Watch A Car That Drove Onto A Pool Cover And Didn’t Sink
If you ever wondered how well a good pool cover works than you have to watch this video of a car drive onto a pool cover and didn’t sink. We are not sure how or why the woman crashed through the fence and onto the pool but, she probably owes her life to a very strong pool cover.
Pool owners know that they have to cover their pools in the offseason to keep everything out of it from leaves to creatures and even little people. Who would have ever thought that the pool cover would keep cars out of the pool?
We have a backyard pool in our house and the previous owners bought a very expensive and strong cover for it. It’s the kind that you need extra hands to set up at the end of the season. It weighs close to 80 pounds rolled and dried up. Fortunately we have a great pool company that comes with a large enough crew to both open and close the pool.
I once asked the guys that were covering the pool at the end of the summer season how strong the cover was in case someone were to accidently fall or walk on it. They told me that an elephant could walk across it and not fall in. That sounded like hyperbole to me at the time but, now that I have seen this video, I’m convinced that perhaps a small elephant might be able to do just that!
Here’s the story and video
Whoever manufactures this pool cover makes a very fine product. Some woman in Georgia drove her Toyota Corolla through a fence and into a community pool. But the pool cover held, so the car didn’t sink. A cop smashed out a window and got her out. It’s still not clear why she crashed, but it sounds like she’s okay.
