Agreed. One phallic fail is kinda funny, in an immature kind of way. Two in a row is really pushing it. Three or more and it makes you wonder if twelve-year-olds took over the site.
What gets me about this fail: The fact that to get THAT much damage, the driver had to be travelling quite fast. I know campers/caravans aren’t built to be especially sturdy…but these underpass markers always seem to have limits of 20mph or so. Anyone know where this was taken?
It was taken in Bathurst, NB, Canada. There is a slight turn and then a small hill leading down to the narrow bridge, so it’s possible he picked up some speed at that point. I’d guess he was already going too fast though!
When you first start driving a truck you learn two thing quick –
1. To be aware of how loooong you are, especially since you have no rear window
2. Be aware of your overhead — especially tree limbs on local deliveries.
Anytime you see a big camper or a UHaul truck, just assume the driver is a greenhorn, and therefore a menace.
The above commenters are correct — this guy must have been sailing. That’s assuming he did not push to accelerator instead of the brake.
caravans are made light, so there not that strong.
plus the weight of the ute pulling it.
he could have done this much damage even if he was only doing 60 km per hour- 35-40 miles per hour
Do you think maybe people think before they do these things? Or what do you think they might be thinking when they hear all that metal tearing? LOL!!!!!
Rule of thumb:
If you hear the metal tear, you’re too late.
For many years people have researched the phenomenon of “pre-metal-rupture-sound-waves”, but it would appear it does in fact not happen. Somehow the metal “knows” when it teared apart, and then feel the urge to make the unique sound. (Mark Etal, 1964, Journal of metal tearing)
I once witnessed just a bit of a similarly epic fail. I wish I had been able to see the whole thing. I was driving on the freeway and passed a truck with a huge plywood crate on it. I thought “wow, tall crate” and wondered what was in it, but nothing more. Shortly after I went under an underpass, I heard an enormous crunching sound, and when I looked in the rearview mirror, the air was full of plywood.
Random I been there. I’ve driven for 50 years — I’ve had a truck lose it’s boat trailer in front of me & a flatbed semi have an 8 foot diameter sewer pipe roll off onto the Interstate. Nobody hurt in either case but it does teach you not to tailgate, right? Also avoiding other swerving cars is an equal danger.
OMG dude that would totally suck. I bet his wife beat the crap out of him for that. Actually, I bet the wife was driving while he napped! LOL http://www.Ultimate-Anonymity.com
Ten years ago I drove around Europe with my girlfriend in a rented Fiat. I drove over 5,000 km without a scratch. She drove it less than 2 km the whole trip & managed to take off the passenger’s side mirror on a gatepost…
My husband’s managed to wreck and/or damage all of the last 4 cars we owned — some of them more than once each — when I drive them the damage done was by other drivers (all of them male and all of them were through their actions, not mine)
first
Let me kill them all with a quick response to you.

It’d be easier to talk shit though.
Well, his name >could< be Nick…
first comment FAIL
Own’t

FIIIIIIIIIIIRST
I love it when they go topless
Why can’t we just have comments like this instead of 20 comments about being first, or showing someone first, or asking for cocaine?
why can’t you bend over and take it up the poop shoot?
Chute. Comment fail.
This comments comes off extremely lame after what “gnawyzus” said previous on this page.
nothing like the open air, huh?
Oops.
whats with the repeats?
The reason is that they’re incurably stupid. It happens with some people who have bad genes.
What’s with the repeats? First! Bend over and i’ll show you first!
Nice to see some classic style fail after all the lukewarm fail, probable intentional fail for humor and things that represented penises.
first reply:)
Indeed
Agreed. One phallic fail is kinda funny, in an immature kind of way. Two in a row is really pushing it. Three or more and it makes you wonder if twelve-year-olds took over the site.
you can’t always be an intenational b****
ZOMG OH NOEZ PENISES!
this is the closest i’ve been to first
Get used to it. Make sure you scrape the gum off my trash cans when you come to empty them tomorrow.
sign recognition FAIL!
Where is the Fail? Perhaps he/she just wanted a …special cabrio…

but you just got to look at the signs……
blind FAIL!

No way in hell he’s going to tow slowly. He’s a real man and he shelled out extra for a Hemi.
If you have a Hemi you tow with the pedal to the metal or you stay home and wash your vagina.
how much is diesel in the US per gallon?
approx. $5/gallon. About 10-15% more than gasoline right now
Longcat drives a loooooongtruck?
Wife: Sign…Sign….HONEY SIGN!
Husband: Oh please…
KERUSH!!!
Lawl. Stupid wife. Everyone knows the only way to get a male driver’s attention for sure is to yell “Tits!”
First!
I’d love to hear the phone conversation when they try and explain this one to the insurance company. Epic fail!
I sense some Macgyver in that picture.
MacGyver spelling WIN (I often see incorrect spellings such as MacGuyver)
I’ll let you off the hook for not capitalizing the G
“Can I ride in the camper daddy?”
“Well, I don’t see the harm. Go on you lil’ rascal.”
SLAM!
Also following directions fail.
Oh man, that sucks.
Do you think maybe people think before they do these things? Or what do you think they might be thinking when they hear all that metal tearing? LOL!!!!!
Probably something along the lines of, “Oh S***, is that me?”
“Haha, that dumbass camper that was tailgating me for the last three hours just crashed!” … “Wait…Shit.”
Rule of thumb:
If you hear the metal tear, you’re too late.

its called fibreglass.
FAIL
At least _read_ the message I was responding to.
“Somehow the metal “knows” when it teared apart”
Grammar fail..
Mark Etal = M. Etal
Humor detection fail.
Mark Etal = M. Etal = Mark et al.
Double word play WIN
driver fail, camper collateral damage
Can someone identify that trailer looking thing that is under the wreckage at the back?
doubtful.
It’s a small trailer carrying an ATV.
snowmobiles
LAST !!!! hahaha bitches
i would like to refer to a scrubs line (not completely correct)
“oh please why would they not make bridges so camper vans *crshhhhh*” JD
You just wasted your opportunity to refer to anything.
how did they manage that?

Yeah. When I say I wish I’d been able to see it… I don’t mean “from behind the truck.” I was glad to be well past it.
The next commenter is gay

OMG dude that would totally suck. I bet his wife beat the crap out of him for that. Actually, I bet the wife was driving while he napped! LOL
