can someone explain how exactly an incline will slow u down if you end up going backwards on it?
brakes? breaks?
help me understand how they know when the brakes are going to go out?
For anyone who is confused, the truck driver lost his air brake pressure, which means he can't stop, and he's going down a steep grade and is only gaining more speed.... So he took the escape ramp, which is usually deep sand or rock that will help slow the truck down while going up an incline. Yes, what goes up must come down and if he lost his air brakes then guess what he can't stop so he has to try and jacknife the truck and trailer to stop it from rolling down the hill.... This driver did a great job cause if he didn't take that ramp, he and others would have died for sure.
Except for when he looses control from going back down
incidentally it's not just the slope here.ive seen these ramps at a down slope. Rather it is the materials used,the depth of the ramp and the length. In this case the trucker probably lost his braking system. By the sound of his engine he was just going way too fast particularly around that curve and without the ability to decelerate his only option was to use the ramp. By the sound of the engine reving hard especially on an incline it was fairly obvious would he have not used that ramp it would have ended very bad for this trucker! Although he did start going backwards at the end. He ventured too far forward to drive back onto the road and onto oncoming traffic
I don’t get why the engine was reving on the way up the ramp? Was he down shifting gears to slow down?
These are absolutely ingenious. Safes life’s everyday. And as a truck driver…. This is a savior… so instead of everybody being negative or trying to find something negative to say about the driver or video…….. think about the BIGGER PICTURE U IDIOTS!
congratulations! you're fired. every driver knows unless you own your own truck and you hit that runaway ramp. you just lost your job because no matter how you spend it bad breaks, loss of air, blowing a airline. whatever the actual problem is it all comes down to driver negligence. you just lost your job
This is fake as hell. J drove through 8 of them. My semi truck sunk tons complete stop
loving my feed full of safety inventions saving lives today.🤷♂️😇🤣
No breaks? 🤣🤣
My god, are people really too stupid to figure out what's going on in this video? Really?
Holy crap. I didn’t think it would roll back. I thought it would get stuck. There’s no way he can stop. His brakes are gone. He’s gonna jack knife and roll it. Anyone have the rest of the video?
if the brakes were completely gone to where you couldn't pull the air brake out when the truck finally stopped if you could not apply the air brake you should have already been throwing it into like third or fourth gear and stalling the truck out on the hill so you didn't roll backwards
Well let’s speed down hill just in case we loose breaks
guy should of turned the wheel soon as he stopped
I'm from western Massachusetts, and these run away breakdown lanes for tractor trailer trucks are awesome and have most definitely saved countless lives.
$10,000....gone.....in 10 seconds
Those off ramps save many drivers when the breaks fail Thank goodness for them 🤷
...and then he stripped down, washed up, changed and got rid of his soiled drawers before State Patrol showed up.😂
you have to turn the wheel, however he should have known to do a pretrial knowing has going over a mountain pass like that
I used one in Arkansas for my car. 66 mustang with single master cylinder. Got exhaust and rubber brake line touching.
he almost shot to the moon that truck should have sunk in the sand and got stuck that's thr point of these ramps.
thats because he wS using the breaks the whole way dwn and the brakes heated up .which makes them useless
It suck’s when you use those ramps as a truck driver you have to pay for the truck to be towed out
it's Guna cost more to get it tow out than to fix it if you would just crash it 😂
What stops it on the way down?! Surprised they don’t flip in this process
No “breaks” then he should hit the brakes pull over and take a break…
damn that's scary AND he almost got to the end of the softsand
he should have put it in 1st after he stopped
I swear I could smell.that dust & dirt..
I never seen them roll back down before
I didn't hear he uses the engine break
Oh how scary!!! I’m glad it worked! 🥰
im glad to see on get used. finally.
no Brakes not no breaks lmao
what's happening exactly
Good job scary as fuck
good going onbte tuck
Whoooa boy whooooooa
Niiiiiiiiccce😳😁
Why did he wait to hit the Jake right before the ramp
With all the gadgets trucks have these days.. what didn't the truck tell him there was a problem with his breaks a long time ago. Good job to him for keeping his cool.
speed racer
It’s more concerning that whoever posted this video doesn’t understand the concept between brakes and “breaks”
I-70
he needs to turn wheel to the right so his trailer hits the hill
no brakes lol😂
So what was the outcome ??
BRAKES! He wasn't tired and in need of rest. That's a break. His truck won't work right after this. That's a break.
B R A K E S....Lou Mak. Geeeez....
Why is it not blocked off at all
Sounds like his Jake's or engine brakes are working fine wonder what happened if indeed happens at all
It’s brakes not breaks! Uneducated people!
SAND people it's the long road with 4ft thick sand on it..duh..
what was the reason it didn't sink, the most ramps I've seen were spread loose and deep and it would stop it.
Howdafuk he gone stop goin backwards 😂
Just press y bro
aliens look at us the same way I look at ants drowning to make a bridge
the truck roll back slowly down the ramp, when it reach the bottom of the ramp it will level of, trailer on the pavement, cab nose up, truck in gear engine off
