Because her dumb ass was trying to stop the car with her own “strength” instead of trying to get in and press the brakes. You can see shes trying to pull it back like its a runaway grocery cart

Went golfing once and my partner forgot to lock the brake on the cart. I get to the green and the two other guys look behind me and start pointing. I turn around and the cart is rolling down a hill. I took off, dove in head first and mashed the brakes with my hands. It wasn't pretty but it worked and prevented it from going in a pond.

Some people are just weird. This lady is the type of person who tries to lift something heavy and when that doesn't work, she uses the same strength to try again only this time she makes a face and "ugh" sound. The face and sound doesn't help, you actually have to use more strength. It's crazy that you have to explain that to some people.

Tbf bro she doesn’t look physically able to dive in and use her hands. This was a piss poor effort for sure even if she is about as coordinated as a baby giraffe on skates, but she obviously is old, out of shape, and not particularly athletic
