The Joy of Snow Accidents
I live in the greater Philadelphia area, where it’s currently snowing, raining and windy. Your typical crappy winter day. What with climate change, we all need to get used to hotter summers and even more crappy winters. Even London received the most snow they’ve had in 18 years this week. They don’t even have a snow plow — because they usually never have enough snow to plow.
So, on that happy note, let’s think about what positive things colder, snowier, icier winters can bring — a hell of a lot more accident videos to watch on YouTube. Positivily smashing, eh?
First up, an accident from Turkey that loks far worse than it turned out to be. On an icy day a young mother parked her car on a downhill slope. Apparently about to get her baby out of the car, slipped and fell — and the car decided to push her the restof the way down the hill. No one was hurt.
And now, skiing accidents. Sometimes, it’s difficult to know whether the sport is supposed to be about staying upright or about landing head over heels. This is a compilation set to “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go” from some place called Mont-Saint-Anne, where apparently you don’t ski on snow, but on stair bannisters. I like how you can sometimes see the shadow of the skiing cameraman next to the action:
There are other kinds of accidents done in the snow, too, as the dog and cat in this clip shows. Thanks to whoever “klonz” is for posting this. And yes, I have a weird sense of humor:
