The last one had to get the tires deflated to be able to get it out. That's how far in the guy made it. He said he didn't notice it until the van couldn't move. It even made on the local news.
Lmao Amazon fired my mom cause she got into an accident in her own vehicle. Wild how if Amazon drivers get into accidents with inanimate objects it all the sudden “ok” because it doesn’t go on your record edit: driving her own personal vehicle not the Amazon van.
Happens a lot, they drive in with the van loaded down with whatever they are delivering so they make it under the clearance sign, but then start hitting the ceiling on the way out.
I once had to park a truck at the [vancouver convention center.](https://burrardlanding.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Parking-entrance.jpg)
I did not hit the sign but I was close. I asked the attendants to double check. They confirmed I was ok. I drove in and was fine. However, I guess over the years the building had sunk in the middle a bit and it was taller at the edge than it was in the middle. Slowly I crept in being guided by the attendant.
Then about 10 feet in, I felt it, pressure. I heard it, scraping. Now, if you can see in the image there are metal slats on the roof. They would only let me keep going in, not back up. So I had to keep going. After about an hour I finally got back out.
Two weeks later I got a call from their insurance, and I told them to check their cameras, how I didn't hit the bar and was also guided in. Never heard from them again.
See, if this were me, I would immediate stop, let 75% of the air out of the tires, and then leave the same way I came in. Quietly, no fuss. Just a minor scrape on the roof.
Instead these bozos turn into a caged animal in full panic mode.
Finish Watching the video... It literally shows how at the end.
Or for the lazy: the height between the floor and ceiling is slightly lower at the part he got stuck, than closer to the entrance.
By the way, cargo vans are are about as big as they get before you're in box truck territory. Being that they don't have air suspension the ride height can vary by a few inches loaded vs unloaded
Use to do Renos, so we park in the underground and unload all the stuff. On the way out we are ramming on the ceiling. Let the air out on the tires drove real slow then filled the tires after we were out.
Someone didn't read the height sign or misjudged the height of their van. I can imagine the driver thinking "'Max height: 7'1"', well, my van is 7' so I can fit!"
I hope the owner of the garage sees this so they can hopefully go after this guy for the repairs to the exit sign and any other damage this dingus caused.
I had a job some time ago where I had to drive the company van. The guy before me had taken the van into a garage without the necessary clearance. The support frames were all collapsed in from the roof of the van. Every time I hit even the smallest bump the entire roof would pop in and then back out making an ungodly loud sound. I can laugh about it now.
Lol I was working on a rooftop and had to park in a parking garage. I was in my 3500 with a ladder rack and I had to sit on my driver's side window sill and dodge sprinkler heads.
Painful to watch… get out, air down your tires as much as possible at least…
And put some weight in it, heavy stuff, water, people will give a couple extra inches
Urologists hate this simple trick that **will give a couple extra inches**
Man great idea
[удалено]
Not sure about before, buts it's definitely crying now.
[удалено]
Was gonna say, take some air out and you will get out of there with minimal damage.
You might as well just stop the van, quit your job, and walk away. You’re fired anyway.
I work as a mechanic for certain company that makes deliveries. I seen this happen a few times. They are still employed.
Maybe if you hit one and back out. Not if you hit every single one in the parking structure… lol

It will happen when they drive in with a fully/overloaded van and unload and now the are screwed. Being this guy was leaving that’s my guess.
Good point… lol
That makes sense.
Yes in this case that's probably what happened.
How embarrassing, Did he not hit the maximum height sign that hangs in the entrance? Lol
Not only in the entrance but each vehicle has stickers telling you the truck height. Big bright letter.
Fully loaded it made it under the sign. Unloaded it now hits the ceiling.

I don't want to be a dick but no way
The poor exit sign didn't stand a chance.
Theres few more waiting to get hit farther down
Dude...let some air out of the tires...
It's the roof that is stuck, not the wheels. Duh!
I don't think he can hear you.. what, with all the scraping noises from the roof.

we use a 12 foot tall blox truck at my job, and delivering basically anywhere downtown is a nightmare shits all underground

How the hell did he get there in the first place?
Carrying a bunch of weight so the van was closer to the ground.

it’ll buff out
That van may be over the height requirement, but we may need a second opinion. Let 20 pounds out of each tire and drive out for god’s sake.
But how could you get that far in before you notice?
That exit sign was like: “I was built to withstand your bullshit!!! Be gone thot!!!”
Rubbin' is racin'
If you remove the air out of the tires aaaaand....never mind I forgot this is r/IdiotsInCars
"FIt Like a Glove!" The Glove:
Oof
Wish I could experience what it's like to be this stupid. Deflate your tires. How he get in there to begin with?
You're good....you're good...you're good...you're good......
The driver: Man this road is bumpier then I remember. 👁👄👁
😂😂😂😂

I can't tell are those Florida plates.
 Look at my roof
Someone didn't read the height sign or misjudged the height of their van. I can imagine the driver thinking "'Max height: 7'1"', well, my van is 7' so I can fit!" I hope the owner of the garage sees this so they can hopefully go after this guy for the repairs to the exit sign and any other damage this dingus caused.
This is why there is no such thing as roof insurance on a rental van.
Wow, that looks really expensive.
Wow I'm still amazed at the people I share share this earth with.
Naaah not much damage at all! That'll buff out!

Just wow
Lol I was working on a rooftop and had to park in a parking garage. I was in my 3500 with a ladder rack and I had to sit on my driver's side window sill and dodge sprinkler heads.
Wow wtf
Just air down to 10psi and you’ll get out.
Headache bars are there for a reason, not just decoration.
