Watch this accident...

[Neil]

Always amazed at peoples reactions to accidents etc... Keep an eye on the other pupils and the cars that pull up. Notice how many people do something, or do nothing, (or even just walk off)...

He's really lucky to survive.That looked bad.

[SymphonicX]

Stupid prick shouldn't have jumped into the path of a bus. And to be fair to the onlookers, they were also school kids, and probably had no idea what to do....he'll think twice about pissing around next to traffic next time.

[bassman]

Broke his nose and shoulder? That's it? He must've been the luckiest bastard on the planet that day...

[MinionZombie]

Looked like he went under the front wheel.

That stupid pr*ck got off light, the moron shouldn't have leapt over the railing into the traffic like a stupid utter bastard - notice how his gang of friends (who at least initially run for it) were all about to do the same thing!!! :eek:

F*cking moron got what he deserved quite frankly, I've got no time for people who piss about in the way of on-coming traffic. Clearly he'd never heard of STOP. LOOK. LISTEN. LOOK ... or however it went on that public info film.

What a total twat.

[Bub666]

That idiot will never run into traffic again.

That's what I thought. I guess maybe he just hit the front of the bus and it knocked him to the side or something?

Did he not learn anything from The Devil's Rejects?

Oh yes, some of them were kids, but not a single person got out of the cars?

That is true!

Maybe they were all thinking "f*ckin' idiot deserved it, he can just wait there for an ambulance and learn something for a change" ... perhaps?

That kid is a bloody moron.

When I was 14 (like this kid) I was involved in a hit-n-run with a van. As the van passed and I lay there in the street, screaming obscenities, and bleeding from my face (profusely), there was a line of traffic. Only one guy asked if I was okay... of course, he didn't get out of his car.

****ing hell...unreal....

Well I've already documented the incident I saw at the Big Chill festival - a land rover lost control and veered into the campsite, crushing people under the wheels....I saw at least 20 people on the scene, and 20 people ran over and helped out...some people who were far away just stood there, shocked...I ran for emergency services...and look at the 7/7 bombings...a load of people were heroes on that day....so it does happen.

Wow, what a dumb sh!t. Lucky to be alive. I bet his parents were pissed after seeing the video.

Guess it's the flight or flee reflex in a way...

And to think he wasted it getting hit by a bus... he could have played the lottery. :D

Isn't it better to be a poor bastard than a dead millionaire? :confused:

Not im my reality. A dead millionaire can have a kickass tomb to house his coffin for the rest of the time the world spins. A poor man, gets a wooden box, some cheap dirt, and possibly not even a gravestone.

But who is that for? Certainly not the dead guy. Don't get me started on the funeral industry. ( No offense Yojimbo ) The dude is dead. Yet people are convinced that iot's necessary to spend thousands of dollars, in many cases that they don't have, all for what? So they can feel better not the dead dude.

:lol:

I once told my family to throw me in a homemade wooden box and then throw it in a hole. I'll be dead. I won't care.


I'm sure there's actually federal requirements when it comes to coffins and such, though.

No offense taken, Darth. Funerals are for the comfort of the living, not the deceased.

A cardboard casket, cremation and then scattering at sea is all that I want, though you or anyone else are welcome to solid gold caskets, a dove released at the burial, bagpipes and a motorized escort and horse drawn hearse.

Like the Wedding Industry, the Funeral Industry has become big business, and unfortuantely has become dominated by conglomerates who don't give a rat's ass about "dignity" and approach each bereaved family member as if they were selling them a used car. Herein lies the issue where folks get taken advantage of, and this is truly sad.

My advice as a funeral director: choose a small, family owned funeral home and put together a will which will give specific instructions to your family as to what you want and instruct your family to go no further than what you want, and you will be fine. Stay away from the conglomerates!

Also, a side note: Bassman mentioned about the laws governing dispostion: these regulations do not come from the federal level and each state in the USA has it's individual guidelines for human remains. Some states, like Hawaii for example, are pretty laid back with regulations while others, like California where I practice, are highly regulated, nearly to the point of overregulation. I know, for example. that there are some states that require a certain minimum standard for a casket burial, whereas there are other states that do not require a casket in any way for burial.
