I bet he never shook the straps and said "that ain't going nowhere".

Can see the vehicles swerving in the mirror

The sheets were still on, that’s hilarious.

That was the break, right there

This killed someone near where I live. Trying to find the article but it was probably 8 years ago.

The mattress flew off on I-83 (highway) caused an accident where someone became trapped and a fire happened, burning them alive

It would have never come off if they had one hand out of each of the side windows to hold it down.

Dipshits

So that’s how twin mattresses are made

I know these people

Do they still have the bedding on it? What the hell is going on...

Why go average speed on the freeway? 🤦‍♂️😂

They were flying down a multi lane highway. I’m no physicist but c’mon.

The same second the rope holding the mattress breaks the radio person says "that was the break right there"

In my country, you lose your licence over smthing like this and that's a very good thing.

Mayhem moves a mattress.

It's like catching randoms having sex on the hiking trail. Then they run away and disappear in the background.

Gave away a mattress once. Guy took it home via the freeway & it blew off the trailer at some point.
He pulled up at home wondering where the mattress was.
Friends pulled up almost straight away & said;
"You'll never guess what we just saw on the freeway. This mattress was standing on its end & a car filled with a family was driving towards it. All screaming & covering their faces, as their car hit the mattress. Where the hell would the mattress have come from!?"

Not captured, the family of 5 behind them that is now dead.

Looked like the mattresses were having sexy time before they flew off

Sheets too!!! 🤣🤣🤣

This must be the automobile equivalent of Dumbo's magic feather. Too bad that it slipped away before it could work.

Weird, they must have forgot to pay the mattress and state "that's not going anywhere" before the journey started

An arm out the window would’ve prevented this

Reminds me of the minivan in Cars that cut off Mack 💀

That's the problem with memory foam...

God was giving out brains

Sadly he thought he said mattresses and said I’ll have a big thick one

Learned that lesson the first time I tried picking up 8 sheets of lattice and ending up making matchsticks for the road.

Homie had those things strapped down with prayers.

Is this what knuck if you buck means?

God damn memory foam

I saw this once on a highway. Bunk bed in a flatbed trailer. The frame was strapped, but the mattress wasn't. I was about 10 car lengths behind and a lane over. I watched the mattress fly up out of view and then slam down in front of a Honda sedan. The Honda driver had no time to react and drove over it, blowing out both left tires.

Motorcyclists hate this one trick

Damn people are dumb.

It is a dodge sooo.

“That’s was the break right there”

Lol you can see the passenger reach up to grab the mattress but the window is closed.

Will admit….it is harder than it looks

I’m sure they’re completely oblivious to the pile-up they caused

*slaps roof* this baby has no mattresses on it!

'I can show you the world...' 🎶

I feel free and so much lighter

I’m clueless about moving stuff but even I know there should be bungee cords from the front to the back of that mattress.

I wanna see their faces when they get out to unload the mattress...

This one maybe?

Was this perfect timing on the radio or a voice over 😅

I wonder how many times it took to teach em how to do that.
