That happened to me! My gear shifter linkage broke while driving, and my shifter went floppy just like the video. Except... my car didn't accelerate uncontrollably. The throttle, brakes, and clutch are separate systems, no reason for them to break at the same time. My car drove perfectly normally in every way except it was stuck in 2nd gear. And if it had gotten stuck in 3rd or 4th gear I probably would have driven it to the shop in that gear, but I couldn't drive at highway speed in 2nd gear, so I put my hazard lights on and drove to the next set of shops (a bit under the speed limit), found a part of the parking lot without anyone (for easy tow truck access), parked it, and called for a tow. At no point did I need to ram into a truck!
Yeah. We have 2 way radios at work and people dont fully understand them. When mic and speaker right next to each other they squeal so whats the answer. Yell louder. Then some whisper into radio or hold it 20ft away to talk and then some yell into them. Real nice
The last bit reminds me of one of those stupid old copypastas. "Oh, the boy hid from his girlfriend that his motorcycle's brake was broken and gave her his helmet so she'd live when they crashed!" There was another making fun of it where she figures out what's going on and yells at him to stop fucking accelerating and simply cut the engine. She then breaks up with him for being so suicidally stupid.

When one of our city’s stations looked into getting a new truck, they discovered they would have to build a new garage for it. The old garage is located over some sewer lines, and the floor was not deemed strong enough to hold the weight of the new and improved fire trucks. Since they had been pushing for a lot of improvements anyway (OLD building), they moved a few blocks away and built an entirely new station. It took a few years, but the fire department was very happy in the end.
Or, novel concept: Turn off the ignition! That's an older car, meaning it probably doesn't have any real system that prevents you from turning the car off at speed, plus it's a manual so it doesn't require that you be in park to turn it off. Also, it's a manual, so you just hit the clutch, which DISCONNECTS THE ENGINE FROM THE TRANSMISSION, AND THUS THE DRIVETRAIN, then hit the brakes while holding down the clutch. Now, once you've come to a stop, turn off the ignition, and you've safely come to a stop WITHOUT EVEN LOSING POWER STEERING! Genius, right?
No car will have a system preventing you from turning it off at speed. By law the brakes are required to be capable of stopping the vehicle regardless of what the engine is doing (that includes the emergency or parking brake.) Also the engine must be capable of being shut down when in motion.
@@mrs2691 I've definitely stalled an automatic by slamming it into park while applying the brakes but not being at a full stop yet. LOL My mother about had a heart attack, but we came to a halt real fast.

the amount of things that would need to happen to make this situation even remotely realist is mind boggling. Stuck accelerator, broken clutch linkage (not shift), then for what ever reason the key is stuck in the on position. So the bigger question is this, is why was he driving a death trap?
Whatever your profession, if there's a show that features it, the reaction will be very similar… Hollywood just puts drama way above accuracy (even in cases like Apollo 13 (the movie) where the story has TONS of drama built-in, they still try to fuck around with stuff…)
@@scott8908 damn man, I got my EMT-B a couple years back. Paid firemen in my state are required to have it, not just Emergency Responder level medical training. Would have hated to do it with a kid, that's rough. Hang in there.
"Is there anything on this truck we could use to lift said truck"..... Yes, it's a ladder truck. It's literally filled to the brim with basically a hardware stores worth of tools, specifically for jobs exactly like, and similar to that. Honest to God, it would be way quicker to just list the stuff on the truck that's NOT useful in this situation, cause it's gonna be a pretty short list... What the actual F? Who writes this show? How is this level of ineptitude even possible? This show is the perfect example of just how little Hollywood types care about working class people, and what they actually do at their working class jobs. It's almost disgusting.
actually, no, high pressure airbags are pretty much the only thing on the truck that can lift that truck. the bad news is there's a 50% chance they're in the compartments on the bottom.
Reminds me of an episode of Lois and Clark where Jimmy Olsen was in a car with no brakes and a stuck accelerator. Superman flies in, sits in the seat next to him while Olsen is panicking and then just reaches over and switches off the ignition.👍😻 I know they wrote this👆 because it would be riveting, dramatic and sensational, but obviously doing something less exciting but sensible is plenty memorable if I can bring that easily to mind 30 years on!

When I recently got a Mustang with a stick, I looked for some RUclips videos to use as primers for my kids so they could learn to drive it too. One of the comments was something to the effect of "manual transmission, an American anti-theft device." It would be funny if it weren't so true.
@@johns7734 I've heard, that in the USA u don't get teached how to drive a manual car for the drivers license, is that right?

@@eintyp9201 In the US, at least in my state, you are tested in whatever car you bring to the test, as long as it has a center hand brake and the examiner can reach the shifter. Very few people bring a manual to the test since that makes it easier to fail. I actively enjoy driving a manual, except in stop and go traffic. However, there are so few of them on the road in the US anymore, you don't really need to know how. My opinion is that the cars keep getting smarter and smarter and the drivers keep getting dumber and dumber! That's not a good trend.
I don't even know what a "loose clutch" is... I've heard of a worn clutch, a blown clutch, a bad master cylinder, burnt clutch, broken shift cable, blown transmission, but a "loose clutch?" Wtf is that and why would it prevent you from using the brakes, taking your foot off the gas, turning the car off, etc lmao
@@katierasburn9571 If anything, a literal loose clutch should cause the car to slow down since the engine won't be connected to the transmission or wheels and can't transfer power.
Apparently even with his leg off the pedal the car kept accelerating Break we’re working I think but somehow the engine was overpowering it and the o lay the breaks did was slow it down to around 60mph or so, so how the kid was saved was by using the breaks to slow down the car to around 60-70mph then hit the emergency break a few seconds before hitting the truck to slow it down further, hit the back of the moving truck and then slowly slow down the truck, the car was still going and burning rubber once it hit the back of the truck so they had to completely disconnect power This is from what I remember of that scene so I could be horribly wrong and eitherway it’s still completely bullshit overall, but yknow, clarifying some details

I stumbled upon your channel recently and it's a perfect mix of comedy and professional tips/information. I'm an assistant medic and want to become an emergency medic soon. Respect to you and your colleagues
Love these. Wife gets mad at me when we watch this show, but come on. If the producers would put more than 2 seconds of effort into some of these scenes they would be much more realistic.
I love these. The part about a denied claim because of the seatbelt is a absolutely correct. This is the reason I always put my seatbelt on. Even with my tank on.
1:30 there is a real situation that can be similar, in diesel cars. It is called "runaway diesel", in short, the engine (usually "helped" by the turbo) has so much pressue that when the exhaust goes out, fuel is automatically taken in (even with the accelaration pedal off), and it goes in a loop to higher and higher revs (sometimes it will even suck in the oil from the turbo lines and use that as fuel). If you are unlucky enough so that you can't put it in neutral (like a broken clutch, or heck, a broken stick shift) the car will continue to go and accelerate no matter what, up until the engine explodes. The engine will not stop even if you take the contact off, because at high revs, the battery is no longer needed, since the compression alone will ignite the fuel. This happened to my bmw e46 (due to a broken oil line to the turbo), but clutch and brakes were fine and I did managed to stop the car (after going from 20 miles/h to 100 miles/h in a few seconds). The engine was still going, but I've used my fire extinguisher to starve it of oxigen, and it died off (CO2 fire extinguishers are mandatory in cars in some parts of Europe). Now, the fact that the car in the show was not a diesel, yeah, that doesn't make any sense tbh, since petrol car's fuel is not regulated by the rpm. Also for that to happen, you would need to not only get a runaway diesel, but also to have a bad clutch. Brakes won't help if you can't put it in neutral, since they will get too hot after a few seconds at that sort of power, and will be useless.
How the heck does that even come loose in a collision? Are they gonna tell us the handbrake lever snapped in half under its own mass in a collision next?
Near the end with the car malfunction..... i seen an episode of rescue 911 where they tried shutting the car off and the ignition wouldn't budge. Don't ask how or why but watching that part in this video reminded me of that segment
It's called the clutch pedal lmfao. It disconnects the engine from the drivetrain, allowing it to continue redlining and still be able to maintain power steering and power brakes! (Yes, I know a Corvette from that era may not have necessarily had either of those, but they were at least available as an option since before 1970)
Hey! Don't go dissing Johnny and Roy! Seriously, Jack Webb actually cared about getting the facts more or less right. (Just the facts, maam.) That's way more than I can say about many of these shows.
I love these videos. They’re so funny 😂 I have no medical knowledge so I feel like I’m learning...... something....... mainly about how stupid these shows are
The amount of horse pucky they write into those shows is just atrocious! My favorite is watching shows like "Transplant" and trying to guess what mysterious ailment they are describing.

@@leadpilled5567 my radio training has mostly been for volunteer sectors. I’m a volunteer Community First Responder for the Scottish Ambulance Service and we don’t use codes like 10-4. We just say what needs to be said then out or over if I’m waiting for more communication. We do have codes that appear on the radio for what type of call we are going to, but control also informs us over the radio. Hopefully I’ll be out on placements with the ambulance crews next month as part of my rotations between hospitals and ambulance crews for the paramedic course and see if their radio protocols are the same or vastly different.

Yes!
That happened to me! My gear shifter linkage broke while driving, and my shifter went floppy just like the video. Except... my car didn't accelerate uncontrollably. The throttle, brakes, and clutch are separate systems, no reason for them to break at the same time. My car drove perfectly normally in every way except it was stuck in 2nd gear. And if it had gotten stuck in 3rd or 4th gear I probably would have driven it to the shop in that gear, but I couldn't drive at highway speed in 2nd gear, so I put my hazard lights on and drove to the next set of shops (a bit under the speed limit), found a part of the parking lot without anyone (for easy tow truck access), parked it, and called for a tow. At no point did I need to ram into a truck!

The last bit reminds me of one of those stupid old copypastas. "Oh, the boy hid from his girlfriend that his motorcycle's brake was broken and gave her his helmet so she'd live when they crashed!" There was another making fun of it where she figures out what's going on and yells at him to stop fucking accelerating and simply cut the engine. She then breaks up with him for being so suicidally stupid.

When one of our city’s stations looked into getting a new truck, they discovered they would have to build a new garage for it. The old garage is located over some sewer lines, and the floor was not deemed strong enough to hold the weight of the new and improved fire trucks. Since they had been pushing for a lot of improvements anyway (OLD building), they moved a few blocks away and built an entirely new station. It took a few years, but the fire department was very happy in the end.

LMAOOO
Right? Soon as you hit the brake it should stall out and the engine will shut off...
Or, novel concept: Turn off the ignition! That's an older car, meaning it probably doesn't have any real system that prevents you from turning the car off at speed, plus it's a manual so it doesn't require that you be in park to turn it off. Also, it's a manual, so you just hit the clutch, which DISCONNECTS THE ENGINE FROM THE TRANSMISSION, AND THUS THE DRIVETRAIN, then hit the brakes while holding down the clutch. Now, once you've come to a stop, turn off the ignition, and you've safely come to a stop WITHOUT EVEN LOSING POWER STEERING! Genius, right?
No car will have a system preventing you from turning it off at speed.
By law the brakes are required to be capable of stopping the vehicle regardless of what the engine is doing (that includes the emergency or parking brake.)
Also the engine must be capable of being shut down when in motion.
@@mrs2691 I've definitely stalled an automatic by slamming it into park while applying the brakes but not being at a full stop yet. LOL My mother about had a heart attack, but we came to a halt real fast.

1:38 that line was so heart felt that i feel like it happened somewhere on the job
I enjoy that show, and the silly little “wtf?” Moments. You calling them out and doing the green screen just made my day. I haven’t laughed that hard in a while.
the amount of things that would need to happen to make this situation even remotely realist is mind boggling. Stuck accelerator, broken clutch linkage (not shift), then for what ever reason the key is stuck in the on position. So the bigger question is this, is why was he driving a death trap?
This series your doing is actually teaching me a lot about how fire and first aid actually work
“HR sends their lo〜ve.” Lmao
Please don’t ever stop making these! They’re brilliant! 😆 Plus, I have a feeling there’s a plethora of source material out there to critique.
The whole series, I think!
Whatever your profession, if there's a show that features it, the reaction will be very similar… Hollywood just puts drama way above accuracy (even in cases like Apollo 13 (the movie) where the story has TONS of drama built-in, they still try to fuck around with stuff…)

I love this so much! My husband used to be a first responder and we used to point out on the inaccuracies in these shows.
"Is there anything on this truck we could use to lift said truck"..... Yes, it's a ladder truck. It's literally filled to the brim with basically a hardware stores worth of tools, specifically for jobs exactly like, and similar to that. Honest to God, it would be way quicker to just list the stuff on the truck that's NOT useful in this situation, cause it's gonna be a pretty short list... What the actual F? Who writes this show? How is this level of ineptitude even possible? This show is the perfect example of just how little Hollywood types care about working class people, and what they actually do at their working class jobs. It's almost disgusting.
actually, no, high pressure airbags are pretty much the only thing on the truck that can lift that truck. the bad news is there's a 50% chance they're in the compartments on the bottom.

Reminds me of an episode of Lois and Clark where Jimmy Olsen was in a car with no brakes and a stuck accelerator. Superman flies in, sits in the seat next to him while Olsen is panicking and then just reaches over and switches off the ignition.👍😻
I know they wrote this👆 because it would be riveting, dramatic and sensational, but obviously doing something less exciting but sensible is plenty memorable if I can bring that easily to mind 30 years on!

1:50 that's why nearly every person on the planet think, that Americans can't drive manual cars😂
When I recently got a Mustang with a stick, I looked for some RUclips videos to use as primers for my kids so they could learn to drive it too. One of the comments was something to the effect of "manual transmission, an American anti-theft device." It would be funny if it weren't so true.
and here I thought it was because most americans can't drive manual cars.
@@johns7734 I've heard, that in the USA u don't get teached how to drive a manual car for the drivers license, is that right? I'm German and in Germany the driving teachers don't have to teach how to drive manual since one or two years and I don't know how good that really is, what's your opinion about this?
@@eintyp9201 In the US, at least in my state, you are tested in whatever car you bring to the test, as long as it has a center hand brake and the examiner can reach the shifter. Very few people bring a manual to the test since that makes it easier to fail.
I actively enjoy driving a manual, except in stop and go traffic. However, there are so few of them on the road in the US anymore, you don't really need to know how.
My opinion is that the cars keep getting smarter and smarter and the drivers keep getting dumber and dumber! That's not a good trend.
@@eintyp9201 actually if you get a license in Germany in an Automatic it's marked on the license and you aren't allowed to drive manual
Loose clutch? That means breaks work fine😂 and why he didnt just take his leg off of the gas😂
How did he even get up to 100mph with a loose clutch??? 😂
I don't even know what a "loose clutch" is... I've heard of a worn clutch, a blown clutch, a bad master cylinder, burnt clutch, broken shift cable, blown transmission, but a "loose clutch?" Wtf is that and why would it prevent you from using the brakes, taking your foot off the gas, turning the car off, etc lmao
@@katierasburn9571 If anything, a literal loose clutch should cause the car to slow down since the engine won't be connected to the transmission or wheels and can't transfer power.
Yeah, it sounds to me like just about the dumbest shit I've ever heard. I went straight to find this comment, and I'm glad I did.
Apparently even with his leg off the pedal the car kept accelerating
Break we’re working I think but somehow the engine was overpowering it and the o lay the breaks did was slow it down to around 60mph or so, so how the kid was saved was by using the breaks to slow down the car to around 60-70mph then hit the emergency break a few seconds before hitting the truck to slow it down further, hit the back of the moving truck and then slowly slow down the truck, the car was still going and burning rubber once it hit the back of the truck so they had to completely disconnect power
This is from what I remember of that scene so I could be horribly wrong and eitherway it’s still completely bullshit overall, but yknow, clarifying some details
As a new firefighter, you videos have been a needed uplift when I worry about not passing the apprenticeship final test. Thank you!!

Haha just discovered your channel. I see how my Saturday is going to go. Laughing at you all day and sending these to my friends.
1:30 there is a real situation that can be similar, in diesel cars. It is called "runaway diesel", in short, the engine (usually "helped" by the turbo) has so much pressue that when the exhaust goes out, fuel is automatically taken in (even with the accelaration pedal off), and it goes in a loop to higher and higher revs (sometimes it will even suck in the oil from the turbo lines and use that as fuel).
If you are unlucky enough so that you can't put it in neutral (like a broken clutch, or heck, a broken stick shift) the car will continue to go and accelerate no matter what, up until the engine explodes. The engine will not stop even if you take the contact off, because at high revs, the battery is no longer needed, since the compression alone will ignite the fuel.
This happened to my bmw e46 (due to a broken oil line to the turbo), but clutch and brakes were fine and I did managed to stop the car (after going from 20 miles/h to 100 miles/h in a few seconds). The engine was still going, but I've used my fire extinguisher to starve it of oxigen, and it died off (CO2 fire extinguishers are mandatory in cars in some parts of Europe).
Now, the fact that the car in the show was not a diesel, yeah, that doesn't make any sense tbh, since petrol car's fuel is not regulated by the rpm. Also for that to happen, you would need to not only get a runaway diesel, but also to have a bad clutch. Brakes won't help if you can't put it in neutral, since they will get too hot after a few seconds at that sort of power, and will be useless.
Hahaha! These ALWAYS make me laugh so much! Keep doing them! HR sending their love had me almost crying because it's the damn truth!
"That's a gear shifter, not a clutch" YIKES LMAO
How the heck does that even come loose in a collision? Are they gonna tell us the handbrake lever snapped in half under its own mass in a collision next?

stumbled accross these yesterday, watched a couple now, been cracking me up, awesome work
Near the end with the car malfunction..... i seen an episode of rescue 911 where they tried shutting the car off and the ignition wouldn't budge. Don't ask how or why but watching that part in this video reminded me of that segment
It's called the clutch pedal lmfao. It disconnects the engine from the drivetrain, allowing it to continue redlining and still be able to maintain power steering and power brakes! (Yes, I know a Corvette from that era may not have necessarily had either of those, but they were at least available as an option since before 1970)
These are great. Classic shows would be hilarious, like CHiPs, every time they dove into a pool, or Emergency
