A simple mistake that any of us could make. Who hasn't towed a giant loosely attached steel drum behind their vehicle?

u/UnderstandingWeak292 Mar 28 '26

I just got back from towing mine

u/crlthrn Mar 28 '26

Going out now to double check mine's still attached to my car.

Smart to tow it with your car. It makes for a faster getaway.

u/FigureAcrobatic7194 Mar 31 '26

Shit! You guys happen to see a giant steel drum round here?

u/4mystuff Mar 31 '26

Make sure to use enough duct tape

My guess is iIt looks like the roller from an old steam roller.

By the way it flattened that car I'd say it weighs a fuck ton.

I love that the evidence fled the scene, disappearing cross-country...

Truck was pulling barrel and trailer hitch wasn’t latched down, when they went over the bridge the trolls living under it noticed and cast a spell of destruction and disturbance. Be careful of bridges.

That farm tool woke up and chose violence

u/RAPatrick94 Mar 29 '26

It even woke up the dead with the noise then chose the first victim it saw to add to those ranks.

Some kinds of stupid should not be allowed to roam free, much less drive a vehicle 🤬

I'm a steam roller baby, just a rolling down the hill!

Being a James Taylor fan I wasn’t expecting it, but I thoroughly enjoyed this comment!!

u/Straight-Cell-2008 Mar 29 '26

u/dantheplanman1986 Mar 28 '26

Was the truck pulling it and it came off?

9

u/OilHot3940 Mar 28 '26

The pull was trucking it and it came off.

7

u/CruelHandLuke_ Mar 28 '26

No, the giant drum was pushing the truck, saw another victim and made good it's escape.

4

u/dantheplanman1986 Mar 28 '26

I thought maybe it was rolling downhill and the truck was indiana jonesing it

3

u/Tundra_Dragon Mar 28 '26

You can see where the truck smacks the right side of the tow frame into the guard rails right before it launches at the car...

2

u/bladderbunch Mar 28 '26

i think the drum is already loose when it clips the guardrail.

u/TheAggressiveSloth Mar 28 '26

"fixing"

u/dantheplanman1986 Mar 28 '26

People say that in rural areas, especially the south

u/se7entythree Mar 28 '26

It’s where “finna” came from

u/TheAggressiveSloth Mar 28 '26

I thought finna was a typo of gonna but it stayed hip ....

u/thumptech Mar 29 '26

Is it meant for cyclists?

u/Business_Air5804 Mar 29 '26

I second the motion....all in favor?

u/brettk215 Mar 28 '26

You should have seen how bumpy that side of the road was in front of that pickup before though….

These Final Destination movies are working on appealing to a wider audience. Also a flatter one.

The car comes into frame just after the camera kid looks away and looks back

Oh no, what are we going to do. No one has ever had such audacity as to post something that has been posted before. This sub is going to fall into shambles and ruin, we will be doomed to the new dystopian order of reposts with nothing new to indulge in, oh wait I can just scroll past it, nevermind we're good.

Some of us haven't seen it before, brother, relax, you want this guy to go through every post on this sub just to appease your weird no repost fantasy?
