Wow - she was lucky. If that bumped her a$$ when she was bending over she would have gotten run over. The door opening at the last second providing her with something to run into was insult to injury.

Freakin lucky isn't the term. Man if she didn't turn around that would have been one of those faces of death vids. The door at the end was absolutely sheer awesomeness.
That said my wife did almost the same thing. She pulled into our carport and was talking on the phone. Got out of the car, walked into the house still talking on the phone. I was on the couch. All of a sudden about two minutes later we hear this big crash. Yep the car rolled out the carport and down the driveway smacking the house across the street. She forgot to put the car into gear and the e-brake on. Manual car. Thank God no kids were around. And luckily for us the car hit the concrete foundation and not the framework of the two story house. Kathy wouldn't look at me for a week..The car hit in such a way that it literally bent the car in the middle and crushed the exhaust up into the bottom of the car. I actually drove the car to the dealer auto body shop where they totaled it. Front wheel drive cars are great.....And people wonder why I won;t let her drive the Cobra.

LOL, you guys are funny. It's hard to tell from the low res video, but she certainly looks, "hittable" Nice looking bod at least. Leg's don't look too bad as she's laying on the pavement essentially "out cold".

Video looks bogus to me - the car starts moving too fast, starts veering to the wall, then away from the wall. The door slams shut, then somehow flies open as soon as the car passes her.
I'm throwing the BS flag - but I'd probably still hit it.

I really doubt that video is staged. There is just no way someone would risk their life like that, and purposely phuck up a nice MB E Class.

Hell, I had virtually the same thing happen to me. '68 ford fairlane wagon (i.e. big!). Parked it on one side of the street facing uphill with wheels turn away from curb and the e-brake handle broke. Crazy car started rolling backwards and went up onto the curb and back off (so much for turning tires away). I was walking downhill away from it, damn thing started sneaking up on me like a psycho ninja nutjob! Engine was running (manual car) and thank God for the muffler which was barely hanging on, sounded like a fat kid running after a cupcake. Or a speed walking zombie. Turned around and was just able to sidestep out of the way, although the wagon still tried to get me by pinning me against the side of a parked car as it lumbered past me. Grabbed the handle and heard the fairlane start laughing as it picked up speed and virtually dragged me down the street. Yeah, I was laughing as well... or wailing incoherently. Was able to open the door and hop inside just as it lightly hit a toyota car parked on the other side of the street. A fairlane lightly hitting a toyota also means that the toyota was pushed up on the the sidwalk, both curbside tires bent under the car, front end crunched it, no doors would open, etc. Poor fairlane had a cracked tail light. Devil car...

We need video...then we can debate whether Rob would still be willing to hit you!
