He immediately jumps out of the way and then helplessly watches it falling from the slope and flipping over before crashing onto the road below.

Netizen ‘Ming Feng’ shared the footage on Douyin – which is what TikTok is called in China – saying: “It is too late to say goodbye, even if there are all kinds of reluctance and helplessness. Thank you for giving me warmth when I was most helpless in the past 15 years, thank you for accompanying me.”

The man was not hurt in the incident and he reportedly sold the damaged vehicle after the accident.

The video garnered several comments on Douyin, such as from netizen ‘Your uncle is always your uncle’, who wrote: “You pulled the handbrake on a slope. But also remember to put stones under the wheels.”

While ‘Flower head duck’ wrote: “Brother, thumbs up for your quick reactions!”

And Douyin user ‘Strong’ commented: “The gears should have been locked, it is foolish to rely only on the handbrake.”
