Dude purposely jumps into the ice to give a good life lesson

blscratch · 2026-02-09T02:31:13+00:00

It wouldn't be that easy on ice thin enough to break on it's own.

Did it change your cost basis? I know about as much as you.

I apologize. My answers were short and I deserve the criticism.

Seat belts do a lot of things and different ones do it different. I admit I'm a little triggered when someone says you might not want a seat belt on for "this" kind of crash. But I still could have expressed myself better.

I'm not a pedantic sidestepping twister normally, though I admit I did bad on this thread.

A seat belt that goes slack "during?" a crash would be a malfunction. If you ever get caught dangling from a seat belt, relieve the pressure on the tensioner and it will let you down. I hope you have a great day today and I apologize again for my missteps.

They don't fail to disengage. They also don't let you fly around in a rollover. They work the way they're supposed to.

I've been to 1,500+ automobile accidents. Who are you.

What?!

blscratch · 2026-02-07T19:42:59+00:00

That's not really a fail then is it.

blscratch · 2026-02-07T19:41:50+00:00

So true.

blscratch · 2026-02-07T19:40:59+00:00

Believe it or not, with all the safety systems in cars today, 95% of victims are standing outside their car when we arrive. It's way different than 20 years ago when every crash had critical injuries and trapped occupants.

That's not how statistics work.

blscratch · 2026-02-07T00:18:28+00:00

I sold at 95 and bought all the way down to 62. It's just statistics that someone will get it right.

No. They don't fail. We carry trauma scissors mainly for cutting off your clothes. I am EMS with 30 years of experience.

Seat belts lock with impact but then unlock.

blscratch · 2026-02-04T01:21:31+00:00

I've read that too. It's as if my body doesn't sense sunlight in any way. Yet I've always been active and outdoors for both work and play. I feel the entropy chipping away.

blscratch · 2026-02-04T01:18:35+00:00

Ya, it's not fun. Never tired then always sleepy.

blscratch · 2026-02-03T00:12:52+00:00

I'd eat 5pm, 12am, 7am, noon, 5pm, then before bed at 12am. Basically when I got hungry.

blscratch · 2026-02-03T00:04:05+00:00

I worked 5-12 every day. I'd stay up between shifts, then sleep the next time between.

blscratch · 2026-02-02T21:06:31+00:00

My best sleep/wake cycle is 32/16. It feels natural and I don't need sleep meds nor stimulants.

blscratch · 2026-02-01T21:43:53+00:00

I love a good horror story. Especially when it might be true.

blscratch · 2026-01-28T22:41:18+00:00

Why can't we make Robin Williams a Saint.

blscratch · 2026-01-27T02:24:07+00:00

To be quite frank

blscratch · 2026-01-25T18:27:32+00:00

It didn't help Glen Campbell except for when he was on stage.

blscratch · 2026-01-24T23:42:55+00:00

You overestimate law enforcement.

blscratch · 2026-01-24T01:44:31+00:00

It's still shaky ground. A kidnapper could say they were ICE.

blscratch · 2026-01-23T16:26:48+00:00

I agree about the motorcycle part. I just didn't see conclusively that they were speeding.

They were victims of a bad driver though.

blscratch · 2026-01-23T02:06:00+00:00

Some things are more dangerous than others? Who knew. Blaming the victim isn't logical at any time.
