The fact that we've graduated from scenes from poorly researched TV programmes to actual malpractice is... disturbing.

We need more, many more Green Screens. They’re the best.

Oh dear. Yeah I just assumed there was no one still in the vehicle and the only stupid thing would be the guy by the bumper... nope that was horrifying to watch.

Imagine being in a car crash and a second time when the fire-rescue service are getting you out of your wreck

I am a heavy duty tow operator. I have trained with several local Fire Depts. One of the things we have tried is rolling a vehicle with the patient still inside. But we had a catch line that would lower the vehicle slowly. The general consensus was this was a bad idea and they should be removed before attempting to move the vehicle.

The fact that this is real and not an episode of Station 19 makes me want to wrap myself in bubblewrap.

I thought "there's NO WAY the patient is still in the car." Then I thought "but of course there is, otherwise this wouldn't be a video" but was I STILL shocked to see the patient bounce around when the car touched down? Hell ya.

I'm an italian Red Cross EMT, this video is "famous" here in Italy and many profanities has been thrown. Like you usually say, we all hope that "someone's getting fired" after this. I've never had a problem with Vigili del Fuoco in my career but really, i can't imagine how idiot you are to do this, and the EMTs are not saying a word!

At first I didn't really see the problem until he mentioned people inside and I'm like "No...no they couldn't have...OH NO."

I just kept looking at that one firefighter and going "Wait, your plan is to hold up a car by yourself? You know what we call that in my country? Getting crushed by a car."

You know it's going to be really bad when you see a guy try to slow decent by grabbing a bumper.

I can't believe this is real! The stupidity of these "firefighters" is unbelievable!

Gravity is not just a good idea. It's the law.

If you guarantee a spinal injury then you don’t have to assume they have one

Bruh these “fire department” people cannot be real 💀💀💀

20 bucks says the dude holding the car is the new guy

And here I was beliving you got the injured *person out of the car* before flipping it over. Silly me

“Patients’ necks were broken; died on impact.” R/technically true

It's terrible. Not all the italian firefighters are ignorant this way. I can only apologize with the person inside the car, in the name of all the (real) professional firefighters in the Corpo Nazionale. Anyway, we can learn from this terrible rescue behaviour and make all that's possible to improve our standards. Greetings from Genova!

You know, for a moment, I thought this was going to be another scene from a dumb firefighting show on TV. But it wasn't. This was real. Just wow.

This is why there are rules and regulations for things you would assume are common sense.

This is why firefighters can't catch a break. It just takes a couple of untrained idiots to make a bad name for a great group of heroes.

I’ve seen this in person. Two local volunteer firefighters driving through our city thought it would be a good idea to push the vehicle on that was on its side, back onto its wheels while two trapped patients were still inside.

I was wondering when he’d mention the Bumper guy, its all I could look at!

I wonder what your thoughts are on the scene from Final Destination 2 where the fire fighters inadvertently trigger the air bag which violently thrusts the driver’s head back impaling her into the sharp protruding PFC pipe that’s lodged into the drivers side headrest. I still hate that scene because even at 11 or 12 years old, I knew the firemen fucked up by not taking care of that pipe first.

That’s one terrifying “extrication.” Love the green screening!

Yikes. I have no training in rescue whatsoever, and even I would try to get the person out first. The whole hatchback thing seems like it would make that easy, but even pulling them out of the top of the vehicle has to be preferable to shaking them up, and possibly jostling anything that's penetrated the body or cracked ribs. That just seems like basic logic. I really can't think of any reason staying in the car and righting it would be preferable unless they're robbers and you're trying to help them effect a quick escape post-rescue. When Leverage goes wrong?

The shame I felt when I noticed they're Italian firefighters

I am an Italian EMT (which makes me go on a whole rant, since the “paramedic” does not exist here) and seeing how these are Italian firefighters, trust me we would beat the shit out of that particular fire brigade.

They stabilized it! With their bodies. If only we had equipment and techniques so we didn't have to risk the two limbs we get...

Man, never change, you are awesome

That conversation probably went like this. Driver: Thank god that I survived that crash more or less uninjured. Firefighter: Hey, we are going to flip a car. Driver: Nice Firefighter: With you inside. Driver: Cool, hey broken spine is easy to heal right? Right?

Actually the patient is fine (just mere luck), one firefighter holding the patient head got his shoulder dislocated, and the teamleader (red helmet) got suspended. :)

I’m not trained to do any of this, and even I was asking “the hell are you doing standing where that car is gonna land when they pull it over?”

Mental note: Do not get in a car wreck in Italy.

the fact there was a guy standing where a car was about to land is... mind boggling... "I swear my knees can handle it, just tip this car over me... ye- yeah I'm just gonna be completely under this car, it's fine... trust me... no no, you don't need to call an extra ambulance. I'm either gonna be okay, or dead"

i assume these italians are probably voluntary or conscripted firefighters in switzerland we have the same system, while cities usually have professionals, small town have volunteers. And if they don't find enough volunteers they can conscript people

Im not familiar with this event or why they did as shown - but… There are places (Denmark and Norway at least) where we use uprighting the vehicle with patient still entrappet inside. It is very rare and only used when A: the person is critically injured B: heavilly entrapped and C: no other means can extract the patient in less then 15 minutes. Then the vehicle will be dragged onto solid surface, turned with roof up if necessary and heavy chains are attached to the A and C collums and with vehicle mounted winched pulled apart after the top of the A collums are cut along with a tension cut in the bottom inside the door with the A collum. Very brutal, only used as a last resort method to try and save a life.

What is that single fire fighter even doing? "you pull it, I'll gently lower it to the ground.... No I'm not The Hulk, or even a power lifter, why do you ask?"

As a tow truck driver I feel unsafe that those firefighters or First Responders are in the way like that , please do not roll the vehicle over like that, it is very dangerous for all individuals, we want to roll the vehicle over with our tow truck, that is what makes our job exciting, so in layman's terms get the patient out ,and wait for the tow truck to do the professional job of doing a rollover accident.THANK YOU

At least the guy holding the bumper didn't get crushed as I was expecting him to

These green screen videos are probably my favorite KZfaq series and much better than the original please continue making more

Even station 19 or 9-1-1 lone star couldn't come up with this

The absolute dread I felt when I realized this is actual real life and not a tv show... some people need to not be firefighters and/or not be *teaching* firefighters.

"You can't be this dumb" is always met with 'wanna bet?"

I kind of had the same reaction to that guy who got his leg crushed the other week. I was like, why is he climbing into the car before his partner puts that stabilizer in place that he's got right in his hands, oh there goes the car, and there goes his legs He's a hero though!

I'm pretty sure these are voluntary firefighters in some rural part of Italy. Doesn't make this practice any better, but you have to judge volunteers different from career...

as a Belgian EMT: what the actual fuck? people trapped inside a rolled over car is hard to get out safley, it just takes a bit more time and effort the only reason i can think of to do something like this if the live of the patient is at risk due to carrdiac arrest etc and you need to get them out ASAP

If he found out I was even on this scene, my extrication instructor would have slapped me silly! Who, exactly, thought that any part of this was a good idea?

We did that one time but the drivers head was under the a pillar and looked like a smashed grape. The car was super unstable and we decided this was the safest way. But nobody was trying to slow the car down by pushing on the bumper

The dainty mincing and prancing of bumper holder guy! A desk jockey if ever I saw one.

These videos make my day everytime.

For the non-firefighting/emts/etc.: It’s absolutely fine to turn a crashed vehicle back onto it’s wheels with a patient still inside. But you do fixate the patient with an inner rescuer to his seat and turn the car with a lot of ropes, poles and a bunch of people…sloooooowlllyyyy. And then you do a proper rescue…and that means no KED in 90% of the time. btw: is there a source of the video somewhere ? Could use it for teaching.

Wow..I wish I could believe that this was a TV show and not footage of an actual incident scene.. I'm amazed that anyone would think this was a good idea

Speed is key here with these extractions. These guys were very efficient. Bravo.

Jason made my day with this one

Didn't realize speedrunning entered the firefighter field, any % category is gonna be wild.

I seem to recall there was something about potential neck and spinal injuries. Was it jostle the patient around violently until their vertebrae realign? *shrug*

LOVE it! That is definitely a " hold my beer watch this' moment.

What a wonderful start to a Dear Chief letter,about how you got someone hurt on a training exercise.

How do you "stabilize a vehicle"? I don't tell me I'm dumb, because this type of thing is never mentioned to me and there's no other way for me to pick up on this!

The fact that no one STOPPED THEM from using LUCK to prevent the patient being YEETED out of the OPEN door headfirst into the concrete as it rolled is what really boggles my mind. Like, you can see the terror on the patients face as rolls. And I guess they had already cleared cspi- oh...no. They didn't do that either.

"Maybe we should wait for the tow truck to roll the car, they are professionals" "Nah, I've seen Heavy Rescue 401, it's not hard, we got this"

That lady just went “SQUISH” against the B pillar of that car…

Can you just spend a week at my towns stations? They could learn a lot lol great video Jason! Thanks for the laughs

If you are wondering, those firefighters are italian.

POWER WHIPLASH! the stuff that comes out of your mouth is a comedy goldmine 🤣

I'm not a first responder, but I was first on the scene of a rollover of a Toyota Landcruiser back in 2005. When I arrived, the vehicle was on its side, with the driver's head out the side window and pinned under the B pillar. She was unconscious. The passenger was trying to get out, and in doing so was causing the vehicle to rock back and forth onto the driver's head. There was fuel leaking and a battery was arcing on the body as the passenger moved around (yes, I am aware it sounds like a movie). Rightly or wrongly, I did the following in order: 1. told the passenger to stop moving and wait 2. got my toolkit and removed the batteries (it had a deep cycle and regular battery). 3. Walked away from the fuel and rang for emergency services 4. Got a couple of ropes and stabilised the vehicle off the driver's head using truck hitches and a tree, and used whatever I could find to prop the car up. 5. checked on the unconscious driver - she was bleeding but breathing and due to her position, was in about as good a 'recovery position' as possible and I couldn't get her out because she was still partly pinned. 6. Helped remove the passenger, got him a safe distance away from the leaking fuel and checked for injuries, applied first aid. 7. Waited for emergency services and periodically checked on and comforted the driver, who went in and out of consciousness, and the passenger. I never heard what happened to them. After the emergency services came and took a statement they directed me to leave. I am pretty driver survived as a fatality wasn't recorded for that day. I still think about it from time to time.

oh no... it's gonna be a bad day

What’s next they try to use a defibrillator for flat line.

"Lets stand under the vehicle were flipping."

At first I thought this was a video about doing it old school like waaay back in the day when we used to have a couple of tow trucks use their winches to pull bits off cars so we can access the patient. Maybe they put a Philadelphia collar on the patient first? I mean since were talking about using way outdated last quarter of the 20th century techniques. The whole thing reminds me of Super Dave. Remember Super Dave?

I saw something similar here in Germany, but they used a ladder (or two) to let the car slowly down.

"Power whiplashed" "Coup countercoup oblivion" Niiiiiice👌👌

The mock report got me laughing hard! I had to rewatch just for that.

This looks like the kind of auto extrication done in 1070 s cop shows like before personal injury lawyers evolved from the ooze!

Can you do one on the Chicago Fire episode where Severide removes an impaled object from a kid without having any way to stop the inevitable blood flow that happens? Also, this happens while they are trapped in an overturned earth mover, with no phone 🙄😄

Oh good, it’s been a while since we got one of these. What a treat!

At first glance I thought this was a 911 Lone Star, Station 19, or a 911 green screen 🤣🤣🤣 but still a great green screen, keep em’ coming

Well...putting the car back first is not completely wrong...but not that way... Sometimes the risk of the trauma of hanging downwards is more urgent so the doctor who is the shot caller (at least in Germany) could order to put the car from the side back on to the wheels... But and that is important controlled with enough muscle power to do so...and not just dropping it like that...

I'm only trained in very basic first aid, but even I know doing this, with someone inside the vehicle, was a bad idea! 🤯

I love these videos so much, you always know how to make stupidity into comedy.

The guy holding the bumper did me in…I just can’t.

I just laughed so hard, I snorted. I can't imagine having to explain that to our MPD. He would not be amused.

Reminds me of that firefighter who climbed in the car while it was not secured and then it tipped over. Was in NY I believe.

For the record, I believe that "Vigili del Fuoco" means this comes to us from Italy.

He's the Angry Cops of the 1st responders lol

Imagine being the bystander that says "Don't yank them out, we'll make it worse. Let the pros do it."

I came for the fire-fighting, but stayed for the sarcasm 😄

Thank goodness someone got that on camera

What's worse, no one even thought to get the person out or if someone thought that but everyone was like, "Nah, it'll be fine."

Nice lol

Oh for f sake 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ Is it everybodys first day at their job

We were taught to go through the muffler to reach the victim , then drag them out through the antenna hole .

Man. That fireman really helped. Without him, that car would have went down too hard and killed the victim

Go Italy 🤣🤣🤣🤣 GreenScreening has gone International. YES. But a Fiat Panda doesn't weight 3000lbs only 2600lbs. 😁 00:14 The guy holding the phone says "they are insane"

There are specialized tools for situations like that, I don’t know how you miss that

Your eyes bulding out of your head is hysterical!!!!

Them getting the KED afterwards is gold

>"Vigili del fuoco" > Small red helmet >It's a fucking volounteer from Italy Fuck why is it always our goddamn "volontari" making a mess... our professionals don't do this kind of BS. When my uncle got wrecked, they broke the door free to put him onto a transporter. Still, the FIAT Panda isn't 3000 lbs, just 1500... but it was still stupid nonetheless. Again, volounteers.
