What It’s Like to Be Hit With a PIT Maneuver

What It’s Like to Be Hit With a PIT Maneuver
Spread The Viralist



There’s been a lot of reaction to the video of an Arkansas state trooper ramming into the back of a pregnant woman’s car, causing her to flip over. The controversial police technique is called a PIT maneuver, and it’s led to a number of accidental fatalities. At least 30 people have been killed in PIT maneuvers since 2016. Eighteen stemmed from minor traffic offenses. Jim Moret went to a Las Vegas road course to feel what it’s like to be on the receiving end of a PIT maneuver – and it was dizzying. #InsideEdition

  1. Pull over, it’s not a difficult concept to grasp. Pits should be implemented more imo, and hearing ‘innocent’ people dying in them is hilarious

  2. Like many tactics and resources available to US law enforcement. Most of the time unnecessary fatalities or injuries occur its because of poor training.

  3. The solution is simple: See the flashing lights, hear the woo woo woo, pull over.
    It really is that simple. Do that and no one gets to experience a PIT maneuver.

  4. Here’s a thought….pull over when you get hit with them lights and you won’t have to worry about being hit with that pit. I hope preggers loses her lawsuit 💯

  5. I have no remorse for a Pitt maneuver done to a Ford absolutely the ideal vehicle to demonstrate this😂they should have chosen a 80's Foxbody instead to ruffle some feathers.

  6. It sounds like this officer needs to be sent on a review course because, according to other reports, this woman was following the drivers manual for the state of Arkansas to the letter! She had her flashers on! She was looking for a safe place to stop! She deserves some kind of compensation.
