Birds take over Walmart
Hopefully she was shoping there to save enough money to buy a new windshield...mom.
Onboard - Unbelievable road rage attack
Although maybe a good idea at the time, there is something called necessary force and unnecessary force in self defense (If my english is correct here). It means that i could use a gun to defend myself against someone who attacks me with a knife, it's totally legal to shoot the other guy in self defense (even if shoot him in the head). But if the guy already lays on the ground and I shoot him again, in the leg just to go sure, it would be unnecessary.
So driving head on into the guy, while he tries to jump on your windshield, smashing him down (killing him in the process), would be alright with the law, you're the hero of the day! But going into reverse and make sure the threat is over (even if you only run over his legs)... chances at court wouldn't be so good, just saying.
I think after the window smash I might have accidentally backed over him.
...a couple times.

Who punches through a windshield with their bare hands? That's got to hurt!
Pedestrian Bounces Off Car Windshield, Sticks the Landing!

I'm wondering what the ratio of lucky to unlucky Russians might be... I mean are we talking for every lucky Russian there are 10 unlucky Russians, or are the Russians just super-lucky and this is an expected outcome regardless of the individual involved?
Hmmm... I guess the driver wasn't so lucky since he was attempting to get away from the police!
There're a lot of bad, "snuff" videos out there from Russia. Though this is true for most, if not all regions. You can go find out for yourself and become horribly desensitized to all forms of sex and violence, or you can trust me on this.

Siftie won't let me, since I posted the original.
Still and all. Yep. That's a dupe!

Also avoids breaking his knees, which I count as quite desirable.

He was smart to jump into the windshield. Taking physics into account, I assume the shatter-proof glass giving in a little is what saved him here. Metal car frames give far less and the impact on his body would have been far worse.
Lesson learned.

Win triggered a bug. So now it is FTW -- for the win.
Voted on by Sifters. I think it is confusing -- too close to WTF.
Anyway, I "winned" it for you. I agree with you, I was just waiting for someone to agree with ME.

That's a *win if I've ever seen one.

No matter how you look at it, living in Russia is unlucky.

I think this guy watched a bunch of videosift russia dash cam vids and had a plan if it should happen to him.
Sounds likely!

Spray on Superhydrophobic Coatings
I'm going to ask some obvious questions here:
1) How soon can we get this into the general market?
2) When will be able to see this used on cars (windshield/windows primarily)
3) How much will this cost to the consumers to get this?
4) Should the coating be applied on roads and/or tires, what kind of effect will it have as far as tire-grip on a rainy day? (related: will this increase or decrease hydroplaning?)
Speeding on the Autobahn
I'm amazed at how fast the bug-shit stacks up on the windshield. I guess at lower speeds they are able to get out of the way more... or that part of Germany is just infested with insects.
