This so could have been preventable and I hate that the only solace was that he was so out of it he didn’t feel any fear or pain.

I was watching one of those Hallmark movies with Jesse Metcalfe and read about he fell from a 2nd floor balcony years ago. He was very lucky he didn’t have serious injuries.

Re: the reflex posture that could have saved him - a former manager got into a car accident after drinking and the doctors told her that since her body was “relaxed” and had a delay response that she avoided serious injury than if she had tensed up (obv I know that’s not the same as reflex posture, just reminded me of it). Not sure how true that is or if she was just trying to somehow lessen her crash even though it would have never happened if she wasn’t drinking.

Like thank god I was drunk when I got into this drunk driving accident or I really could have hurt myself??? Save it.

Luckily she crashed into a ditch instead of another car/person so she almost acted like it wasn’t that big of a deal?? Idk, I’m an alcoholic myself but could never try to deflect something like that. She was a great manager but a very selfish person…she hurt a lot of people in her life and none of it had to do with alcohol. Phew, didn’t expect to slightly vent about her tonight!

No worries. I’ve had a few alcoholics like that in my life, and the extreme and purposeful disconnect on action, responsibility, and consequence is wild. When I was younger and softer, I had more sympathy. Now I’m tapped out. I’ve got nothing. Not even a half-assed “someone was watching out for you.”

I’m glad she lucked out and went into a ditch, and not into another person. I hope you’re doing okay.

I’m so sorry you have had to dealt with that in your life and you have every right to just wipe your hands clean and not waste your energy and patience with people who don’t appreciate and respect you.

And thank you 🧡 I will admit I relapsed the morning after the election; literally only had one drink but it was still one too many 😕

ilu. It's a slippery road that goes in all different directions.

[lamppost1911]

Thank you for this comment! You're not wrong.

I had a friend who got into a severe car accident unintentionally (unfamiliar road, tight turn & a puddle,) during a very depressed episode & her depression actually is credited with saving her life because she didn't care enough to tense up. It can happen.

[lamppost1911]

I can relate to that. I’m glad she survived and i hope she’s doing better.

[ghastly]

She definitely is, thank you.

I think the relaxing vs tensing thing is just a theory and not fact

[lamppost1911]

It probably just depends on the circumstances.

yeah my sis got rear ended by car in city streets, i think just about 25-30mph. but she saw it about to happen just a couple secs and tensed up holding onto car steering wheel tight and caused a lot of muscle issues for like 3mo or so

[lamppost1911]

Holy crap! I am so sorry both of you had to deal with that!!! I’ve only been in one traffic accident - we got hit from behind at a stoplight and the other driver was going so slow and nobody needed medical assistance but it felt intense, I can’t imagine being hit at those speeds.

I can’t imagine how scary that was looking back but damn, glad you reacted the way you did which ultimately saved you a lot of rehab and maybe even your life??

haha thanks dont worry about it lol. my friends tell me i need to stop talking so gleefully about a scary car accident but it all ended up in my favor. just so many things helped me not get hurt
