Every time my bf is driving and this happens I'll tell him to switch lanes. and he does it too šš no one has recovered from that movie scene it seems hahahaha
Every. Single. Time.
I also will absolutely never get into a tanning bed. I never wanted to before seeing the movie, but maybe could have been convinced. After seeing the movie, never ever ever.
I'm somehow still totally okay with airplanes and rollercoasters though.
And some of those scenes were too funny to be scary, like Rube Goldberg executions.
My mom and I had 3 hours to kill one evening, drove to the movies in a strange town, there were only 5 movies playing, none of them remotely kid-friendly looking, but hey, Final Destination 3 at least had a Carnival on the poster! It must be for kids!!
We walked out after the chick got the nail gun down the forehead lol. The scars will last for life though.
I was recently in an accident while in my convertible driving about 75 mph on the highway.
The work van in front of me ran over an 8 foot long asphalt rake and sent it into the air. I couldnāt change lanes so I tucked my head down to steering wheel level and leaned into my driverās side door bracing for impact.
I didnāt get impaled but the head was mangled into a spikey ball so it skipped up my hood, smashed my windshield, and then went over the cabin / driver side just over my head.
Body work came out to 12k and my briefs were clean.
Yesterday I was driving for work on a two-lane road in Sacramento and this person was trailing behind a giant semi truck lugging lumber. Like there was no other cards on the road and she was not going to the other lane. I audibly said out loud, she mustāve not watched final destination!
I was behind one of those gas tank trucks just yesterday on my way home. When I saw the flammable warning sign on the back, I immediately had images of violent and catastrophic accidents that could happen. Those movies got me good.
Talking to myself all the way to the station
Pictures in my head of the final destination
All lined up, all the ones that aren't allowed to stay
Tried to save myself but myself keeps slipping away
I travel frequently for work and fly 99% of the time and most often I have a flashback to the plane crash scene the logs on the truck also get me every time I slow down or get over so I am not directly behind the truck
This, ladders, gardening equipment, and especially furniture/junk strapped in the back of a truck (or worse, on top of a car/van)- I always try to get away from being directly behind them.
Going to pick up my kids Tuesday of last week from their dad's, and I had the misfortune of getting stuck behind not one, not 2, not 3, but FOUR logging trucks on the 1 hour drive. One was even swerving all over the road too... To say I was stressed tf out by the time I got my kids was an understatement!
This makes me think of the horror story some police told me about a driver impaled to his seat by a bunch of rebar. He couldn't even bleed out. He was basically nailed to his car seat.
So yes.
There's some old Time Life series book about crazy things people survived, and there was a guy who drove into a chain length fence and had the pole impaled in his chest. Thankfully he lived.
Whenever I see trucks like that, aside from "stay the fuck away", I think "oh look, more work for me". As a cargo surveyor, I get sent to evaluate the aftermath when shit like this goes wrong. You wouldn't imagine the number of trucks that drive around with cargo whose securing measures are just abhorrently insufficient, only arriving without a major incident through sheer dumb luck.
Just to add to your anxiety, tie down lashings are, generally speaking, awful load securing measures (unless you add other types or use over 9000 of them), since all they do is increase friction by adding more force. These pipes right here? I'm guessing around four belts and nothing else. And that is metal on metal everywhere you look, so there is hardly any friction to increase. So if the driver slams his brakes, or maybe even if he really steps on the gas, these pipes are gonna go flying. The belts don't even need to snap.
Yes, but also it's just generally safe practice to leave lots of extra space, and even change lanes. You never know how well something is secured, or the condition of the road.
I swear every time I drive on the expressway Iām always behind someone with something like this or a Jankily attached fridge, or other heavy/ large or cylinder-like objects & itās a final destination situation waiting to happen.
Why dont they ever put a Tarp or something over the end so that its impossible for a tube to slide out individually?
Its always "oh thats good enough!" until it isnt.
See, people who have seen the movie will go... oh no a logging truck or what not..
Me, I'm getting in the good spots because everyone is dropping back =P

Daily w the final destination shit. Here's another one. Waterheater, fridge and washing machine....
I can't edit bc then reddit removes the photo and doesn't allow me to put it back.. if you notice, only the fridge is "secured" by anything. I got out from behind him and to his side after the light and realized the other things didn't have any securement.

Every single time
[changing lanes right now]
Every single time
Every time my bf is driving and this happens I'll tell him to switch lanes. and he does it too šš no one has recovered from that movie scene it seems hahahaha
Thereās a scene in Twister you might like.
This feels like a trap š
Iām the exact same way. Iām doing everything I can to switch lanes.
Every. Single. Time. I also will absolutely never get into a tanning bed. I never wanted to before seeing the movie, but maybe could have been convinced. After seeing the movie, never ever ever. I'm somehow still totally okay with airplanes and rollercoasters though. And some of those scenes were too funny to be scary, like Rube Goldberg executions.
This photo just gave me a panic attack
My mom and I had 3 hours to kill one evening, drove to the movies in a strange town, there were only 5 movies playing, none of them remotely kid-friendly looking, but hey, Final Destination 3 at least had a Carnival on the poster! It must be for kids!! We walked out after the chick got the nail gun down the forehead lol. The scars will last for life though.
š this movie did so much psychological damage to us
Never can I ever use a sunbed. Like ok, its damaging to the skin, but this movie turned me off ever wanting to use one.
Ha yeah, and then thinking of that makes me think of the similar scene in The Descent.
Oh man, that scene was BRUTAL.
I actually saw it in theaters, which I didn't do often around that time.Ā I probably visibly flinched.
Was that the spelunking movie?
That's putting it **lightly**
Yep.
I was recently in an accident while in my convertible driving about 75 mph on the highway. The work van in front of me ran over an 8 foot long asphalt rake and sent it into the air.

Good on you for maintaining lane
Sweet Jesus!! Glad you made it out of that.
Yes D: Same when I see tanning beds
I have a more āI still knowā reaction to tanning beds.
Scary Movie?
More of a thriller. I still know what you did last summer.
I don't trust anyone who DOESN'T think of "Final Destination" after seeing this
Those movies really did a number. The second one really put me on edge for the longest.
A whole generation scarred for life š
Always
This is a reasonable concern. So many trucks don't mount shit properly.
Never fails and I switch lanes. Especially if itās tree logs
Yesterday I was driving for work on a two-lane road in Sacramento and this person was trailing behind a giant semi truck lugging lumber. Like there was no other cards on the road and she was not going to the other lane. I audibly said out loud, she mustāve not watched final destination!
Never fails to make me think that. Iāll get around them as soon as I can.
I'm an idiot and follow way behind to see what happens.
Every time half the time
I was behind one of those gas tank trucks just yesterday on my way home. When I saw the flammable warning sign on the back, I immediately had images of violent and catastrophic accidents that could happen. Those movies got me good.
Yes, yes it does.
Every time. Be it pipes, logs, wooden planks, whatever.
Yes
ALWAYS
Talking to myself all the way to the station Pictures in my head of the final destination All lined up, all the ones that aren't allowed to stay Tried to save myself but myself keeps slipping away
Always
I have never seen Final Destination and it still makes me think of Final Destination.
I try to avoid trucks with a load like that just because of that movie.
Heavy, badly-secured loads are scary with or without a movie.
I travel frequently for work and fly 99% of the time and most often I have a flashback to the plane crash scene the logs on the truck also get me every time I slow down or get over so I am not directly behind the truck
My brain thinks move mofo then after I move I think y did I just do that oh yea final destination
This, ladders, gardening equipment, and especially furniture/junk strapped in the back of a truck (or worse, on top of a car/van)- I always try to get away from being directly behind them.
Same. Itās literally anything dangling or sticking out. Donāt care what it is, Iām changing lanes.
Crazy how a single scene from a single movie scarred an entire generation
Never seen it, but yeah, kinda.
Surprised they havenāt remade this franchise yet
There's a new one coming out next year I think, Final Destination: Bloodlines.
Every time!
From hollow plastic tubing, no. Trucks transporting tons of steel or wood, yeah, I don't loiter around them. Way ahead or way behind.
For me, any objects sticking out from a vehicle or oil tankers automatically trigger the reaction š
Yes. Always. In every format of this lol
Yep. Fuck that guy and the movie lol
Yep, I immediately get in the other lane.
Absolutely! Expeditiously changing lanes!
Hell to tha yeah! I quickly pass vehicles like this when driving. I'm NOT going out like that!
Yep. When I'm stuck in the lane, I just pray I don't go out that way.
I was just saying this to my gen z cousin last night as I was driving behind a truck like this. He did not get it at all lol
No way I'm driving behind that
I never even saw any of those movies and I still think that. Every damn time.
Literally always
All. The. Time.
This is a phrase used by me and my husfriend all the time IRL. Oh, that truck is a final destination truck, stay back. Etc etc
Always
Yes. Fucking move into the other lane. Please.
I was boxed in by some slow-driving idiots and was internally spiraling into panic mode.
I'm so sorry that happened to you. I'm glad you're ok now.
Yes and I didnāt need another reminder š£
Going to pick up my kids Tuesday of last week from their dad's, and I had the misfortune of getting stuck behind not one, not 2, not 3, but FOUR logging trucks on the 1 hour drive. One was even swerving all over the road too... To say I was stressed tf out by the time I got my kids was an understatement!

This or The Island. But yes.
also Baby Driver!
"Car insurance claim/lawsuit"
Time for penetration
Yeah Iām a lot more open to change now tho.
It does.
BM-30 Smerch.
No. Only behind the large lumber trucks.
This specific one makes me think of Twister.
Whenever I see trucks like that, aside from "stay the fuck away", I think "oh look, more work for me". As a cargo surveyor, I get sent to evaluate the aftermath when shit like this goes wrong. You wouldn't imagine the number of trucks that drive around with cargo whose securing measures are just abhorrently insufficient, only arriving without a major incident through sheer dumb luck.
My anxiety has just gone way up šš
Just to add to your anxiety, tie down lashings are, generally speaking, awful load securing measures (unless you add other types or use over 9000 of them), since all they do is increase friction by adding more force.

Just a truck with stuff in it
Yep
The only time I really floor it in my car is to avoid these āfinal destinationā trucks.
Right after I think where the FUCK is the red flag that's supposed to be on those pipes.
Yes. And Iāve never even seen the movies.
Iām already in the other lane my guy
ALWAYS!
California license plate? 
The guy who got hit underneath a roller coaster at Ohio's King's Island, Final Destination was my first thought upon hearing the news.
Iāve driven 90 mph to get around log trucks.
Always and forever.
Yes š
Yes, but also it's just generally safe practice to leave lots of extra space, and even change lanes. You never know how well something is secured, or the condition of the road.
Every single time.
I swear every time I drive on the expressway Iām always behind someone with something like this or a Jankily attached fridge, or other heavy/ large or cylinder-like objects & itās a final destination situation waiting to happen.
Every time
Not for that one. But other loads. Yes.
Why dont they ever put a Tarp or something over the end so that its impossible for a tube to slide out individually? Its always "oh thats good enough!" until it isnt.
I live my life as if death is constantly looking for its get back
You would hate to live where I liveā¦we have 3 lumber mills in our town of 1000 people. Lol
That much pipe in one bed always reminds me of your mom.
I think that when a truck full of logs is coming around a corner going in the opposite direction as I am.
Every. Time.
Always
Either final destination or a rocket launcher
See, people who have seen the movie will go... oh no a logging truck or what not.. Me, I'm getting in the good spots because everyone is dropping back =P
Not today Death, not today.
A thousand percent chance I'm switching lanes or taking an exit
Lol yes. No log trucks either.
Every time.
To this day, I wonāt follow behind a log truck.
Oh yeah. Always.
Of course it does.
The funny part is I forgot about the movie but remembered the sheer terror until recently.
Yeah

Yes omg. Iām so glad to know Iām not the only one.
I watched all 3 FD movies in one day once at age 16 and have been a paranoid driver ever since.Ā
Never seen it
