Maybe he thought the car was only going 30 kmh.
Girlfriend said the guys friend said he was going 30 MPH, KMh. that is of course, second hand and no one knows for certain, but regardless of speed, what would possess on to jump from a moving car?
The thread title hints at the plural form of people with the word stupidity following it.
If there were an apostrophe before the s, it would imply the stupidity as possessed by people.
Any time someone wants to slag people as being stupid, they should carefully check what they wrote so as not to include themselves within the group they are slagging.........unless english is a "second language" and not the primary language of the poster.
not sure if youve noticed on the bbs... proper spelling is only knit picked by a few. and even those few only do it rarely. correct? Yes, I am an EMT, yes one would "hope" I know my grammar in my "mother" tongue, being American, but no there is nothing saying I
need to spell properly on an informal open discussion board, correct? In my run reports youre damn right I spell check and grammar nazi and have my partner(s) look it over make sure I didnt miss anything or mis spell anything. Difference between my license to practice medicine and the reputation of an ambulance service I represent when lawyers are involved as opposed to when im typing where no one will ever pass me in the street and know who i am, correct?
No, you always remember certain events, no matter what happens. For me, my absolute worst event was being on site after a very simple low speed accident. The problem with it was one of the drivers was a pregnant woman who decided to wear her seat belt too high and the abrupt stop gave her a spontaneous abortion.
Please, if you see a pregnant woman, tell her to wear the seat belt properly.
this is true, however I have met many members of ems where big events such as that dont affect them, such as my father. back in the 80's he went to a MVC and when he opened the back door a ladies foot rolled into his hands. never strayed him and he got over it. hes also seen brains splattered and poles in the front and out the back of a head. My dads father served in WWII as a Medic for Patton, he never spoke of the things he saw. Different events affect different people differently.
This crap will get very old very fast...."You ain't seen nothing yet". sorry to say... Good luck, don't take it home with you. I've had blood all over me from the actions of stupid people. Ya gotta let it go.
very aware of this, being the first "major" call one could say, mesmermized at the sheer stupidity some people have. Last summer I was at an accident (didnt have my EMT license, but did have a first responder cert), drunk guy was thrown a good 100' from his car after taking out two telephone poles. at the time I was 17, and for many people (least where I am) it would be more then enough to have seen his face, let alone the rest of him.
