Being involved in a car crash is no laughing matter, at least not for most people. But for one woman on TikTok, who miraculously survived a potentially deadly crash, the moment didn’t seem all too serious.
The video posted by Jazz has almost 17 million views on TikTok. In it we can see that the car is literally upside down with her inside. Jazz is hanging from her seat, thankfully she was wearing her seatbelt which more than likely saved her life.

The most shocking part about the whole video however is the fact she’s so nonchalant about the whole thing. She even states that she hasn’t called anyone yet, which means that her first instinct upon nearly dying was to record the situation.
Gen Z are “tough as nails”
That’s hilarious but also terrifying. Jazz does admit that she thinks she may be in shock, which could explain why she is being so calm about the whole situation. But even so, viewers expressed concern over Jazz’s decision to make a video rather than get help first.
Many chalked it up to her being Gen Z, “this is the future of our country. I’m so worried about Gen z and their obsession with content creation is so worrisome.” Another person added some pretty sound advice: “it is better to call an ambulance and THEN make a tik tok.” This is just another classic case of the different generations dunking on each other, a regular occurrence in most spaces of the internet. Regardless, the video serves as an excellent example of why wearing your seatbelt is so important.
Not everyone saw Jazz’s choice to record in a negative light however, one viewer wrote, “This generation is so unintentionally tough as nails,” while another joked, “This generation, can take a car crash on the chin but can’t touch microfiber towels or tolerate loud noises or make phone calls.”
How did the crash even happen?
Jazz gives a bit more context behind the viral video in a follow-up post. The crash occurred when she was 16 and a “pretty fresh, new driver,” she also admits that she was going pretty fast on a curvy road which is never really a good idea. Jazz apparently lost control and from that point there was really nothing she could do.
After surviving the crash she was able to crawl out the window and call her boyfriend to pick her up. Thankfully she also confirmed that she was able to walk away with no major injuries either. While some may label Jazz as careless or irresponsible for not taking the situation seriously you can’t deny her response to the near fatal crash was pretty iconic.
