the handle that is attached to the interior of most cars above the window of the passenger seat. when riding with a dumbass driver, or haulin' ass through or around rush hour traffic, the oh shit handle becomes very convenient for whoever's riding shotgun.
oh shit handles should be used with a little caution, as one's hands could become one with the oh shit handle, and as unfortunate and unlikely as it seems you must first have your dick welded to a rock to have it removed.

The handle or bar conveniently across or on top of the restraint in a thrill ride or roller coaster, commonly referred to as the " oh shit handle" as it is what you yell when the car takes a sharp drop or turn.
