SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) - Police say a woman who accidentally backed

her car off the fourth floor of a Springfield parking garage escaped

serious injury.


Police say on Monday the woman accidentally put her car in reverse,

then crashed through a metal barrier and out of the Dwight Street

garage.




The car landed on its roof on the pavement below, but police say the

driver was treated for non-life threatening injuries at a local

hospital. They say she was wearing a seat belt.




Police didn't identify the driver, except to say she was in her mid-20s.

I can not think of anyway that the car got like that.

At some point it rotated 180 deg along an axis parallel to the ground. WTF
 
well you see as the car backed out the rear tires lost the support of the garage floor before the front tires. This meant that while the force on the car downward was located at the center of mass the force upward on the car was not, giving it an angular momentum causing it to rotate.
 
it probably backed out under an angle causing it to spin as in a lincolen loop, otherwise it'd need some serious air to get there :D
 
women drivers....
wtf was she doing out of the kitchen anyway? hopefully she was just grabbing her boyfriend beer or a sandwich or something
 
lol i knew people would start making fun of my state. but you know else who cant drive? new jersey. holy shit you guys make me want to pull my hair out on the turnpike.

yea that explains the half switch backflip... but it also pulled a 180 in there too, judging by the direction the car is facing in the picture. i'd assume it spun upon hitting the ground on the roof.
 
hahaha i saw this shit on tv this morning.

and its true no one in mass can fucking drive. if your ever here take a trip down rt 2. its like all the retarded drivers packed into one 2 lane highway with a speed limit of 55

"Quick. Where are the safest drivers in the country?A new magazine ranking says Des Moines, Iowa.But the cities that follow on the list from Men’sHealth Magazine may be somewhat puzzling. After Des Moines are Jersey City, New Jersey; New York City; Yonkers, New York, and San Francisco."
zing.
 
look at the way it landed. even with your description, it's impossible for her to have BACKED out, flipped the car upside-down, and still have the rear facing towards the street.
something tells me the dumb bitch meant to back out, but accidentally shot forward into space and the article has it wrong.
 
seriously im a blonde, female, masshole, teenage driver and i dont even think im dumb enough to do that
 
who else would do this but the fuckfaces who live in the left lane going 69mph from boston to loon.

bummer she didnt at least break a femur or two.
