This customer’s car supposedly had a total brake failure causing an employee to drive onto the alignment rack and over the mechanic.

Sam, an auto shop mechanic, is lucky to be alive after a customer’s car ran him over shortly after he rolled open the repair garage’s doors.

Thanks to how he was hit and where he landed, Sam supposedly survived mostly unscathed, and it was all caught on the shop’s security cameras.

OP does not disclose what auto shop this is and where exactly it’s located, although he does sort of say it’s in Colorado somewhere.

In the security camera footage, we see Sam roll open the garage doors as the shop opens before the day.

Sam can be seen adjusting the alignment rack moments before chaos breaks loose.

Suddenly, an employee driving a customer’s Scion xA can be seen driving into the shop and onto the alignment rack, headed straight for Sam.

Sam does his best to block the path of the incoming car but can only do so much.

Sam falls in the middle of the raised alignment rack, his back slamming into a toolbox.

The Scion xA rolls over Sam, slamming into the front of the unsecured toolbox before coming to a stop.

The front of the Scion looks like it’s about to hit Sam head-on but, at this last moment, it looks like Sam slides just underneath the Scion, the bottom of the car likely coming within an inch of the top of his head.

One X user slowed down the footage and pointed out how something on the front of the Scion, what looks like a tow bar you hook up to an RV, might’ve hit the front of the tool box too, creating a gap where Sam’s head might’ve been.

And, according to someone in the know, the person driving was not a customer but was an employee, attributing the freak accident to some kind of brake failure.
