Omg poor bby. , she feels she's a burden to her mother. No child deserves tht or should ever be a burden to any parent.
Cynthia Castaneda I was just thinking that. I recently became depressed and have anxiety and have become dependent on my mother, and I also feel as a burden. I could never imagine making someone feel that way, esp them being my parent or anyone else really close to me.
Cynthia Castaneda why did you put so many unnecessary spaces
Chiqy I had to laugh at your comment, because I often wonder why people, like yourself, leave off punctuation, especially when texting or commenting online. LOL However, I've noticed that when I use my tablet, many times it leaves a space between the last word in a sentence and the period at the end of it. I'm assuming it's a glitch in my software, related to my keyboard. It's a hassle because I constantly have to back-space to remove it, but will sometimes miss it. 😉
puncuation in sentences isnt regarded as important online when youre jsut saying one sentence. its similar to using "lol" because "lol" was created to make texting faster when it took 1-2 seconds to type one letter.
Cynthia Castaneda TY Your response made me cry. I know I am a burden to my mum (and I try desperately hard not to be); she very much frets about when she won't be here. I feel a burden to my daughter, and she blames herself--she was the driver when we were in a terrible accident that left me with a TBI. I have attempted suicide more than once knowing I am a burden to everyone...
Whilst writing this something happened to prove it again. It sucks. I will be 44 this month; my daughter is 22.
I'm ALWAYS thinking about how I'm sitting in the car, and imagining how hurt I would be in each position haha! I'm TERRIFIED of crashing. Also a good note to yourself is "If I sit in this position like this video JUST this one time and I'm ACTUALLY crashing, would this ONE time be worth my legs, face and maybe life?, no." Always think about consequences!
+LilCera Me too! I also explain this to my children. Cell phone is always in a closed dash compartment. If there is a wreck, my cell phone will be accessible. Can't stand people texting and driving!
Amen!!! I'd rather have them crashing on their own, instead of killing innocent people around them!!
LilCera yeahh my mum always told us that we werent allowed to do that, even barefoot...u never know when u will crash
V.I.P! That was a really good paragraph...
LilCera Im the same way, but not ONLY in the car. It can be mentally draining but these days, I find it necessary. Whether it be figuring out how to escape a building, a room, etc. I seem to be thinking the same way.
well I won't be doing that anymore
+Danielle Johnson same...wow
Same lol
oh man.. I do this most of the time.. I guess no more for me too.. lol
There is a reason why the steering and dash says SRS Airbag. Don't be a dummy, Danielle.
who told her. who sent her. next time keep your feet to yourself. honestly this is only reported because she didn't have her legs on the floor. I honestly think this is stupid.
I don't put my feet up on the dashboard because I secretly fear that is going to active the bags XD
yUP
LMAO... that was cute! hehehe
POMERANIAN
Same lmao
Wow. I sit like that a lot. This never ever occurred to me. No more doing that!!!
Good decision 👍👍👍
Jen K how has this not ever came to thought of what might happen😂 thats kinda sad tbh
Moderator Sylveon I’ve actually thought about that before but I still did it anyways. I stopped bc my sisters biological sister pasted away from a car reck and I just get paranoid 😱
i never put my feet up i don't want my car to get dirty... with dirty shoes on the bottom i don't let nobody put their feet up in my car....
Vee Nessa I agree I don't like feet being up on my dash board
I used to do this but I'd always remove my shoes first. Now I don't do this anymore at all.
I rarely do it but with my shoes of obviously. Not anymore tho!
sweetcanada17
that is even worse
Zoe Young - note: I used the _past tense_ in that statement. My last sentence reads: "Now I *don't* do this anymore at all."
this is why my mom always told us to never put our feet on the dashboard. I'm glad she's done that
i wont be doing that anymore
What is wrong with the mom? She should be happy that her daughter is alive.
Mezmuree She is obviously glad her daughter is alive. She's upset with the behavioural changes the accident caused. Her daughter isn't the same person anymore..
It's a very difficult thing to cope with, trust me.
Mezmuree if youre kid had gotten so injured that you couldnt recognize them, would you say with a smile, "I was so worried that she would die, shes just in immense pain! Today is a great day isnt it?"
i literally do this all the time, never again
Nicole Mckee same
Nicole Mckee me too! Omg no more
Oh my God-my son does this when I am driving. No more. I hope this young lady sees these comments and knows that because of the unfortunate ordeal she is going through, by speaking out she is saving others from the same fate.
did he stop?
I would never think of putting my feet up there.. I also don't know anyone who does it but I am glad I don't that's scary
The van in front stopped too suddenly. That's what stopping distances are for.
Im sure excessive speed played a role in the accident as well
yup. that car was wrecked.
Wow, I have done this!
I hadn't ever thought of how dangerous this innocent habit could be.
TBIs, traumatic brain injuries, are one of the hardest maladies to manage the behavioral changes. Additionally, since it is an invisible handicap, people react more negatively, because they think the person is normal.
I pray for this beautiful young woman .
TY Docs for putting the word out.
My mom does that all the time & I always tell her to put them down & now I have a legitimate reason!
did she stop???
Oh man, that mom needs to be the one going to a therapist to get her head on straight.
I was thinking the same thing.
With the way that car was demolished...she would've had serious issues with or without her feet up...
would have probably been a lot better if the airbag hit her face rather than her knees though.......
Marlissa Cunningham dear... I think the air bag is a lot softer than her knees
What if I told you.....that car crashes will fuck you up whether you have your feet on the dashboard or not?
What if I told you, that an airbag is a lot softer than a fucking knee to the face, have you placed your feet on the dash and suffered brain damage?
Dudefromspace567 it might be softer but the amount of force that the air bag comes out with can be just as deadly. That's why there is also a certain way you should be holding your steering wheel and driving a certain way , will cause your hands to fly back and break your face.
Yes it's a lot better than no air bags , but air bags cause a lot damage too.
Mimi's Corner airbags will hurt you, kneecaps can break your spine or even worse kill you
Mimi the force would be greater with the knee because the airbag is pushing your foot and knee and there is a lot less surface area and it is harder and has less give than the airbag when you hit it, what you are saying is like "well crashing a bike can be just as deadly if you are wearing a helmet"
Not all of us put out feet up but I've also never been in the front of a car in my entire life
Alyssa Chalue1 Same here
me too, nobody ever lets me and i now understand
kids aren't allowed in the car until they're a certain age and height
Well good thing I'm 18 then
I'm 15 , 5'11 and NOBODY ever lets me sit in front
I've never thought of that and I never will now!
I always put my feet on the dash, never again!
Following distance!!! Keep a good following distance if you can , just Incase a car stops suddenly.
We were taught that it was disrespectful to sit like that. Your feet belong on the floor of the car and we were also told it was not safe but I'm glad that the young lady made it through.
I suffered a tbi and I wish I had support like her....I'm glad she's ok...it'll get better all.
My exs dad was a fire chief and he said it's literally one of the most dangerous things you can do
My mom would smack the sh*t out of me if I put my feet on the dashboard
jennifer lopez exactly!
Am I the only one who has honestly never put my feet on the Dash of a car?
Micha Cross No..I havent either
Poor Bethany! One big message for you: Its not a dead end, it may seem like it, but there is hope.
I've heard this somewhere before, and whenever I'm temped to put my feet on the dashboard, I'll remember this.
I would never ever do that because I'm always wearing my seatbelt. Stupid move.
I've been doing this for almost 30 years. I've been lucky thus far. Now, I have something to think about before ever doing it again though. Thanks!
thank god my dad is so protective of his car he won't ever let me do that
My friend always say , take down youre feet from the dash board, but it was so uncomftible but now I will listen ! Thanks for sharing and you will get better , like my friend did, with brain dammage! Now shes normal again 😉
I never thought about that. God Bless you 💛
My husband had a brain injury and his personality changed drastically!
I used to do this as a teenager, but as I got older and wiser I just realized that it just wasn't safe as I thought about it.
I'm to tall to put my feet up
RazzerRaw too*
Same here, my knees usually hit against the dashboard just sitting normally lol
A family friend and my uncle were driving up north. My uncle had his feet up on the dashboard on the passenger side. They hit a 500 lb black bear and my uncle had to go through physical therapy and multiple surgeries from his legs. Always be careful!
I usually ride in a passenger seat like that due to sciatica... my knees slamming into my face has crossed my mind a few times... Also, my sister had a really bad TBI when she was in HS... she was in a coma for over a week & once she miraculously recovered, her personality was completely different...
I've done that hundreds of times throughout my childhood I am so lucky nothing ever happened but I'm never doing that again
Just emailed this to loved ones.
i used to do that and my mum said "stop doing that. because what if the airbag went off?" never done it again
*There are those more worried about the vehicles than about themselves.* Those wanting tandem gearboxes, overpowered brakes that barely fit inside the wheels, suspensions capable of extreme movement, and all sort of other engineering tricks to lengthen the odds of loss of control. For such, stock is at best marginal. My idea of a proper build for a Chevrolet/GM S10 4x4, as an example, would involve the V6-4.3 through a 10.5" clutch into a ZF S6-650 into a Jerico auxiliary 'box (two underdrives and one overdrive) into a New Process 205FM into dual 9" Curries, with six-pot Baer brakes forward and, four-pot Delco-Moraines with 7.5" backup drums aft. Fore-and-aft four-links with railroad-grade coaxial springs. The heaviest-rated tires available for the widest wheels that will fit the stock wells. And I've yet to find a satisfactory driver's seat.
I've always hated seeing people put their feet on the dashboard! I feel for her, but lesson learned to anyone who does that!
Autos are not designed for sitting like that, as comfortable as it may be for some people. Driver was too close to the car in front and did not have enough room to stop. This is a very common bad habit among inexperienced drivers. I hope the young woman heals well.
ok, i will not do that ever again. this scares me
I’ve never done that before and I’m not even comfortable driving near people if I see their feet up on the dashboard.
Youre alive and thats all that matters. Its ridiculous that your mom resents the fact that you are now dependent on her, she should be happy that she still has you.
I'mma be showing my 13 older sister this and hopefully she stops
My boyfriend is always mad when i put my feet on the dashboard like that. Lol
I used to that all the time and my sister does it now. I think I'll be having words :/
i never ever do that in a moving car except when it's completely stationary and im waiting for my mom to come back from getting groceries or smth
I do this all the time and my mom tells me not to...I will never do this again...
I’ve seen this video years ago and think about this girl every time i put my feet up and put them right back down
This is shocking and sad at the same time
Who the fuck even does that?
+Nicole Juniper I car really carsick and it helps. Though after this I would rather just take a barfbag and hope I don't need it.
+Riv Racost maybe see a doctor then, I think it's better to be safe, but puking isn't fun
Nicole Juniper yeah this really puts things in perspective.
sorry.... i do
Nicole Juniper I know right!
Our traffic teacher has done everything in the book to scare us from that stuff
My parents told me not to do that because the car would get dirty 😂
The exact same thing happened to me but I wasn't luckily not injured nearly as much as her. Busted lip and black eye jammed ankle and sprain knee but that was all. My driver fell asleep at the wheel and I was sleeping with my feet on the dash. I probably didn't get as hurt because I was sleeping and my body was relaxed and not tensed up when we crashed. I see how lucky I am after hearing this.
Wow! Thanks for informing us. I use to let my kid's do that. Not anymore!
I never thought to put my feet on the dashboard while riding in a car before, and I definitely won't do it after watching this video.
My mom warned me about this when I started riding in the front seat
Hallie Madigan Good👍🏿 she did the right thing
wow that describes my son to a tee , he has TBI from a road side bomb hitting his Humvee in Iraq , he has never been the same.
I'm guilty of putting my feet up on the dashboard
Poor Girl ☹️ She didn’t deserve that 😤
I cringe so hard when I see someone on the highway with their feet up on the dash
I am never putting my feet up on the dash again...
Im glad she survived & hope tht it'll get better for her. Im going to mindful so I don't make tht mistake and make a mistake by doing it so I don't be in her situation and tell others of the potential possibilities.
I never understood the habit of sitting like that in a car it's almost like wearing shoes in the house... I'm glad she's okay though I imagined her ending up worse.
I sat with my legs crossed, Indian style, on the seat during my car accident and it actually prevented me from having metal from the door go into my legs. So I'm not recommending that you sit like that but I'm also not going to not recommend it, you know? lmao.
I read that book too... I think it was called eye of a tiger or something like that
I literally always cross my legs on the dashboard... Wow im done
I do that almost every time I'm in the car...
That's scary I gotta stop putting my feet up
I’m not gonna lie I sometimes put my foot on the dashboard not even thinking about it. This is definitely a wake up call😳
i had home training so i wasnt allowed to put my feet on the dashboard, not only because the bottoms of your shoes are dirty and socks collect sweat but because of this reason right here
I only did that only once or twice in my life a couple years ago. Glad I don’t do that anymore(:
Aww this breaks my heart
It never occurred to me to put my feet up there. Now it will occur to me even less.
Well, now I'm scared for putting my feet up.
ToxicGam3rs Same..and I never have👍🏼...and never will👍🏽
Omg i always do this i won't anymore God bless her
They really need to make cars with stronger frames and better materials, its crazy how thin and plastic cars are becoming; it makes them faster but no one needs to be going 120 mph in cities etc
I never put my feet up on the dashboard because to me people can see you through the glass and you just look improper doing it.
Holy shit I always do that!! This is so scary
This is actually a great tip.
Phhhhu!!! Good thing I sit my legs crossed inside the car like you would on he floor.
I've never been able to do that, because my mom's windshield's a bit low and it leaves my legs in a terribly uncomfortable posistion. So... Thank goodness for a Suburban?
It’s stunnded her emotionally
I can’t put my feet upon the dashboard or I will get a whoopin to remember
I've *never* done that before.
I have never done that because i have a mother who brougth me up and taugth me the dangers of having our feet on the dashboard and not having a seat belt because we almo lost my oldest brother because he had his feet on the dashboard and no seat belt while he had his DRU
NK friend driving
His friend hit the car infront he died instantly but my brother did survive it he did not loose some of his memory but he is not cabablr of doing things on his own and hr cant play any of his favorite sportd that includes football(or soccer but its the American one) and the saddest thing for him is that he cant ride his horse anymore and his horse was his bestfriend and they were soulmates but im just happy he survived because hes my brother and my best friend even if we fitgh some days at the end of the day i love him
I would never sit like that anyway but thanks for the warning
Amanda Nightstar I wouldnt either! never have and never will! 🙏🏼👍🏼👌🏼
I have learn the lesson, thank you a lot lady!!!!
I only do that when we're parked or going slowly like in a drive thru or something
Can’t stop won’t stop
Why the heck would someone do that!?
I never put my feet up because 1) is super uncomfortable 2) my shoes are dirty and I don't want to dirty the car 3) it's not manners to be seat and 4) IT'S DANGEROUS
I never understood how putting your feet on the dashboard was comfortable anyway...
Good thing my mom yells at me when I do that so I don’t do it anymore
I do that every time i am in the car!
Damn! In my country if someone sees you doing that while driving, then dude "NO ONE CAN SAVE YOU FROM GETTING BEATEN BY PUBLIC"!!! You'll be dead before even having an accident!
I’ve never done that but tbh no one could ever do that either in my car 😑. You better keep ur feet on the floor 😒.
