Tuesday, June 23
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

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.

"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."

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.
