Great fun.

There are people that own 1942 that do not have the DC patch?

Real life story of a truck falling on a guy who didn't use the right equipment:

I immediately tried to calm him down and find out if he was stable and looked for any serious/obvious bleeding (there was none). He was coughing badly and had fluid in his mouth (feared it was blood). He sounded like he was drowning on the fluid in his mouth so I grabbed a jack and started to lift the car thinking he was in serious condition. I was only able to jack the truck up about a 1/4" before he was screaming in pain for me to stop......I did. Other neighbors began to show up and try to lift the truck......by hand ..... I told them to stop several times before finally dropping the GD/F bombs a few times at the top of my lungs to get them to stop.....that worked and they backed off. The last thing I wanted to do was have those people lift the truck only to drop it on him again.... I told the guy to tilt his head and spit out anything in his mouth to keep him from choking any further.
When the cops arrived they too decided to leave everything alone until the EMT's were on site, in case the wheel well had punctured his left side, or any movement caused his condition to worsen.

After questioning him a bit to calm him down some more before they used their ballon jacks......we found out he had been trapped under the truck for almost 2 hours.
With LOTS of screaming......they lifted the truck with their ballon device and pulled my neighbor out. As I feared earlier, and the reason I did NOT let the neighbors try to pull him out without the EMT's........his conditioned worsened once he was removed.

Kinda like the people that fall infront of a subway train. They get twisted up along the side of the train, once released they die. One of those HBO reality shows followed EMTS on a couple of those calls. Nasty stuff. Terrible way to go, knowing you will die once you're released.

Gunther, he is refering to major trauma cases where a person is pinned/crushed from the waist down or similar region. they are alive and concious but as soon as the car/train whatever is removed they almost immediately die from organ/blood loss. sorta like removing a clamp from a full hose, its gonna all come out..eww
