This is the second installment in our series "It's spring and the canopener is hungry" ... Last week an expensive-looking camper trailer had its air-conditioning units "chewed" off by the Gregson St canopener. That was crash #162 since 2008.
On the bright side it'll fit no problem on the way back.
😂
Touche!, well said .....
every cloud has a silver lining
It’s a one way street tho...
@@chasecissell9627 Well then next time he goes that way.
the way that last ac unit just comically falls off and splinters into a million pieces with a satisfying hefty flat thud sound always gives me a chuckle.
Then depression sets in ...
Ya 😂
It was a nice punctuation at the end. It got me too,
Mr. fireheart gets it
@Mi p yea we replayed it lots
Someone should place a camera on the other side of the bridge to get people's reaction after going through the "metal eating bridge". It'll be priceless.
I recall they had tried at one point, but they were asked to remove the camera there by officials.
This comment is on every one of this guy's videos at least twice.
Like the rollercoaster pictures at theme parks!
Likely an issue of privacy, they'd have to ask to show the face of anyone appearing on the camera.
Streets are public places and there is no expectation of privacy.
In stead of a 90 degree turn, they'll have to deal with 90 degree heat.
The rain will cool them off.
10 degrees below boiling?

Well said.
@@ginandcreme I know, I'm just mocking an outdated and useless measurement system based off mixing ice and salt.
"Why is it so hot in here?"
"I don't know, the ac was working yesterday."
Don't worry, it will cool down after the thunderstorm.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
johnson controls does AC work
all the heat should be escaping from the two gaping holes in the roof now.
"Why is it so wet in here?"
"I don't know, the roof was working yesterday."
I like how the bridge eats the soft chewy center then spits out the shell.
Took the comment right out of my mouth!
LMAO !!!
Your comment wins !
Lol
Lmao
It's funny how drivers always brake as if going slower would make the bridge taller
no, that would be a crazy notion. going slower makes your vehicle shorter, however
Some also try to go faster.
Lorenz Transforms don't work very well at driving speeds.
you've got to sneak up on the bridge, that's the trick.
*brake
I love how people just keep driving. They are so embarrassed they would rather continue destroying their vehicles further than back up and make eye contact with the people that saw them fuck up.
Vanced is the best👌
Comment of the day!!!
Almost looked intentional
He wouldn't
If you don't admit it it never happened! 😁
I see that this is one of the "if-I-slow-down-it'll-work" ones, lol
Yes, but then physics don't work like that.
It is surprising how often they do that and then just drives on like nothing ever happened.
@@guywiththebottle think it's more like "well it's fucked now... might as well keep going"
@@kingjames4886 exactly
@@guywiththebottle they're not paying attention their first reaction is "what's that?" So they slow down. Then realize what happened and they carry on afterwards.
Two in a week! This is like old times!
True, but as I pointed out in the other vid, the sensor is NOT picking up those above height or even close to it, they need to check the sensor is working or move it down about an inch below.
@@Ryanthusar Remember when that Engineer smugly said that sensor would end the can opener? Good times
It’s that time of year. Spring is in air and AC units are leaving the nest. Air dams will be blossoming soon. Yay!
It's getting more rare now that truckers have their own GPS map app.
Hibernation is over...
I like how the bridge unceremoniously dumps the carcasses onto the road after eating them.
Loooollll
Hahaha
Charlie Brown's kite eating tree has nothing on this bridge. I used to drive a tractor trailer and they drilled the 13' 6'' into our skulls.
carcass, singular, I think the first one got pushed through the roof of the camper.
No one pays attention to the damn barrier - paint giant teeth on it instead of yellow
What I love about these videos is they always just drive away and pretend it never happened.
Actually this guy did stop after he cleared the bridge. The one I watched before just went on his way with no truck roof!
I love how the Johnson Controls guy simply says "Huh... bridge got another one..." and drives around to get to his next job...
Probably going to fix a real air conditioner.
Well, you know... Someone's johnson was out of control.
@@jcd780 More like they're going to sell someone one of their junk York units. Hate their UICs.
That was fairly ironic. :)
@@sivalley haha yeah York is trash
The satisfying plop of it landing on the pavement
YES!! Very pleasing!
The initial impact is also pretty nice.
Yeah, the plop at the end was epic. Almost seemed like slow motion!
I wanted it to sound like a can opener!!!! I think they should have loud speakers 🔊 playing the can opener sound each and every time the bridge pounces!!!
Yeah!!! That’s it!
Ok, Flame 🔥 away!!!
That was a plop for sure. Just fucking lovely.
Seems like tall vehicles have come out of a winter slumber and the bridge was ready to pounce
More like a year of stay-home/lock-down, now every idiot with a camper wants to get out and about! :)
*Tall vehicles with dumb drivers
Bluegrass festival season is upon us, and things are starting to open up. People are taking their RV's to bluegrass festivals. I guess they'll have to do without air conditioning at this one. I hope it's not too warm outside.
Like a hungry cat
A/C hunting season.
I admit that I nearly did this once. It was my first time driving an RV, and we were driving across the country. At one point we were stopping for the night in Wisconsin Dells, and were headed to our campground. I hadn't anticipated the road dipping to go under a railroad crossing, but I also didn't think much of it as I cruised right on through. Only afterward did it dawn on me that that could have been a major mistake. The clearance for the bridge was 12'2'', and fortunately the RV was exactly 12 feet high. So, I got lucky that time.
Watched a guy crush his RV and his pickup truck after colliding with a overhang roof at a fuel station. Took out the whole Gas station in one terrible crash.
I backed into a overhang with my Motorhome at my buddies place once. Cost me nearly $1000 to fix his garage. I heard the crunch, stopped and without looking up I was confused and got in and backed up a little more only to hear more crunch. I honestly never thought to look up.
@@pixels303at-odysee9 Pulled through a stucco walled drive through just off the freeway south of Seattle. I had added an extra leaf spring as my cube van had a hardwood floor and heavy fibreglass laid up walls. Too high. As I left the walls started coming in closer and closer. I gunned it! and headed south to Tacoma with my Canadian license plates! If they were looking, they're be looking north!
@@DwightStJohn-w1l any damage? I lucked out with my motorhome because it was built like a tank. Barely a scratch. It was tougher than the garage.
Ended up selling it three years ago after upgrading to a 27' fifth wheel trailer.
My buddy where I used to work took out the Tim Hortons sign at the drive through with a work truck. He was not as lucky because he tried to hide the damage to the truck (Never reported it). Boss spent man hours to investigate and I guess Timmies had a camera which clearly shown him driving. Lost his job. I learned that he also totaled two of his own vehicles as well and his insurance was pulled. He decided to move back to India so he could start again in a different country. You rarely hear about how the story ends. He was a fine person, despite his lack of spacial awareness. I should look him up sometime to see how he is doing.
The worst part is that the first air conditioner didn't get sheared off. It was shoved through the roof into the interior. Only the second one wound up on the street. That's a massive amount of damage.
If they can afford an RV, they can probably afford to fix it too. I have no sympathy for them either way though.
@@bengonzales1182 look on the bright side they just installed a open air sky roof. Some pun intended 🤣
Some flex tape will nicely seal up the holes.
@@bengonzales1182 That's one way to think of someones life savings getting ripped apart... Hope they have good insurance.
@@bengonzales1182 that's the stupidest logic ever. your statement annoyed me and i just wanted to share that with you. hard working people make up a small percentage of those with wealth and means too you know?
The audio is pretty impressive for a traffic cam. It’s like they have a boom mic hanging over the bridge.
Isn't it a private cam and mic recording this?
BOOM MIKE 😆
Imagine how much noise you can make just banging pots and pans together. Now do that at 35 mph
@@Taolan8472 It still appears to be an outdoor mic (usually protected which muffles them a bit) and it’s -well- over 50 ft away. Still impressively clear. Your pots and pans bit is nonsense here.
@@Chimera_Photography The pots and pans is a relatable example of metal to metal impacts, something the average person is likely to be familiar with. It's meant as a functional metaphor not a perfect explanation. Dropping a pot inside the cabinet can make an impressive noise, and that's only falling at a few feet per second given the confined space (which also amplifies the noise, but hey). Boost that to a few tons of metal banging together at a much higher speed, that sound is going to carry quite a distance.
The van behind them is an air conditioner company called Johnson HVAC Controls, lol, how ironic!
As he passed the RV driver he handed him a business card. Lol 😂
He probably stopped besides him, when the driver pulls off the road and tells him: "I can fix that .. but it'll cost you !!".
@@Marlow925 hehe, that's what they always say. But this time, it is true!
Supply and demand strikes again! 😂
I didn't notice that until you pointed it out. Oh god, that's even better. He follows the RV like "So hey, I see you're gonna need a new AC unit...."
Looks like his measurement from the ground to the top of the camper was spot on
Yeah he probably had that measurement in mind but forgot about the AC unita
Makes me wonder if those A/C units were factory installed.
"Hey dad...do you think that bridge is too low?" Twenty years from now: "Hey dad...remember that time you ripped BOTH air conditioners off your new camper going under that bridge?" Fifty years from now: "I remember when my dad was going under this bridge pulling his new camper..." One hundred years from now: "Dad used to tell me this story about grandpa pulling his new camper under a low bridge..."
LMFAO
The hell's the matter with you SMH
😂🤣 I feel this so much...I think mostly because I was that kid 😁
@Brett Delong. LMFAO, thats gonna be a great story to pass from Father & son and generation to generation
You forgot theres a video in the history archives of it all
"Dad, it's a little warm in here. Can we turn on the AC?"
"Sure thing kiddo, go ahead."
...
What's with this resurgence of the 1970's 'kiddo' moniker? Please, tell me!
Or his response was “Sorry kiddo, dad was extremely irresponsible and now I can’t afford to fix all the damage I caused” 😂
Undertale is why i think
This bridge needs something like tennis ball boys to run out and pick up the mess every time.
ACs like this are pretty good scrap too! I'll take that job lol
LoL! Like at the bowling alley, bar drops down to clean up the pins ;-)..
The stop light needs a tennis ball hanging down so they’ll hit that before they hit the bridge and know they won’t make it lol
@@NesconProductions LMAO 🤣
You got me laughing with this one 😁
He turned the AC unit's into dual sunroofs in less than 2 seconds. Bravo!
😂😂
I just love that there is this group of people that comes together every couple of weeks (now months) to watch our friend. Feels like a little family reunion.
Underrated comment.
Yep. I feel that one. True
Agreed. This and Gtoger's "Parking Lot of Sadness."
Until next time family...
I KNOW, right?! :)
Bridge: So, what'll be?
Camper: Just a little off the top.
Bridge: You got it!

This is my favorite comment for this video! 👍👍😂
Box truck: "SHAVE IT ALL OFF!!"
rv circumsision
Ahahaha omg comment of the day.
It even fooled the "Overheight Must Turn" sign by sneakily only having its A/C units above the max height, lol.
Huh, that's lame! I thought it could detect the A/c because in the military truck video, they had a part of the truck jutting out and the sign could tell that.
I wonder if the sign should always be on and it should just say "Tall vehicles - drive carefully - accidents common," just in case the Overheight Must Turn doesn't come on.
The sign wasn’t working for a while.
Remove all the signs, light's, warning labels let nature take it's course. Stoopid is fixed.
@@j.walker3498 Speaking of "stoopid" -- why did you put an apostrophe-s after "light," but not after "sign" or "label"? With exceptions so rare that tney can be all but ignored, an apostrophe-s NEVER makes a word plural, it makes a singular possessive. Example: There were *three lights* on the house, but *one light's* fixture was broken. (Also, it's "take its course," not "take it's course." "It's" is a contraction of "it is," and "take it is course" makes no sense. Just remember that it's his, her, and its, not hi's, he'r, and it's.)
the funniest part to me is how everytime this shit happens someone is behind them or something and they just go around the wreckage like it happens all the time (it does)
OK that's the second bridge snack that didn't warn the driver... The bridge got so hungry it bribed the warning sign.
Driver to passenger: "Hey, we're in that town with the famous can opener bridge that I've seen on RUclips...wonder if we're close to that hilarious bridge?" MUNCH!😅
The vehicle itself was not enough to trigger the warning and the A/C units wouldn't trigger it is my guess since they are so small
Seems to me that the sensors should be designed to detect and warn vehicles where only small(ish) parts of it are too tall. Lots of vehicles are like that.
@@kc9scott The problem then arises of false triggers, a leaf blowing by, a bird flying past... See the issue?
@@kc9scott People really just need to know the height of their rig. You can't protect about 80% of the people from their own ignorance and carelessness, but some are just too damn determined. It's a law of diminishing returns.
This bridge is the gift that keeps on giving.
lmfao
😂😂 I'm surprised there isn't any more poorly designed bridges out there
@@playerhateroftheyear1084 it’s not even poor design, it’s just absolute nobs who don’t realize low bridges are not meant for shit that’s over 11” feet high.
So is it that the bridge is 11’8” but I listed as 12’4”?
@@agentmiller4188 no it used to be 11'8" but the road got lowered so its now 12'4"
''They only asked me deliver the van....not the A/C''. Quality service.
There is a sign on the side of the truck, and I think they actually are an RV delivery service lol
😂😂🤣🤣🤔🤔🙃🥵🥵🥶🥶🥵🥵😅😏😏😅😅😂😂
Makes sense tho
Motto:
We deliver the van,not the AC.
Eeh, who needs AC?
😂🤣😂 These videos never get old. I don’t know what’s more disturbing about this one the fact that the driver even tried to get his caravan under that bridge or the simple fact that said caravan is the size of a house.
@@jkeelsnc yeah we get massive caravans like you see here in Australia personally I don’t see the point of towing something that big around the countryside and calling it a holiday and you’re absolutely right fuel consumption would be monstrous. Would sooner save my money on the tow vehicle and caravan and go somewhere nice.
@jkeelsnc your comment has noticed to do with the bridge height
If they ever make another national lampoon's Christmas vacation movie with Chevy Chase they better use this bridge. This bridge is part of history now.
Is that the bridge in Renton Washington?
@@paedahe4975 The formerly-11'8" bridge featured in this series? Durham, North Carolina.
Edit: Unless you replied to someone who then deleted their comment.
I love how he just goes through it real slow. Slower is lower, as they say in physics class.
I breathe in, when driving through tight spaces.
Just shows you just because you have money doesn’t mean you have commonsense or understand really how the world works.
He's probably really thinking if he goes slow that it won't completely destroy the rv
Just the tip
The new bridge seems to be a "seasonal" kind of thing. Sometimes we go months with nothing, and sometimes we get two in a week.
It gets nostalgic for its past and goes "Y'know what? I wanna do some crunching right now."
When it rains, it pours I guess!
I remember they used to increase during the end of year holidays (I think people got a little upset about buying things, visiting parents, etc).
I wonder what’s the reason now.
The crunch sound is so satisfying
Such a satisfying thud when it hits the ground.
Almost like a Roadrunner cartoon.
LOL Yes. I wonder how crushed in the roof is due to the first one basically turning in to a pan cake?
I'm wondering if the first unit fell into the hole created by the second one being ripped off. lol! :D

RV Owner: pulls into the RV dealer.
Repair man: You’re on RUclips aren’t you...😆

@@starchipmunk92 i feel like thats more like 10,000$ worth of ac lol
That'll buff riiiiight out!
Fifth wheel bunk beds are not cheap.
Wonder if the driver was too embarrassed to stop and own up to the accident.
Bisqwit, does Finland have any can opener bridges?
After watching this, I went out and measured to the top of my RV AC (11' 10"). I once put my son on the roof of the RV with instructions to yell "stop" if necessary.
I like the way he slowed down, heard the first AC unit get smashed, then kept driving, then heard the other AC unit get smashed, then kept going without even stopping to pick up the remains of his camper.
Yeah, what a scumbag. Should be fined also for littering
to be fair we only see like 4 seconds after they hit the bridge, it's possible they pulled over somewhere more sensible than directly under the bridge so that they could come back and pick it up
Of course he stopped. Gee wiz
Some of you lol
@@ivanatinkle19 I see, it makes sense
Right? Could have stopped and backed up after the first and avoided half the damage. 🤔
They should add a very large sign saying "Low Bridge! You ARE BEING RECORDED RIGHT NOW and WILL be POSTED TO RUclips WHEN YOU HIT IT."
or just "Smile for the RUclips viewers"
Both work for us, lol.
instead of the sign they should have a big monitor playing this channel's content
Yeah, but put that sign on the other side, so they don't see it till they're under the bridge. Listening to the sounds of tearing metal.
You'd think that by now trucks would have an outside camera for checking clearance or even a low bridge sensor or some such shit. That or just knowing what your clearance is.
Bridge: 'It's not hot enough for AC yet.' _( burp )_
This bridge is the roadway version of an African Bullfrog.
Wonder what this short trek cost?
Speak for yourself; t's 90 here in Florida!
@@aytviewer2421 (＠＾◡＾)
going to cost 2k$ maybe 4k in damages
The most painful part has to be that you know that every other driver IMMEDIATELY turns to stare directly at the driver.
Gotta love how the bridge acted like a squeegee and swept the trash off on to the street.
they could add a bar with brushes on the exit side , so your camper roof is all clean and neat after the shaving !
I died inside. What a lovely specimen

Weird, every time youtube suggests these stupid vids to me i wish for a scrap company to cut that stupid bridge down already.....
There’s a great RUclips video on when they raise the railway portion. I reckon they should also lower the road no matter how much infrastructure is in it
The old height would have peeled that camper open like a tin of sardines!

The meaning of life is our relationship with God. These four steps are the key to getting a Devine Revaluation directly from him. They are something you'd eventually do if you took God seriously enough to read the Bible, while implementing its teachings. They are, forgive your parents, break down before Jesus, ask for forgiveness, and read three books of the Bible. Step four requires the first book of each testament, and one you chose yourself. The order is actually important. The steps build on each other. Each one primes your soul for the next. To be forgiven we must forgive. Mathew 6: 14-15. That's why forgiving others has to come before asking for forgiveness. Jesus will not forgive you until you've at least done the bare minimum, our parents. They're supposed to be easiest to forgive, because they've fed, housed, loved us to some degree. Our problems with them are supposed to represent our problems with God. This is why the bare minimum to receive the revelation is our parents. You'll still have to forgive everyone though, but that comes much easier after meeting God. I'm extremely serious and very literal. I'm not talking about signs, nor feelings, nor prayer. It's an actual literal pulled out of your body direct one on one conversation, nothing you can miss. nor misinterpretae. The vast majority of christans never bother to do what God wants seriously, so most never get this revelation. To most outside church their Bible is a paper weight, or at best a virtue signal. Their religion is in what other people think about them, not their relationship with God. Please do those steps I mentioned, there really is a Devine Revaluation waiting for all of us. There's extraordinarlly important information we all desperately need in this revelation, but those who get it are forbidden to share it. The Truth that Jesus Christ is Lord is written on every human heart. We all have that knowledge inside us, but we bury it under mountains of pain and anger. Those steps clear away that garbage inside you, letting God heal you, so that his words boom clearly inside your soul. The entire point of our existence here is to Trust God enough that we pay him this mustard seed of Faith, so his Grace can remove the stain sin has left on our souls. Everyone that does not get this Grace is not forgiven of any of their sins, even if they turned around and we're the best person from 25 to death. Without Grace those first sins are still counted against you, tying you to the devil's punishment. It's not about being a good person, It's about being forgiven for when you weren't. The Bible is Truth. Please do those steps and see for yourself. Please take your salvation seriously
The best part is how he just drives off. He’s not going to let having both of his ACs unceremoniously ripped off the top of his fifth wheel ruin the family camping trip.
Duct tape it close to enjoy the vacation and deal with it when they get back home.
That was a new unit being transported to a dealership. Likely a Camping World since that company delivers to them.
he will probably ony figure it out when he trys to turn on the ac or the heat lmao.
You can tell when it’s a driver that owns what’s attached to his bumper or if he’s just a hired transporter, lol!! The difference between the two drivers is about $10k in damage! 😱🤪😡😬
You're not on the patreon, which shows the driver doing the walk of shame and dragging the unit back to his camper. The coolant pipe breaks and sprays forlornly.

Is the overheight sign not working 😕🤔. Didn't see it lit up on this one either.
The bridge has ceased its indicator, for it was not being properly fed with it on.
I wondered the same. Maybe where ever the sensor is for it, it didnt pick up the height of the ACs.
It is dim from the camera, but its on.
When the light goes red, it says very dimly if you go in hd, it says Overheight and the bottom says must turn. I can see it clearly in this video, its dim though in HD.
@@dertythegrower
Those are just the non-lit LEDs you're seeing. When it is lit, it flashes and the light turns red long before this one did.
Oh nooo. What a shame! Hopefully it gets fixed soon!
Just kidding, i like what happens when it is not working :D And repair shops in the area sure do aswell :D

I come up with a nice quippy remark with oodles of thumbs ups, and I come to find it smeared with this worthless low-swinging misspelled political drack you felt desperately needed to be expressed. Shame on this mess. No points for you.
That's the fastest skylight install I've ever seen LOL 😂😂👍💡
Man you can still see the savaged metal guard after that last feast.
Wonder what it looks like underneath as the bridge jumped a bit on that one.
The best part of watching this channel is paying attention to the story that the crash bar tells. I love how ever since the bridge was raised we've been able to watch as that fresh, cheery yellow paint has been gradually ground off. Every scrape mark is its own story/battle scar, and the more paint gets scraped off the more everyone can tell how dumb the driving populace is.
They call them A/C units "tic tacs" LOL!! Love it. Whoever came up with that one, cheers to you, mate!
Top 10 for sure and to hear that 2nd unit land on the ground was precious.
OK gang.Try to follow along. The bridge was recently raised by 8 inches. (There are lots of videos, on this channel, before the change. Also videos of the construction.) If you look at this video at 0:06, for example, the signage is clearly 12' 4". Drivers are not relying on this YT channel to determine the clearance.
I've gotten stuck behind so many oversized camper vans that this is honestly cathartic 😂
Vicariously taking revenge through a 12'4" bridge?
That's a pretty radical psychological concept, I have to say. lol
"We better go slow in case the AC units hit. And if the first one hits, we will slow down even more."
No reverse gear, lol
Yeah, I don't get the logic. "This looks low, so I'm going slow, but fucked if I'm going to stop and consider this whole thing"
I'm new here. Can someone explain why the sign reads 12' 4" if it's 11' 8"?
I've watched a few other videos and the sign reads 11' 8". I had to return to this one to make sure I wasn't crazy.
For the record, I see they raised the bridge. Not enough, apparently. lol
It was 11'8. They have a video on i think this channel they explained the story about some big waterline below it that they cant move and they saved a ton of money my keeping train at certain angle, I haven't seen it in a few years, but I wanna say they shaved 8 inches off the bottom of the road. People decided to make trucks bigger which led to fun.
Best part is he doesn't even stop after he hears the first one break off 😅🤣😂
To be fair, he probably couldn’t. I think he realized his mistake about halfway through the intersection.
At that point, what can you do? Not like you can stop and crazy glue it back together. And backing up is reserved for the most stuck of trucks (like the legendary All My Sons incident).
Not only that, but the cherry on top was the fact that he made it all the way through the bridge and didn't even STOP... did he even realize his camper had been damaged? How long did it take him to realize??
No, the best part, is the van behind them is a very big AC repair company, called Johnson controls
@@FireBocchi I guess that makes more sense. Still, though... the foolishness of people getting caught under the bridge is kind of baffling. I get that the sign didn't flash this time for whatever reason, but with all of those OTHER warning signs, it's just so dumb.
Love that there is HVAC van watching the whole thing happen
😂🤣😂🤣😂
Just waiting to give the first estimate for repairs.
Johnson Control van driver: "Hey, just the parts I needed for my next job!"
That they will still charge their customer 500% of retail for the parts.
Honeywell parts are better.
11'8+8 foot bridge: trying to cheat me out? That's it! No more AC unit for you! Enjoy the hot summer.
I'll never understand people who don't know the height of these massive trailers they're pulling.
If the A/C was an add-on and the driver is still mind-locked on the height of the trailer warning signs don't matter. In this case study, the warning didn't go off... What's broken?
@@thomasboese3793 A trailer that size doesn’t have “add-on” a/c.
The warning sign shouldn’t matter. Drivers should know exactly how tall their vehicle is.
@@thecheeta the vans I drive for work are 8ft 11 tall. I still duck going under 10ft bridges 😂
@@thomasboese3793 nothing is broken, in regards to the bridge or advanced warning anyway. Both AC units are definitely broken.
The AC units are too small to trip the overheight sensor. Even if it had tripped the sensor, I’m gonna speculate that the driver would have ignored the sign anyway. My reasoning for that is because it’s a trailer that they ‘know the height of’
@@thomasboese3793 The driver for not knowing the height of their vehicle. I drive semis, some single decker 14'3" some double deckers 16'3 or 16'6". Those heights are based on the fifth wheel height of 1250mm. Personally I take the "height given on the trailer" and add a minimum of 3" (and ususally 6") on to that. If the bridge is lower than that, I don't go near it. If you don't know the characteristics (height, length, width, weight, movement capabilities etc) of your vehicle, you shouldn't be driving it.
The bridge is hungry, so drive like hell
Ignore the warnings, and feed it well!
Gotta love how they slow down to minimize damage yet still lose their ac entirely
Love how he didn’t stop🤦🏻He is like oh well nothing I can do now!!! Yeah you can..clean up your shit
The bridge peeled them off like those candy buttons on wax paper.
@dave Me too,
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Peeled,great word. My dad used it peel down, to pay for something.
thedogdogification ... not much holding those things on the roof. I just removed one last summer and there's maybe 4 screws clamping it down with plastic frames top and bottom that make a sandwich with the roof.
That's a blast from the past
My favorites are always the one's that realize, 'something must have happened', but keep going until they're out.
If I lived near this bridge, I would put a lawn chair out there and watch everyday just waiting for the fun.
You could bring a cooler with you and sell sodas for a buck or two. Make some money. Maybe the city could install bleachers!
I'll bet you could sit for even weeks or even months with no action though. It's spectacular when it happens and is caught on video but I bet it would be a lot of waiting to see one live.
@@ian3580 Possible shrapnel could be a problem, too.
I’ve never driven a camper, but I would think an activity for Day One of ownership would be to memorize the height.
I dunno Y, but the final moment with the AC falling down just made my day. It is so tragic, and yet hilarious. Its just like a final accord of a short black humor suite.
Yeah, the timing is like a punch line.
the AC falling off the roof has better comedic timing than I do
I like how it's a Johnson Controls van that is the next vehicle. He's probably used to working on bigger HVAC units, but he may have been able to help out.
@@foamer443 that was best part that cracked me up!!
I like how everyone decides to leave their shit in the road once it’s torn off
Ignoring guidelines and leaving trash behind tells us a lot about the people that nail it.
To embarrassed to go clean up I guess
I don’t think he knew it happened because he was towing it
@@jakeg3126 the fact he came to a crawl as soon as it caught just shows extreme lack of awareness or just driving away in shame of it happening.
Y'all, you don't know he just left it there - the video doesn't show what took place after! The guy would have had to find a place to park before he could get out and clear the wreckage out of the way. Sheesh!
Love this channel.
Thanks for the memories :)
