A woman caused widespread confusion among internet users after filming herself destroying the baby car seat installed in her vehicle after being involved in an accident.
In a video shared on her TikTok profile, Claire Maee appeared using scissors to punch holes in the upholstery and cut the safety straps of the baby car seat installed in her car.
The post has already accumulated more than 2 million views, over 50,000 likes, and hundreds of comments from internet users who were very confused about what she was doing.
In the caption, she explained that she was doing this after someone “hit her car.” Many admitted they thought she was doing it to get money from the insurance, but that was not the case.
As other users pointed out in the comments on the video, she did this to prevent the car seat from being reused after the accident, since many manufacturers recommend completely replacing the equipment after a crash.
“Imagine you are running, you fall, and your helmet takes a hit, but not a visible one. Would you still use it?” asked one TikTok user.
“It’s the same concept as throwing away your motorcycle helmet after a crash. After an impact, the structural integrity may be weakened,” noted another.
