#3: We had a dog like that (a little overweight and a lot retarded). Named him Bozo. Walked with his head tilted down like a cow. If you threw a treat to him, it would just hit him in the face and he'd look around the floor for it. Great dog.
likely the steering wheel crushed his chest, the roll bar didn't do much. I had a neighbor die that way, pulling a log. He hooked the chain up higher than the axle, too. John
#10 One thing a farm boy learns quick. Never be flying up a hill and slam on the brakes of a tractor. Especially an ol Alis Chalmers tricycle front end. I did that just once. That front end was straight up in the air and came so close to going over then down she came. I was lucky. There was a barbed wire gate almost at the top of the hill and in the sun it looked open. I got right on it and was flying when I saw she was closed.
#9 looks like Hood River, The Gorge. Became the location to sailboard back in the 90s. Well short of Hokeepa in Hawaii . I started sailboarding in late 70s when they first came out. There was only the Wind Surfer brand, two models and wooden booms. By early 80s the sport had progressed light years, something new each month in Wind Surfer magazine. Man i could tell stories for hours.
#10 The chain is attached too high up. The tow bar is below the centre line of the rear axle, if the chain was attached there then that wouldn't have happened.
I was driving to work in Nashville. Big traffic at the 440/40 split. The car in front of me slammed on the brakes and rear ended the car ahead of him. I slammed on the brakes and barely avoided rear ending the car ahead of me. The car behind of me veered into the right lane, taking out the car to the right of me and the car approaching him in that lane. The front bumper shroud of that car ended up on my hood. The car to the left of me slammed on the brakes and two rear end collisions took out three cars. I was surrounded by eight cars in various stages of serious damage, looking at a bumper shroud. I removed the shroud, backed up, and left.
Something similar happened in Austin, when I lived in Texas. Sometimes, you get lucky as shit.
7,8, need to be put in hospital for a few months and leave with lasting painful injuries.
ReplyDeleteMake that 6 and 8
ReplyDeleteMaybe just one month in the hospital for 7 would suffice.
DeleteWhy is #5 not in the "I'm sure she's taken, men" list???

DANG ! # 10. Looks like the hood got him right in the neck area. Messed him up real good

ReplyDeleteWhisky Tango Foxtrot on #6? Anyone care to interpret this?
ReplyDeleteShe saw that her purse in her car was about to get ripped off so she jumped through the window to protect it.
DeleteThief tried to get into her car from opposite side, either to steal her purse or to drive off if the keys were in it.

#10 tow strap hooked to the top link instead of drawbar
ReplyDelete#8 The two tier system of justice in America. One creates all the chaos breaking laws, everyone else is screwed and they scanter away unscathed.
ReplyDeleteCrap #2 looks exactly like the accident that cost me my left leg. I was the guy on the bike and it was a 72 Duster not a minivan.Yikes.
