Yes, and they need to flatten the gravel and the ground under it so the trucks don't flip over so easily.

The ones in the mountains go basically straight up. I'd imagine they work better than this one.

GET OUT OF MY HEAD!

Runaway truck ramps are supposed to be loose, deep gravel to avoid accidents like this.

It clearly said it was a truck RAMP. I see no problem. That truck caught some air there, they just needed to move the landing ramp back a bit.

It's CALLED a "ramp". It SHOULD BE a ramp. This is a gravel berm in front of a wall. There are smart ways to make truck ramps, and this is not one of them.

My point? This crash was awesome.

deadly? who died?!

Maybe you didnt see the truck do a front wheelie.

Yeah, being lucky and not dying doesnt mean its not a deadly situation. The key word: Luck.

Fucken trade.

I hate my high standard of living.

Are you serious?

Even if every state had all the factories to produce everything each state needed, you would still need to transport the raw materials all over the country.

Unless you plan on turning most people into subsistence farmers, your plan is flawed.

I'm pretty sure Tits plans on harnessing a team of hampsters to use as transport mechanisms instead.

Because, think of how cute a runaway hampster ramp would look?

Dr. Tits has the right idea.

Fuh-Q.

I'm curious as to why THIS video brings out the morons. I like how you can never really predict which ones will do it.

Really? Cena_Mark showing up to troll political, left-leaning videos? ...You never noticed the pattern?

(I only bring it up because I'm assuming you're call me a moron. If this is incorrect, disregard my sarcasm)

I dunno, Dink. Tits has a nice idea, but namtar makes an excellent point. We can't have factories or farms for everything, everywhere.

Yeah, usually they are smooth lanes of deep gravel in an incline. These were hard packed moguls

What? Did you expect us to force local people to farm slinkies instead of transporting them? You socialist!

Yeah, its not like the cameraman could have gottan a branch or ANY random piece of debris and tried to smooth it out just a tiny bit in hopes of someone maybe not dying.

Yeah instead of being a part of the solution lets film the problem and place blame. Sure whoever put it there is to blame, but he's equally to blame for caring enough to film it yet not having the decency to try to smooth it out JUST A LITTLE.

I realize hes only one man, but jesus christ just lay down and roll around on it like a giant rolling pin.

Are you doing your part?

No way the camera man should have tried that. For a number of reasons. First, how could he be absolutely sure that whatever he was doing wasn't making it worse? He's a camera man, not a civil engineer. Secondly, if PennDOT or whoever is maintaining this discovered that he had tampered with it, they would hold him responsible for any of the problems. Maybe even claim that he messed it up to create a story. And finally, he was only filming a few minutes. How long do you think it takes to get footage for a two minute story? If he was planning on being there for a half an hour I would be surprised. There's no way for him to prepare for the truck. Actually getting the accident on camera did way more to help the situation than going out there and trying to smooth the gravel with a stick.

Reporters aren't supposed to fix the problem themselves like they're Batman. They're supposed to alert everyone to it so the mistake doesn't get made again. What if some company is doing this halfassed job all over the state, do you just fix one and go "Hurf problem solved?" How often do you free street repairs? Besides, that's about 20 tons of gravel.

Yeah. That's pretty much what I thought. He did pretty well though, came up a little short but other than that it was decent.
