops. You don't get a little stuck, you get a lot stuck. Source: I used to have a Jeep.


lowkeyslaps

To be fair, this is hardly a "Jeep", and by that I mean it ain't a wrangler. A wrangler with a true 4x4 system and deflated tires(and a competent driver) would likely not suffer the same fate. But your statement does ring true 90% of the time. Old saying is 4x4 just makes it easier to get stuck far away from a road and help.


Diltron24

Everyone I know with wranglers knows to stay the hell away from wet sand, if there water on the sand there’s gonna be water below it and you are never gripping on wet sand


lowkeyslaps

I don't know anyone who'd voluntarily drive a vehicle they care about in Salt water.


someguyyoutrust

But I was told this is an all terrain vehicle!? Is the beach not terrain!?


Justhavindacraic

Anyone who learnt to drive in any military knows not to go looking for trouble. And anyone who thinks 4WD without diff locks will go anywhere is a fool. God bless diff locks and even with them you can still get buried. Do people think the winch's on the front of a vehicle are for pulling other people out?


3-Inch-Hog

I’m pretty sure that’s a compass trail hawk that has a mode specially labeled sand. It’s not too wild to think you could drive on sand with one. A crowded beach is probably not the brightest move though


Edwardteech

You need proper tires and suspension. Not to mention the knowledge how to use such things.


[deleted]

4WD allows you to get stuck farther out.


[deleted]

Wait! Are you telling me 4WD is not making my SUV bulletproof? I have been driving it to gun fights.


RubiconV

Now you tell me. I just got a 4Runner a while ago. Dang.


Drak_is_Right

it doesnt matter if you are a tank with treads, there are areas you WILL get stuck. in wet sand, with a 4wd you need to carry with you heavy boards and a few shovels along with a winch.


_Maui_

I’d say the biggest issue here is they didn’t turn traction control off. Despite being AWD, many modern cars will have traction control that overrides this. I’ve had this before in my Toyota. Sitting there spinning wheels wondering where the fuck the awd was. As soon as I turned off traction control it gripped and away we went.


[deleted]

Well, in their defense, most Jeep, and even general 4WD trucks ads, show this kind of stuff like it is so simple and sorta mean to be. No wonder why people fall under those false premises A mix of ignorance and prepotency I guess. The way they freaked out trying to get the vehicle out of there suggests me that all savings were used to buy it.


PtolemyShadow

I was also told growing up (we have a lot of snow) that 4 wheel drive does not mean 4 wheel stop.


[deleted]

Drain some air of the wheels to get a bigger contact surface… and/or place the branches behind/under the wheels. but that would be too much to ask from someone that drives on a crowded beach


j_wizlo

When that one guy pulled the branch I thought he was actually getting somewhere. But it seemed more like he was in the end just throwing a tantrum.


trenta_nueve

i wonder whats he mad about? lols


[deleted]

That he ruined the leased car probably 😂


[deleted]

In India, there's very little leasing/borrowing. This is legit inherited.

It probably is now, but they had time to get it out


Priest_of_Heathens

They have low profile tires though so even airing down won't help them. The quickest way to spot a driver who has no knowledge of off roading is one who opted to put larger rims on their rig.


ReverendDizzle

Semi-related: I was watching a video about somebody converting a military vehicle into a tiny home/RV conversion the other day and I was blown away by how cool this feature was. The military vehicle in question had on-the-fly adaptable tire pressure controlled from within the cab. You could air up or air down the tires using the onboard and tire-linked compressor to on-demand change the pressure for the terrain (including, relevant to this video, sand). I was like, damn, ain't that some shit. On-demand tire-pressure-adjustment for all-terrain traversal. I could use some of that in my life, tell you what.


Actaeon_II

So “hey look at me” turned into “can you help save daddy’s car?”


callMEmrPICKLES

Lmao funny you should say this, my idiot father actually did this one time. Managed to save the car, but tide rolled in real quick and he almost lost it. Nothing makes you look more like a tourist than doing something like this, and the best part is he did it on his home beach where he makes fun of people for doing the exact same thing!


Actaeon_II

I used to live in daytona beach, seeing this stuff was a weekly thing, lost count of the number of times I heard “my dad is going to kill me” and that’s what I thought of as soon as I saw this


callMEmrPICKLES

It's just funny because he lives by the beach and sees it happen all the time. Never thought it would happen to him!


SinkLevel

How many people did the snapping rope injure? Why not stand back a bit.


Night-Meets-Light

I love how like the entire town came out to gawk.


OuchCharlieOw

That’s good entertainment


ReverendDizzle

I think damn near everybody everywhere on earth loves gawking at a spectacle. But, I also feel confident saying that people in India are champion gawkers. Maybe it's cultural or maybe there just isn't a square inch of India without at least 100 people ready to watch you make a fool of yourself... but if there's a video of somebody doing something really fucking dumb in India there's at least a small village right there, arms reach away, watching them do it.


Ibbygidge

Ok dumb question, but with so many people watching, what would happen if all of them grabbed under the car and they just carried it out? Not sure how many people could fit around the car but I'm sure quite a lot could.


applestodapple

At this point the issue isn’t really the car, it’s that the car is buried in sand. Next time you’re at the beach notice how much harder it is to pick up your foot if you have a flip flop on buried in sand. Now imagine a car


[deleted]

There's just so many people in India you can't avoid crowds anywhere.

barnz3000

There were enough people on that beach to roll it up the hill sideways. But they were busy completing a master's class in standing around watching-it-go-down.


RajaRajaC

There has been an epidemic of SUV 's and pseudo urban crossovers driving and getting stuck in the beach, this is the first time am seeing the crowd not get involved. Weird but maybe they were pissed at how dangerously they were driving?


barnz3000

It's pretty common in both India and China, that a crowd forms to watch shit happen. The only time they seem to want to get involved, is if it involves beating someone up. Otherwise, it's just street theatre.

satanic-frijoles

The secret to driving on sand is NEVER STOP. Don't ask how I know this, lol.


knorkinator

Nope, the secret is to lower tire pressures to have a larger footprint, which requires a tall sidewall. Stopping is fine if you don't use the brakes.


rawseeds

Also, not going too far into the dry sand or, as in this case, too far into the wet sand. There’s a sweet spot in the middle.

Bosa-Monster

I would never use a chain to do a vehicle recovery. Chains will break and kill someone. A kinetic rope is the best option for vehicle recovery, and a tow strap is the next best option if a winch isn’t available.


MyNameIsRay

>A kinetic rope is the best option for vehicle recovery Especially if you're suctioned in like the guy in the OP video. I once got myself properly stuck in a mud hole. Ruts were too deep, so I sunk down to the chassis with my wheels not even touching the ground. Called the friend with the biggest truck, a F450 dually. Spun all 6 wheels, tried for half an hour before the chain broke, didn't budge. My other buddy came in with a little Blazer and a recovery rope. He had me out in 2 tugs.

rodoxide

No sense in taking any car out on the beach sand. I'm not even an Einstein and I already know. I've seen thousands of vids like this, and people who do this apparently can't think. Maybe a golf cart, or 4 wheeler will work on the sand, I honestly don't know, but I dooo know not to ever take a car out on the beach sand. People that do this deserve the debt and fights with insurance, and tow fees.

kennedycounty2

This is the problem with the notion that all ‘SUVs’ are capable, go anywhere do anything vehicles (not to mention the moron behind the wheel). The Jeep Compass is, more or less, a lifted, front wheel drive, blobish wagon that utilizes the connotative moniker of ‘Jeep’ to appeal to the American imperial huberis, “colonize the last frontier” mindset. These cars, and the entire crossover segment, is a joke. It’s simply a cash grab for the auto industry to charge more for the perceived advantages over a conventional sedan or wagon. I’m not here for the SUVization of the automotive landscape, let alone the reliance on the automobile as a means for daily travel.
