A mother is recalling the terrifying moment she was scalped when her long hair got caught in a car’s fan belt. Alon Abare, who now wears a wig to cover her injuries, was checking on a mechanical problem in her car in October 2016, when she leaned into the hood, catching her hair in the belt. “I just without thinking reached in and when I did so my hair got caught,” the mother of four told Inside Edition. She yelled for help and her children came to try and get her out. #InsideEdition
This woman's life has been irreparably changed all because she didn't pin her hair back her long hair back before she worked on her car now. Her story is a warning to every woman, especially those who consider themselves handy around cars and recog. Liana has a report, and we should warn you. Parts of it are very graphic. This woman is hiding a secret under her wig. Underneath is just me, a LAN, a bear. A mother of four was scalped when her long hair was caught around a fan belt, as she leaned into the hood to check on a mechanical problem I just without thinking reached in and when I did so. My hair got caught your children smashed right into action. You, yes, I did, and one by one they came running out to help that was it. Sammy was right here in 30 seconds, he shot the car right off. Her son Sam showed us how he turned off the engine and her daughter, Logan cut her hair free with these scissors. They were focused and they were driven by. I think you know that they wanted to save their mom. Doctor Kaman slaughter has been treating Ellen's injuries at the Williams Center for plastic surgery in Albany New York. One of the issues is that you have a lot of skin that we essentially have to remove. Once we get that healed up, then we can do a transplant surgery and get your hair back to where it was until then she hides her injuries under the wig. I can put my wig on and I can go out and seems like nothing changed. I guess having that I'm the same and to show how quickly it can happen. We teamed up with auto safety, expert Lauren fix and placed a wig on this mannequin. Here we go, then we eased it under the hood in the blink of an eye. The mannequin is scalp, just like what happened to Ellen's hair. The wig is totally entangled in the fan belts, I'm using my full force. It really is unbelievable to see how tight this is wrapped around the belt. So what can you do? The most important thing is you pull your hair back whenever you work on a vehicle, so let's do that right now, if you're thinking you're looking for a leak, you want to put your hands back, take off anything, that's going to potentially get in the way. If you're replacing a head, lighter your you know, changing an air filter shut the vehicle off vital lessons to avoid a tragedy like this. You

Cameron Gray: “Her son Sam showed us how he turned off the engine” Well good thing he did that demonstration otherwise we would have absolutely no idea how he could have turned off the engine!
jone: *"So kid, how did you turn off the engine"* "Uh... Normally?" *"Can you demonstrate that for our viewers?"* "Bu-" *"Just do it."* "Ok"
Zadok's Studio: Beautiful how her children jumped in to save their mom cooperatively and timely. Amazing!
Snipes Vr: Who the heck doesn’t turn their car off when something goes wrong my dad turns his car off when his engine fails
Lily Henderson: I feel so sorry for her
Patrick Bush: In 1973 I had extremely long hair. My ponytail became entangled in a drill pass. It rip off almost my whole entire scalp I've been almost through 132 operations. I was only seventeen when this happened. I went from one of the most popular people into a freak. I know you've heard of face transference I now have a new head of hair. But I went to 20 years of isolation and humiliation. No matter what your disfigurement. Hold on there's help behind the next corner of your life. Peace be strong we love you
rizze: Must've been terrifying for the children, on top of that they have to bear the sight of their mom in pain & bleeding until help arrives. Amidst all that they stayed attentive and were able to save their precious mom's life. Bless them. ❤️❤️❤️
Random Vids: “This is a warning to all women with long hair” I’m a boy with long hair. Edit: I love how they were a whole bunch of people arguing in the replies.
Devin Ballard: I'm so happy that she's ok and that her kids were able to get their mom out of danger
gayle mc: After seeing their mom they had the presence of mind to do the right thing. Remarkable family. This woman is beautiful inside and out.
zev sarachan: Her: "She got scalped bc she didn't tie her hair back" Also Her: "Any women watching..." Men with Long Hair:
Elizabeth Houghton: This woman is so brave . I hope she is ok now
MannyBot -DEAF-: My grandfather had owned and run his own Automotive Buisness since my dad, the youngest son of three, was a child. One of his non negotiable rules is all staff with mid to long length hair, male or female, must have it tied up at all times. You enter the shop without your hair up, you better be ready for a _looong_ and well deserved lecture lol That lesson has always stuck with me though.
Uwuquelie ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ: I’m proud for her kids and pray for her ✨
Glass Half Full: I can't get over how Beautiful she is! I can look at her face and tell she has a good heart. I truly hope the hair transplant will be successful. I hope even more that she'll have happiness and joy throughout the rest of her life.
Greg Harris: There is absolutely no reason to hide your head with a wig. Your a beautiful young woman. God bless you with the transplant
Carla Flaute: Great kids who love their mom♥️Congratulations you have two wonderful kids that I’m proud of. I’m also grateful you did not loose your life. Blessings and prayers for you and your family ♥️
Ink_Blot67: Oh my dear god. The pain must have been excruciating. I can’t even begin to understand what that might have been like…also, the kids were wonderful.
Arabian: This is the kind of News that is actually News worthy. Information like this is very informative and potentially life saving for a lot of people.
Rachel: Those kids were raised right! Props to them!
CranberryFo: Honestly, I'm really glad I watched this. I have pretty long hair myself, pretty much waist length. And this is something that very easily could happen to me. I don't think I would have thought to make sure of. I'm definitely going to make sure I keep this in mind now whenever I next need to work on my vehicle.
It’s Lynn: I’m surprised that her kids really saved her from that quick thing!!! I would’ve done the same!!!!
Sara Castillo: Awesome job kids!!!! So proud of you for not panicking ♥️
Bria: Its 2020. I really hope she got the surgery to get her hair back
Mommy and The Tots Vlogs: I hope she recovers quickly! How traumatizing for her!!
Takipatuni Ilangana: That's so sweet helping children save their mom
Biomechannibal: Way to go kids. I was 14 playing, in a pole barn with my friend Zack, when a girl who had been riding a 4-wheeler in the adjacent field cornered too hard and flipped herself into a tree with the 4-wheeler on top of her. When it's not you in direct danger, adrenaline has an amazing way of clearing the mind, and you can do some pretty incredible things when you're scared.
Angelous 777: My prayer for this beautiful mom to get the help she needs and a big applause to those kiddos for helping their mom. God bless
Min Tootsie: I learnt when I was very young to always tie my hair back in case there was EVER a chance of injury. Sad this lady didnt.
Cat Paws: I loved the recreation of turning the car off and the use of the scissors. I never could have imagined how they did those two things. Thank you.
Remnant Few ministries ministry: This is crazy. I am so sorry tjis happened to her and I pray she continues to heal. A good warning . Be smart and safe ladies.
aaron dg: This kid heroically shows u how he turned off the car Kid: *turns key*
Smiles2U4Ever: THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS VIDEO! YOU POTENTIALLY SAVED MANY PEOPLE FROM A TRAGEDY LIKE THIS! I NEVER REALLY THOUGHT ABOUT IT WHILE CHECKING UNDER THE HOOD OF MY CAR. I HAVE LONG HAIR AND THIS COULD EASILY HAVE HAPPENED TO ME! SO SORRY THIS HAPPENED. THANK YOU MS. ABARE FOR COMING FORWARD AND BRAVELY SHOWING US WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU. YOU UNDOUBTEDLY HELPED PEOPLE FROM THIS SAME TRAGEDY. BLESS YOU! BLESS YOU!
Crystal Rice: Sending you love and prayers from Canada, your a beautiful strong woman and your a wonderful mom to have such brave and calm kids in the face of an emergency, hope your transplant goes beautifully and that this never happens again, I use ponytails with pins for bob length hair and braids in a bun when my hair is longer then my shoulders either way shoved into a beanie (skin tight jean cap that looks like a diving cap) if I’m doing any work myself, hope that helps in future , also wear short sleeves, no gloves. No jewelry.
Megan McCrea: I've never been able to have long hair. I've been trying to grow my hair out long for my entire life. This to me is like the horror story of horror stories.
Toma Hawk: Special Thank You to All her Helpful Kids who've Saved their mother's life on that fated day!
Poodloo: Man, those kids would make great friends if they knew what to do and did it so quickly. I’m proud of them.
F YouTube F YouTube: THIS IS ONE OF THOSE MOMEMTS WHERE "SHOULD OF STAYED IN THE KITCHEN" ACTUALLY FITS♀
milachyc88: Poor woman, God bless her heart ❤️
J. N.: A beautiful woman with a beautiful family. I get freaked out when people see my cancer scars, my friends all told me to treat it like badges of survival. It didn't set in for me, and I empathize if she doesn't either. That young doctor also has a good heart, he seems young, hopeful and talented - Blessed on every count, keep living - move forward. Life is good, and tomorrow is always worth it.
NaviTalksAlot: That's so sad... May God bless those children for saving their mother.
StormNeedsSleep: Imagine just looking at your mortar and then the next second half of your hair is ripped off it’s scary to think about!
Boricua: You ' re a courageous woman. I imagine it's not easy but just carry on for your children . May God bless you always and your family.
K Debris: I got into a go kart accident and something similar happened to me, you’re still beautiful girl and hope god has blessed you and your family❤️
MLPJBJ Formerly Reaper: So brave of her to openly show others what could happen. She may have saved other woman by letting people know about it.
Norm Ross: I pray that you fully heal.You go girl.
Moon Stars Show: Can we just talk about how brave those kids were? They didn’t full on panic but instead went right to action
Ador Dorath: Thank you for the warning with this video. As a real metal fan I have to watch out for my long hair too...
Dan R: I wonder if anyone else felt the pain seeing the fan belt spinning as she described the incident even worse when they reenacted it the scene with the manikin . Glad she's ok and it didn't affect other vital parts like eyes or eyelids.
vClowney: I hope this woman ends up getting her hair back and lives a happy life!!!!
Annie Wilson: love how everyone’s surprised the kids sprung into action *wouldn’t we all*
X6800: This is one of my fears. Not so much of hair being pulled into something, but like a scarf and being choked to death.
Mary Abbate: “They wanted to save their mom” I think any decent person in that situation would
True Crime Queen™: Thankfully her kids were able to rush to her aid!! Be safe everyone!!
Cathy: Did they really have to show us how the son switched the car off?
Gel: I hope by now she's completely healed...I feel so bad for her♡
Pepper: I wish her the best and lots of health and happiness and love
John J. Rambo: Amazing! I would have never known he turned the key to stop the engine! Like wow! glad they demonstrated this remarkable technique
stephanie geer: I can see this happening to me. I will definitely be more careful
Snyper1188: Wow. I hope she is able to get back to somewhat normal. I know a guy with long hair that this happened to, and it was similar results to this unfortunate woman. He is doing well now, and keeps his hair short!!
SuperBlueRock: That’s insane. While everyone is making jokes about the most insignificant part of the video, I’d say this was a good video. It makes me more aware because I never tie my hair back when working on my car. Cuz i didn’t know that could happen. But now I do because of this video. Wow. Just wow. I wish her a speedy and healthy recovery.
JM The Composer: This makes me wonder what would have happened if her car had a pushbutton start, and her kids only learned to drive in older cheap cars with key ignitions. In an emergency situation where people easily panic, it could be disaster. But realistically, we'll eventually have a generation of kids who don't know how to start a key ignition any better than they can read an analogue style wall clock.
Johanna Luther Petersen: Amazing Kids what a blessing for her
drux claps: When it snatched the mannequins hair, I jumped too
Ara G.: God bless to her children for acting very fast to save her their mother.
Nadia K: When I was younger I had like really long hair and my mum always told me to put it up but I never understood why now that I'm older I'm thankful that my mum cared.
Nissan Skyline: Idk if that doctor is just super young or if he ages really, really well but I'm impressed either way. I hope I can pass for being in my late teens to early 20s when I hit my 30s and 40s.
evan jones: What an amazing family they love there mom
†: *auto safety expert* "Tie your hair back" "Turn the vehicle off" lmao
Zadok's Studio: Her children will help her through this ordeal. They’re brave.
D Styles: Thank god they demonstrated these safety precautions. I wouldn’t understand them if they didn’t.
The Light: I feel terrible for her, can you imagine the pain and horror of being scalped like that?
klk1900: You wouldn’t believe how many I’ve treated. I never dreamed I would see people get scalped at a rate we’ve had the last year. Normally I see kids getting scalped. I can’t remember the last adult I had
Tyson: That's traumatic injury. I wish her the best!
pennyplaysroblox 123: OMG I feel so bad for her my cousin had experienced this and died due to major blood loss guys be careful when doing this especially for people who have long hair to prevent this make sure to tie your hair up high so you won't get badly injured and hope this helps
momof4 hopkins: I know adults that wouldn't have reacted that quickly and with such a level head. Good job guys!!!!
Julie Spanggaard: she’s actually a beautiful woman nonetheless, i hope she gets better
사랑: That’s how you know she’s a good mother. The kids snapped right into action and adore her.
Kevin Worrell: Did he turn off the engine by turning the key !?!?!?! Thank You Inside Edition for showing us exactly how that works!!
Brittany: I cant say I'm always cautious about my hair. But I can say I always grab my hair when looking into the engine because of this fear and because it gets in the way of my view. I'm sorry this happened to this young mom. I would to see her results after her hair transplants.
Sergio: No man would ever put anything near the belt, that could get stuck in it. Who does that. ♂️ I’m glad she’s okay though.
N: she did not just say “this is a warning to all women especially those who consider themselves handy around a car” wow!
KarasCyborg: This is a good reminder for people with long hair, love the manequin and the wig. I like the video where they show what happens when an electrician works on a car with a gold ring, they put one around a hotdog and make contact with a hot lead and a ground and watch the ring burn through the hotdog (stimulated finger). The other good one is when a rope gets wrapped around a manequin and pulled through a wood chipper.
Moobeus: As usual I’m so pleased with inside editions focus on making sure we know exactly what happened, the recreation of how he turned the engine of was particularly moving xD
Trace England: Even with the scar she is still beautiful it's just a part of her story
Sebastiaan Rijkens: I saw that once on a lathe at school , we and the teacher warned the girl like a million times. She didn't want to listen,she got nearly strangled by her own scarf getting stuck between the workpiece and Chuck. The lathe was shut off by a student who reacted like the flash. If he didn't we had a fatality that day.
Lizz Smith: My dad taught me since a child to always tie my hair back when helping him work on cars...I feel so bad for this woman. Hope she heals fast! Bless.
John Loxley: Just watched this ....... really lucky lady and what brilliant kids !!!! Quick thinking !!!! Like all accidents they happen in a nano second !!! Glad she was ok !!!
kfor47: I've seen several men who were killed because their TIE was caught in the fan belt. That's why you should never allow a white-collar worker (especially men) anywhere near the engine of a car.
JustA LilFunny: Can you imagine how painful that was for her omg
Kathryn Oz: Sam's enthusiastic re-enactment is appreciated! :) The reporter- not to be out done- pulling on the hair in the engine with all her might! :D
d ́buC: This is the EXACT kind of thing our wood work class teacher ALWAYS warns us about..........
Alfred Alfredo: Well done kids ❤️❤️❤️❤️
FH THE KING: MAN my goodness poor baby ❤️
Supernova: I’ve finally managed to get my hair to grow longer and just yesterday, as I was cooking, I leaned toward the stove to look at something and the very end of one side of my hanging hair touched the element. I thought about it and pulled back then smelled it. You just don’t even THINK about it! Luckily I just singed the tips off of like 5 hairs but THAT scared me enough...the idea of just losing some of my hair! THIS is plain petrifying and I’m glad I saw this...coincidentally the day after almost singing my hair off...
MysticEagle_4 (Dawn): I feel bad for the lady, this is why u should always think. My dad taught me how dangerous a running car can be. Sometimes u need it running to check something but u dont put ur hand etc near running parts. Especially the belt. I do hope this story helped bring awareness to ppl to be careful.
Definitive1: Amazing, life saving reaction from her kids. Mom should be super proud!
Tango Hendrix: I'd love to see an update on her condition, I hope she's doing well with the eventual skin grafts
FasterThanU: She got lucky! It could have been worse. I know a similar instance that happened to a mechanic who was working under the car when the transmission was in gear and the driveshaft was spinning.....his hair got to close to the spinning U-joint and you can imagine what happened next!
gia: Her face healed really well. Didn’t even think she would’ve had any injury to her face. The way the reporter tied back her hair was half assed though. Tight bun at the back of the head and I wear a wide headband to keep everything back. No way am I risking my hair in a machine. My coworkers didn’t realize how long my hair actually was at first lol
