This short video clip shows why it’s a bad idea to get your car washed with a Liebherr R9800 Excavator.

If you’re curious, the shovel has a capacity of 42 cubic meter (which when filled with water, is equivalent to 42 metric ton or oh, about 92,500 lb). Explains the end result, doesn’t it?

Saved from a Car Wash

Stephanie Carpluk of Easthampton, Massachusetts was at work at the Golden Nozzle car wash Sunday when her scarf became entangled in the spinning machinery. She lost consciousness as the scarf tightened around her neck. John O’Leary, whose car was moving through the wash, jumped out and cut the scarf with his pocket knife.

The next thing Carpluk remembers is waking up in the arms of a stranger who was encouraging her to breathe.

“I started hearing little things like, ‘You’re breathing. You’re going to be alright. You’re back. Just stay with me, stay with me,’” Carpluk said.

After cutting Carpluk free from the scarf, O’Leary administered CPR until she began breathing again.

Carpluk is recovering from severe bruising. Link -via Arbroath
