can you do one if you have a baby with you?
FOR THE BIRDS…….
A good friend of mine found herself trapped in her car last week submerged in a flash flood. I’m still in disbelief over it all. Sadly she didn’t make it, but I’m doing my best to educate myself on what to do if I were in her shoes. Thank you for these tips. I wish I could’ve shared them with the people I love sooner
I can’t imagine how she must have felt. RIP Makayla 🌻💛
Wearing a life jacket when driving.

Its happining today
I know I'm not posting on the right video. Matt Gutman is not in the wrong for correcting himself, I think ABC should talk to matt as to what other grounds they suspended him after he corrected himself.
THIS IS REDICLIOUS
OH MY GOD!!!
I don't at all
Like I don't like flash floods
nice car ngl
Now show us the escape when the car is upside down & you have 2 kids in carseats
Was this meant to be erotic? Cuz Matt really turned me on in this one for some reason. Maybe cuz he was soaking wet?? I dunno….😂🤣🤣 Turn Around Dont Drown
I think the message here is to be mindful of your situation because the best way to manage risk is to see it as it emerges, and respond proactively by prioritizing first, whenever an emergency does arise. Good message!
That’s why you drive slow so you don’t flood your engine or die idiots
Thank you for sharing this educational possible life saving video.
Thank you guys soo much for making this video
so you should be driving around with life jacket on and safety harness on car ?
But what are you suppose to do if you can't swim? Learn quickly I guess
Thank you for your time spent on this well done video. I found this information helpful
See now I want to do it
you can’t take “safety precautions†in a flash flood so this “ example “ they made is not accurate , next video pls
What about a mom who would have small children and or infants in the car with her.
At 2:24 he said "you don't want to do at home" i am lost people ðŸ¤â€
What if this guy doesn't know to swim
water would NEVER be sucked into the exhaust you idiots. it gets sucked in the air filter.
that's why 4WD's have a snorkel
Matt is a young guy and has all his faculties. I'm a 72 year old woman who is handicapped. What advice would you have for me? I do know how to swim. But it's a matter of will my legs work!
Not gonna lie, that looked fun af 😂
Won’t my phone be water logged so out of service?
Thats crazy! Prayers for you all. I live in CA we only worry about earthquakes n planes falling
Matt is cool 😎 dude for doing that.
Matt was showing off for Gayle
If the car is traveling in the same direction and you jump off the back, aren't you on danger of the car overtaking you?
I like info like this.
Don't drive through standing water.
This brings back depressing memories of this girl I followed on twitter, she was updating us on hurricane Harvey unfortunately she and her family tried to escape but drowned on a flash flood.
Best way to escape a flood is to drive through it and search for dry land or just wait for the water to dry up. If that doesn't work call Jake from State Farm.
What if you can’t ðŸÂŠâ€Â♀︠😱😱😰
Matt looks great in a wet t-shirt
what are you supposed to do if you can't swim????
THAN YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THIS IMPORTANT INFORMATION.
REALLY APPRECIATE TO EVERYONE
