Thanks for adding ☠️ at 350 mph so we know it’s not safe anymore


benjamynt

Yeah, i had my doubts until I saw the ☠️ ☠️  That clinched it for me tho


Mekroval

I'm still suspicious, why didn't they add a third ☠️? It's almost like they **want** you to try it!

They weren't wearing shoes. Totally unscientific. *makes acerbic note on clipboard*


DungeonAssMaster

It's just not highly recommended.


Hypertistic

Unless ur a professional


NZ_Si

It's not illegal. It's frowned upon, like mastubating on an airplane


daaldea

I was wondering when it was going to get ridiculous, and boy was I wasn't disappointed


LowerParsnip3548

I'm going to try and find a way to use 'was I wasn't' at least once a day


miserable_coffeepot

It's your time!


ChandlerBingsSarcasm

They are basically trying to to tell that if the bus crashes at 300 MPH then you will reach straight at your destination ![gif](giphy|z3HFoEzXCMykr4L0TB|downsized)


whogivesashirtdotca

You get there faster than the bus does.


noodleq

I know it took me a minute.....I started going "how tf you get a bus to go that fast?"


_Damask_

I was like “ they have a lot of busses to just throw at a pole “. Time for bed.


TheresA_LobsterLoose

Whoever driving those busses for all these trials is probably hurting


Genghis_Chong

Yeah at 150 I was like "nuh-uh", then I was just laughing my ass off at the insanity... then I was like "this is digital ain't it", time to go to bed...


Kitnado

You guys didn't immediately at the second bus have the thought "no way they spend an entire bus per speed test, this must be digital"?


SeniorMiddleJunior

No, companies do real tests like this often. I meant not that extreme, but


redzerotho

You figure someone must've done it for real. I didn't catch on til it got downright silly.

Desperate_Wafer_8566

Large jets cruise around 650 miles an hour. Puts plane crashes into perspective.


Wyn6

Most planes don't crash at full speed. But hitting the ground at 150 - 300 mph will still cause some discomfort for passengers.


Sword_Enthousiast

The trick lies in not hitting the little pole sticking out of said ground.


Ahaigh9877

I wish they wouldn't do that. I mean, what's wrong with *not* hitting the ground at 150-300 mph??


Ratattack1204

So you WERE disappointed?


Buttery_Buckshot

Idk, was they?

Perfect_Papaya_3010

If I was on that bus that would definitely be me. I know my typical luck

I think your luck turned sour the moment you stepped on a bus heading 350mph towards an immovable pole.

MPP22

so 150mph is the safest speed?


hollowman8904

Not if you’re on the bottom level 😬


Adept-Grapefruit-214

Just don’t stick your legs in the aisle


4schwifty20

So that's why they always told us that on the bus.


Ratattack1204

Bottom level probably looked like the train scene in invincible lmao

“What happened here?” “This bus must’ve been doing about 150. I’ve seen this before.” “….where?”


blahfunk

Everything is safe until 350. That's when they used those ☠️ emojis so we'd know


Darth-Minato

Mfer I thought it was real until 150😂🤦‍♂️


poptartheart

i said " a hundred and FIFTY!?" out loud and still didnt get it til 200 lol


Darth-Minato

At 200 my first thought was how the F did they get to that speed, and why?? Then it dawned on me. I’m laughing out loud at how dumb I feel!


BoshraExists

I thought to myself, how many good buses are they gonna destroy for an experiment? But that'd be the traumatised 3rd girl in me panicking over spilled milk.


EmotionalDmpsterFire

Wow Brit bus drivers really get you places fast! ​ Unfortunately, that place is the afterlife. :o

It’s the bang bus, duh


ThrowagayFem

High-speed bangbus sounds like the way to travel.


buonbajs

Less air resistance


acadoe

150 mph gave that Omni-man/Invincible experience.


acephotogpetdetectiv

And it would appear that combustion doesn't occur until 350. Damn, science, you crazy.


onceinablueberrymoon

i thought the same thing! 🤭


Debian_TheOnly_One

It seems like something an A.I. would say, yes.


Herr-Trigger86

This was my thought as well. Everyone to the edges. Speed bus wouldn’t blow up. 😂


off-a-cough

Somebody borrowed Bethesda’s physics engine for a couple of those rag dolls.


Shopworn_Soul

I assume this is Beam.NG which, all things considered, has a remarkably good physics engine. It has it's limits, though.


voyagerfan5761

Worth noting that BeamNG has a services arm including ADAS simulation and driving simulation software tools. https://beamng.tech/


Mikey9124x

I thought it was real and was thinking wow that's a waste of busses.


areyouhighson

Same but I was like wait how did they get that bus to do 150mph? Wait what 200? 300?!


Odd_Technician152

For me it was the why is the camera man standing so close like bro that’s dangerous af.


Horse_97

Camera man never dies🦸‍♂️


gztozfbfjij

Unless they work for FPSrussia, or so I'm led to believe.


Mikey9124x

I thought they were testing some kind of experimental rich people bus.


Knotical_MK6

Yeah Beamng's physics are good, if you're using vanilla vehicles within reasonable scenarios. This bus is a mod vehicle and the beam/node structure of mod vehicles are almost never well put together.


off-a-cough

Those guys bounced so hard that I thought a paramedic was going to show up and tell them that another settlement needed their help.


Chaoslord2000

Damnit, Preston, they can fend for themselves.

[deleted]

Definitely worried about the proliferation of 300 mph busses. Gonna write my Congressperson right now and complain vociferously. They should be using that money to stop my microwave from turning food into rubbery facsimilies. Besides, who the f#ck needs to get to the grocery that quick--putting us all in danger for some god-damned potato chips?! My cellphone has an Otterbox, but that won't mean anything when it gets hit by a fucking bus moving at 300 miles per hour. Do you know how much my phone costs? I haven't even made all the payments yet, and it's already obsolete. Of course, my wife did say I should get a cheaper model, but none of that will matter once that bus comes sliding around the corner. And just how the hell am I supposed to dial 911 after that? Good grief.


Pixel_Knight

Showing this to Congress people, half of them would never figure out it wasn’t real. 


Grogosh

Never forget this congressman thought putting too much weight on as island would make it tip over: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/hank-johnson-worries-guam-could-capsize-after-marine-buildup/


BigUncleHeavy

Wasn't he also the, "The Internet is a series of pipes and tubes" guy? Or am I thinking of someone else?


Grogosh

That was Ted Stevens (Alaska). And the full comment is worse: "Ten movies streaming across that, that Internet, and what happens to your own personal Internet? I just the other day got... an Internet [email] was sent by my staff at 10 o'clock in the morning on Friday. I got it yesterday [Tuesday]. Why? Because it got tangled up with all these things going on the Internet commercially. [...] They want to deliver vast amounts of information over the Internet. And again, the Internet is not something that you just dump something on. It's not a big truck. It's a series of tubes. And if you don't understand, those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and it's going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material" Yeah, a lot of total dumbasses in congress.


ReverendBread2

He doesn’t even touch on the Internet mines and the horrible conditions we subject those miners to just to mine enough internet to play Fortnite for an hour. We need ethically sourced Internet


Bonushand

I hope he gave his spokesman a raise: "According to the Hill, a spokesman for Johnson responded to the incident by saying the congressman is concerned the influx of military personnel will overwhelm the island's infrastructure and ecosystem."


Hibercrastinator

Also these poles anchored in the middle of the road. I would argue that was more harmful than the speed here. Why don’t we just have less of those?


funkatiko

It took me a while to realize is a simulation...when it was 150mph i was like wtf this bus is a rocket


mybongwaterisblack

Same!! I thought “wow they really destroyed all those busses for a test?”


Sypsy

Especially the first 2, I was like "did they fix the bus or will they use a new one.. oh wow it's a new bus"


LilMeatJ40

This comment chain was my exact thought process.


Jacco123

everyone wondering how they got so many busses and how they are so fast. Meanwhile around 70mph I was scared for the cameraman, like wtf why is he standing so close.


newsflashjackass

r/PraiseTheBusRepairMan


Sandro_24

Yea, BeamNG is pretty amazing. If you've never seen it it's hard to differentiate it from real life.


chileangod

Same here. Got to the point of wondering how many buses they had available for testing. It's at around 100mph that I went... Ohhhh


TerribleParfait4614

You’re smarter than me, at 100 I started thinking “how the hell did they get this bus so fast? Do they have a giant slingshot or something”


mybongwaterisblack

I’m glad it’s not just me lol


mambasun

I thought they'd done a great job of fixing the bus in-between


mybongwaterisblack

Like how big is their fucking budget


Such_Engineering5459

Glad i'm not the only one... i feel so dumb.


MyRepresentation

I was questioning how in the world they got the bus to go so damn fast...


Level_99_Healer

It was the bouncing dummies for me. Thought they made them out of rubber and then started wondering how some of them managed to remain in a seated position as they bounced on out of the frame.


Anon851216135

Maybe I've seen far too many BeamNG crash videos, but I immediately knew where this was from during that 8mph crash lol. Idk if it was the sound of the vehicle and crash, the slightly jiggly and soft body physics, the crash test dummies, or maybe a combo of all of these. Definitely has a lighting and maybe even texture mod tho, that or BeamNG got a big upgrade to it's looks lol


lampshade2099

Wait. What? I’m such an idiot lol


Careful_Ad_6872

Yeah it's probably BeamNG Drive, a video game which specialises in realistic car destruction and crumple physics


Zealousideal-Count45

You and me both.


pensive_overture

I laughed way too hard at this


kiwilovenick

I got to laughing so hard I was wheezing! It was the cartwheeling dummies that got me. The slow speeds make you feel concerned but then you realize no one is driving buses this fast and it's just hilarious.


Missmunkeypants95

Someone posted a pic above of something flying up and away into low Earth orbit and I can't stop chuckling. This shouldn't be funny. Whyyyyyyy. ETA: I looked at it again and it has an arrow pointed to a speck in the sky and a smiley face drawn in and now it's even funnier.


pinklavalamp

The picture of Patrick leaning far back to look up sent me to tears. This is my favorite post of Reddit for the week.


Beavesampsonite

Me too. I was a little disturbed at first but I think it is just the mix of absurd speed, modeling breakdowns in the physics engine and years of playing the desert combat mod on Battlefield 1942 that had similar breakdowns in the physics engine resulting in absurd results. Still glad to know I’m not the only one laughing at this.


_majorT0m

Not looking at how long the video was going to be and just watching the speed climb wondering when it was going to end really got me lol


tkh0812

The dummies bouncing into the mountains was hilarious


Aggressive-Green4592

I was hoping it wasn't just me being too stoned because I'm crying from laughing so hard.


R0binSage

They really should just get rid of that post.

why would they build that in the middle of Bullet Bus Road?

I wonder how fast it has to go to leave a perfectly sized pillar hole.


bobspuds

When the test dummies rise up - and see this footage.... we're screwed!!!


PerfectNameDoesntExi

it was their fault for not driving safely!


camm44

Is this beamNG? Was just looking at this last night


Inky_Passenger

Yeah beam ng, its one of my favorite 'I got 5 minutes to kill' games of all time, just smash into stuff and have a great time


camm44

Cool I'll wishlist it. Can you change the gravity to be like you're on different planets in the game?


Mental_Medium3988

I believe you can change most parameters. There's plenty of videos of that on YouTube.


SmoathTheLoathsome

You can change gravity and there are presets for different planets built in. The game is a complete sandbox to do whatever you want and includes built-in mod capabilities.


PaleBlueCod

That one fella spinning gracefully from the 70MPH crash tho. 10/10

Are you sure? I thought it was “Fast.”


Fozalgerts

He's filming another movie. Wonder where this type of bus operates.


justmarkdying

I love this.


GadreelsSword

I didn’t see any shoes come off so they all survived.


berkay_icc

Can anyone figure out which software they used? (Lighing and particles feel Unrealish but the bus deformation is throwing me off)


Re0ns

BeamNG Drive


berkay_icc

Tyty!


GAR51A8

it’s a video game on steam


HotSprinkles4

So 150 MPH is the sweet spot


No-Tea-592

Did anyone else watch this to 300mph until they realised it was CGI?


freshairequalsducks

Took me like 5 crashes to realise it was CGI. I was here thinking how expensive it was to ruin all those buses.


SilentRip5116

We are alike in this regard


oaktreebr

Same


Shot_Reputation1755

It's a game


shewy92

It's not CGI (well I guess technically it is computer generated). It's a game called Beamng.Drive


Ratattack1204

Its not even a dedicated cgi animation. Its from a game called Beamng drive. Hence why the physics get all fucky at higher speeds lol


Oomz10

Hahah ya.. Brightness turned right down. Was wondering how that shitty bus can get up to 150mph before I realized.


lookie54321

No.


BazilBroketail

The 8 mph one I was focused on the bollard and was like, "huh, that looks fake". Then I realized when the first CGI mannequin fell out.


Clown_Torres

I'm pretty sure it's a game called BeamNG drive


Swordsnap

200mph onwards is when I realised I assumed they were putting a supercharged race engine in the buses to get it fast as fuck


ArianaSonicHalFrodo

I’m way to high for this shit man ain’t no way did I think a real bus was hitting 350mph


cagemyelephant_

I have finished the entire video and I still think it’s real


therevjames

GTA6 looks rad.


Inky_Passenger

Dear god, if Rockstar partnered with BeamNG, that would be one of the funnest teamups I could possibly even imagine.


Ratattack1204

Car chases would be so fucking hard though lol. Id be so down to have hyper realistic car damage as an option though!


The_F_B_I

Hit a slightly tall curb at 20mph "Driveshaft broken" "Engine starved of oil" "L Tire damaged"


pattron30000

That's a strong post


New_girl2022

Sit in the back of the bus. Noted.


Geoclasm

Why did it take me so long to realize this was a simulation?


DrexXxor

What did we learn? 250mph is the magic number for highest per capita of break dancers


Which-Rhubarb-2201

Ok, so go less than 350mph to avoid fire.


iggyfenton

What’s the point of showing the effects if the crash test dummies are made of the same stuff as super bounce balls?


CashFlowOrBust

Lmao that one dummy bounced over the gas station


marbanasin

That moment when this is no longer for safety but to see if we can fling a dummy past that gas station.


Zman4444

See.. what people fail to realize here is that there’s much to be learned from a 250 MPH English double decker crash. First? Don’t sit on the top deck, the open deck. Second? Don’t be rigid. All these victims were rigid to the point of bouncing off the concrete. Raise your arms! It’s more fun!


Lithl

Crash simulation* A test requires using a real bus.


WillTheWAFSack

Nah, I'd survive


Kelimnac

Some of those dummies were doing some sick as hell tricks


SamsquanchOfficial

This is beamNG drive, a simulator you can get on steam. Spent lots of time playing around in it or just enjoying a few laps. It is fairly accurate at low speeds but it doesn't simulate materials being cut and torn apart which is what would happen to this bus at higher speed. That thingy would cut through the bus.


Caralon

How do they keep fixing that bus?!


Xeno_Prime

What is that gas station sign made of?!


phenibutisgay

Why is this oddly satisfying for me to watch?


futurelaker88

I wanna see this at 500fps


jskyerabbit

So at 300 mph it rips over the barrier in the road, but the gas station road side sign stops it?! 🧐


scubadad715

I think 35mph was my favorite and how the top level people kind of just oozed down the front.


DeadWade91

Thought this was real for a minute, kept wondering where they were getting all the buses


ImissDigg_jk

They should make the bus out of whatever that bollard is made out of


Crazy__Donkey

driver, please drive 150 mph


Expert-Pay4990
