Woman drives away from gas pump with hose still attached

When you think about dangerous jobs that require quick reflexes and courage, gas station attendant likely isn’t the first occupation to pop to mind.

But working beside the pumps means that you have to be on guard, as drivers apparently have a troubling habit of taking off too early, while the gas nozzle is still stuck in their car.

Recent surveillance video from an Anhui gas station shows one brave attendant tried to prevent disaster as a white SUV started driving away with the gas hose still attached.

The woman reached out to try to pull the hose out just in the nick of time, but was unsuccessful and was instead sent sprawling to the ground while the fuel dispenser itself was also sent toppling over, fortunately not on top of her.

According to a Knews report, the attendant dislocated her shoulder in the incident. Meanwhile, police said that the woman behind the wheel of the SUV was new to this whole driving thing.

Though you might think this is just a one-off incident, surveillance footage from a Henan gas station was shared online last wee, showing the very same thing happening:
