Watch this car wash employee expertly escape getting caught between two vehicles

Oh no.

The first day at a new job is bound to have its learning curves, but most don't include almost being smushed between two cars.

Twitter user @0ctobersVeryOwn shared a startling video of a first day working at a car wash gone awry, and I think you can already sense where this is going.

In the clip, an employee steps between two cars upon realizing that they're about to collide, but ends up almost trapped in between as they roll backwards through the facility.

Thankfully, the end of the video reveals that the employee was able to free himself from between the two cars just in the knick of time.

Hopefully the rest of his first day had fewer terrifying experiences.
