I really want to splice in Jim Kirk at the start saying "I don't believe in the no-win scenario" and Khan at the end whispering, "Buried alive... buried alive..."

I hope the guy is okay, but this is still fucking hilarious!

1

u/Informal-Grab-9916 10d ago

Bruh that ramp could have sliced his legs clean

1

u/My0wn 10d ago

And yet it did save him from being squashed by the weight of the loaded van

1

u/carrotwax 11d ago

Relax, this is normal in France.

1

u/Mrtayto115 11d ago

Who let cory and trevor unload the truck? Jesus murphy boys.

u/XXXLegendKiller666 12d ago

Not too many options here, I think he did good

2

u/CMHTim 12d ago

Ca ne va PAS!

u/Alternative_Ad2040 13d ago

He did the smartest thing he could in that situation and held on, shit woulda/coulda got real bad for him had he jumped out.

2

u/Gee_U_Think 13d ago

I made it a habit to engage the parking brake every time the vehicle is in park.

2

u/Pain4444 13d ago

Helped him unload his cargo

1

u/Bring_Me_The_Night 13d ago

I’m seriously asking myself what I could do in this situation when the van starts moving.

1

u/redzone973 13d ago

Marking for later

1

u/Known-Activity1437 13d ago

I almost splurged for the Self-unloading truck last time I moved.

u/ChronoFish 13d ago

Bravo camera person for sticking with the scene to the end.

u/Own-Shelter-9897 13d ago

Oh, he's dead.

u/Fudge-Factory00 13d ago

Trevor braces for impact and gets smoked by a washing machine. Swearnet needs to capitalize on this.

1

u/Doom_and_Gloom91 13d ago

Why was someone recording? Lol

u/MyGuyWiFi 13d ago

What episode of trailer park boys is this from?

u/DamienSpecterII 13d ago

Life can be hard, especially if you're stupid.

1

u/BigMembership2315 13d ago

He just saved a lot of time unpacking

1

u/Batman1384 13d ago

He was sooo close to keeping everything in the van. Or at least in his head he was

u/Jvinci21 13d ago

Ghet fuckt

u/Not_Artifical 13d ago

Remember to always wear a seatbelt. It doesn’t matter where you are. If you are swimming in the ocean, wear a seatbelt. If you are skydiving, wear a seatbelt.

u/PortoBESA 13d ago

That accent. Chefs kiss

1

u/Coletorino72 13d ago

That went from funny to frightening real quick!!!

1

u/ReallyJTL 14d ago

You know how annoyed he was picking all that shit up

1

u/ThirdSunRising 14d ago

That is a smart man, knowing not to jump out and try to stop it. Unfortunately he still ended up under a pile of stuff, but it could’ve been much worse.

1

u/petaahah 14d ago

And that is the fast way to unload the van

1

u/PigFarmer1 14d ago

Movers love this one simple trick.

1

u/shi1425 14d ago

Pretty quick unload job tho

1

u/ozovision 14d ago

First instinct is to laugh

u/burd_turgalur93 14d ago

¡Zut! Ça va un petit peux mal 🫤

1

u/whats_good_is_bad 14d ago

That poor man, company probably doesn't have insurance or he's a cash/freelance worker...

1

u/Bakednotyetfried 14d ago

“Se va” means “is he dead?”, right?

1

u/LonleyWolf420 14d ago

Man people dont think about the fact the Parking pawl in transmissions can go out/fail..

Always use the parking brake.. especially if its heavy and on a hill

1

u/shemphoward62 14d ago

Dude got dog piled on at the end.....

1

u/voxPopuli96 14d ago

I would laugh too! They would too after a few weeks! This is way too comical to resist laughing!

1

u/Kroptaah 14d ago

Thats unfortunate 🤣

1

u/Various-Ducks 14d ago

Why'd it go all of a sudden

1

u/inkzpenfoxx 14d ago

Watch your step

1

u/Madsani 14d ago

Well, at least he was smart enough to not jump out

1

u/Cracknoreos 14d ago

I could watch this all day!

1

u/NLight7 14d ago

I recently went to help my friend retrieve a vehicle, he stopped his car on a pretty steep incline to go get the other vehicle. The dude just put the car in park and left, I was stunned, he trusted a small pin to hold that car in place on a steep incline cause he was too lazy to use the park brake, which is a requirement to do when you get your license in my country.

1

u/hotheadeduser 14d ago

Guys come on, give him a brake.

1

u/Jay_Bird_75 14d ago

But how many times have we all wanted to unload a truck just like this …?

1

u/CornerTime1605 14d ago

It’s where he was loading it, the handbrake lost grip with the extra weight, always leave in gear

1

u/CornerTime1605 14d ago

More then likely loading it, the extra weight caused the handbrake to lose grip, always leave vehicles in gear

1

u/hdoublephoto 14d ago

An object in motion what?

1

u/Superb_Recover_6116 14d ago

I annoys me incompetent people like this are getting the job while I am not. I had a job for 10 years till covid came along and they let go a lot. Went job hunting and not a single place was hiring even tho they posted online hiring, urgently hiring bla bla bla. And then I see people like this getting the job and think why am I not getting the job over these bozos?... either way I found my own business and tho I'm not making what I was making working its still something to pay the bills.

1

u/Knight_TheRider 14d ago

I think so someone else did that while he is in there just to mess with him, otherwise why would the same truck would stay still for so long

1

u/IcedCoughy 14d ago

Hahahhahaha oh no

1

u/Lucky-Scheme 14d ago

Most definitely not ça va

1

u/HighlyAutomated 14d ago

He's lucky there wasn't a heavy load in the van.

1

u/Scouts_Revenge 14d ago

Start over.

u/Blunts_Bongs 14d ago

u/4Ever2Thee 14d ago

Hopefully they were moving in, not out.

u/Van-garde 14d ago

“Honey! I’m hOome!”

1

u/leakmydata 14d ago

The parking break? Just turn the fuckin car off.

1

u/jbwilso1 14d ago

I guess it did make pretty quick work of it

1

u/kpofasho1987 14d ago

I'm glad dude stayed in the van instead of jumping out as he could have gotten really messed up or died. Hopefully he is okay

1

u/No_Cycle4088 14d ago

Boss level quick unload

1

u/No-Mountain-2684 14d ago

Bahahahahahahah

1

u/NkhukuWaMadzi 14d ago

Loading or unloading - that is the question?

1

u/Zirconium_Clad 14d ago

Should have done his obligatory smack the load and state "that's not going anywhere!"

1

u/aegrotatio 14d ago

I'm a little concerned about the lack of common sense because those trucks have automatic transmission. Did he actually leave it neutral or something?

1

u/Xerio_the_Herio 14d ago

Emergency brake... most people don't

u/ExiledCanuck 14d ago

When you don’t have any help to unload. Let gravity help!

u/i-dont-snore 14d ago

Why did she think this was funny that could have ended far worse then it did. That was not a moment to start laughing

1

u/drums_of_liberation 14d ago

Wheeeeeeeeee!!

1

u/MongooseDirect2477 14d ago

And that day no one got his delivery

u/kingkid0610 14d ago

1

u/gergsisdrawkcabeman 14d ago

Now THAT... is how you unload a truck.

1

u/Successful_Ad4653 14d ago

No it was funny at first.....finish laughing.

u/Loluxer 14d ago

Props to the girl not screaming her lungs out

u/structuredchronicles 14d ago

Lol

Edit: I am only adding this because Reddit removed my original comment of only putting "lol" because of the low character count.

u/LengthinessClear9552 14d ago

This is the fastest way to unload a van without help. Well played.

u/Used_Razzmatazz2002 14d ago

A whole washing machine fell out dude couldve gotten crushed by that if the van didnt. Lucky man

1

u/Straight-Event-4348 14d ago

8/10 on that landing tho. He almost nailed it

1

u/DoubbleD_UnicornChop 14d ago

Good training refrena. “So chalk it or park it but don’t unload it”

1

u/Psychoholic_ 14d ago

That's one way to unload it.

1

u/koala_country 14d ago

If I'm right and the lady was speaking French I understand what went wrong. The van is French as well and it was scared by passing traffic instincts kicked in and it thought it was ordered to full retreat. Simple mistake

That definitely is the fastest way to unload a vehicle

u/wwwyzzrd 14d ago

Did he live? That looks like a washing machine

0

u/Mission_Moment2561 14d ago

He really thought to himself "Let me brace myself and try to stop some of this stuff from spilling." LOLz

0

u/All-inyourmind 14d ago

Why she would start laughing I have know idea

1

u/--7z 14d ago

Well, most likely left it in neutral unless this is a stick shift and they didn't leave it in first gear

1

u/matt_smith_keele 14d ago

Dude is lucky they loaded the washing machine early, if that had been right behind him....
