An out of control hose triggers a series of catastrophic events, reminiscent of horror flick Final Destination, in the new ad for insurance brand Allianz.

After a dad washing his car loses control of the hose it smashes windows, ruins electricals and makes an ice-cream van plough into a parked car.

The ad ends with the company’s tagline “Aaaaaa…llianz insurance”.

Mercer Bell is the insurer’s agency of record.
