Quoted: https://amp.dispatch.com/amp/4210482001?utm_campaign=snd-autopilot&__twitter_impression=true A dropped credit card is believed to be responsible for an accident in a Downtown parking garage that left a woman dead. Around 5:40 a.m. Tuesday, police were called on a report of an unresponsive woman at a parking garage on Vine Street, near the Arena District. The woman had been found by a security guard with her head stuck between her vehicle and the exit toll booth of the garage. According to police, the incident was captured on security cameras in the garage and happened around 11:30 p.m. Monday. The video showed the woman attempting to pay for her parking as she was leaving the garage when she dropped her credit card. The woman is seen on the video reaching down to pick up the credit card and accidentally stepping on the accelerator in her vehicle. The vehicle moved forward, causing the woman's head to become trapped between the car and the toll booth. The woman was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics. Her name has not been released. Dead is pretty unresponsive. |

That is Darwinish but I don't believe it's far fetched that it couldn't have happened to many others attempting the same thing. Kind of just some terrible luck.

An older guy did that at a drive thru restaurant. Dropped his change and opened the door slightly to pick it up. Stepped on gas while turning the wheel slightly toward the wall and sandwiched his head in the door. I was first on scene but there was nothing to be done.

Earlier this summer I was mowing around one of my apple trees on my zero turn...Done this thousands of times, however for some odd reason this time, when I ducked to miss a huge low hanging branch, and leaned slightly to the left, must have pushed the left handle back just enough that the zero turn actually spun me into the tree, and pinned my neck to my shoulder on the low hanging branch making what sounded like a 4-5 .22 shots going off.. Scared the fuck out of me... My neck was stiff for a few weeks, but she's all good now.. To be fair, These trees are at the back of my property, so I average about 2-3 beers per acre when mowing, so I was the better part of a 12 pack deep when this happened.. Now I just do all the trees, and obstacles first, and than start to drink my beers and make pretty lines...

Yeah, kinda crazy. I can't see why she didn't put it in park, though. Whenever I have to open my door the first thing I do is put the car in park. ETA: Now I'm REALLY sad after seeing her pic.

Quote HistoryQuoted: The guy that played Chekov in the new Star Trek movie died in a similar fashion. No shit, I forgot all about that. From his wikipedia page: On June 18, 2016, when he failed to arrive at a rehearsal, Yelchin was found by friends just before midnight pinned between his Jeep Grand Cherokee and a brick pillar gate post[33] outside his house in Studio City, Los Angeles, the victim of what was described as a "freak accident".[34][35] As Yelchin got out of his car and went to check his locked gate and mail, the vehicle apparently rolled back down his driveway, which was on a steep incline, and trapped him against the pillar and a security fence. Yelchin was pronounced dead at the scene on June 19, 2016, at the age of 27;[36] the Los Angeles County Coroner's office identified the cause of death as "blunt traumatic asphyxia" and stated that there were "no obvious suspicious circumstances involved". |

The worst story was the Asian couple trying to park a mini van in a parking garage stall. Iirc, dad was behind, mom backing up with head out window. Wall takes her head off, van accelerates and squishes dad against Wall. Their young daughter was in the back seat.

But Bill Jr, he was a DAAAREDEVIL, just Like his old man. He was leaning out saying "Hey everybody, Look at me! Look at me!" Pow! He was decapitated! |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Why is this funny?? Because some people are assholes? That was someone's daughter, and some of the jackasses here are hee hawing over it. I almost ran over myself once. Jumped out of the truck to open a gate, and I forgot to put it in park, I turned around right before my own truck hit me in slow motion. Even smart people can get careless, forgetful... or do stupid stuff, especially when in a hurry. My truck could have killed me easily. I was a 2 seconds from getting hit/run over/pinned/dragged (gods knows what could have happened). I was able to jump out of the way and put the truck in park. |

From the story, it's just someone that was careless with their automobile. On, the other hand, now I know it's prudence and not paranoia, when I shift into park in such situations. |
