I dunno....something about this vid is tweaking my spidey sense. Fake?

shit russia.. why you gotta stop in the middle of the highway like that?

damn russia.. how the fuck can't you see people stopped in the middle of the highway like that?!?!

If it was pointed at the scene in the first, unedited clip, I would agree, but it's obviously just another Russian-Cars-Now-Come-With-HD-Crash-Cams-Like-We-Have-Big-Subwoofers video.

In the slow-mo replay, around the :20 mark, look carefully at the guy who gets hit. The image of him (and him only) appears to shift positions. Maybe it's just an optical illusion and I think too much.

Or, because the impact was so ferocious, his body changed positions nearly instantaneously. This is horrible.

Stopping distance. Physics and cheap brakes are a bitch.

Why were they out and about anyways? Why were they going to their trunk? Don't tell me they are changing their spare. Worst place to stop on a highway. Even on the side is dangerous...

didnt even have to go to the Y N C

This must be fake its like a 180° turn around his z axis in one frame... ONE FRAME

Yeah, fake. The kid disappears and then reappears magically from one spot to the other. 0:30 in the slow mo replay, as others have pointed out.

At first there did seem like there was something off about this, but if you watch the flip-guy frame by frame, everything makes sense re physics + timing and fits together too well re likelihood.

I think the reason i suspected fake initially was just the bewilderment of someone climbing into their boot to avoid having their legs crashed, little too hard to see if they succeeded, and another guy standing out in the middle of another lane when already in the middle of the road.. but when your focus is on "that car is running up the back of this one and i need to get out of the way" i think it forgivable to make a mistake like that.

His disappearing isn't weird, it's normal. Look at how fast that car is going, think about what the upper portion of your body will do when that mass hits just the lower half of your body, the guy could have died when his head impacted on the windshield due to how quick a transfer of forces took place (but i doubt he died).
(Edit: just read the description where it says he's alive. Lucky guy)

The flipping of the body seems fine, it continues consistently until another force joined the party.. the stopping force of the ground.

The landing, he crumples in on himself at a consistent speed before being flicked back when the combined force of the cars momentum, gravity and the spin all reached a stopping point where his body couldn't crumple any further.. and that compressed force acted like a spring.. that next head smash on the ground looked quite damaging and the arms did what they should have, they went with the existing direction of motion, bending only when the force pushed the elbow joint to the limit, until the forces lessened then biology/psychology survival instinct took over and he went fetal (which suggests he was not only still alive, but also conscious)

... imo

fake.

He stepped back to the empty position between lanes, but the car behind the SUV that hit his friend stopped braking and hit him in between the lanes while merging left.

This is why we need Google cars that talk to each other.

Doesn't look fake. That's what can happen when a light object gets hit that fast.
