How about those dreams when you need to use the bathroom really bad but all the stalls have no doors or really short walls so everyone can see you and all the toilets are dirty and filled to the brim??? Need to go so bad but there are only bad options available.

Never had a dream like that, but I have dreams where I need to pee and I keep getting interrupted so I never get to go.
Side note: if I ever need to pee in a dream that means I need to pee in real life. So when that happens I start trying to wake myself up.

An underappreciated mechanic is also that your head is remarkably heavy and tends to try to pull your upper body ahead during slow falls. He might have felt, physically, like he was about to go through the window and be way worse off. It does feel that way in the kind of slow rollover that happens while offroading. Not that I'm speaking from experience... 🤐

Realistically, you'd probably try to brace yourself too. If you are falling, and you curl into a ball, then I can only imagine you've trained it for some silly sport.
Falling and extending your hand out to catch yourself is a reaction inherent in us all.

I watched a guy try to stop a forklift from hitting an aircraft.
His arm popped open. The woman I was talking to yanked her belt off, made him a tourniquet with it, and saved the dudes arm. She was a real life hero, and her immediate action (quit talking to me mid-sentence to save this guy) was inspirational.
So, lucky she was there, but yeah. People do dumb things like try to use flesh to stop metal pretty often, if there isnt time to think.

Great that the observer recorded the interaction. There was an accident where a woman plowed thru a crowd crossing the street. There was a trial and she claimed it was medication related (she was not drinking) verses just being distracted and negligent when she ran the red light. Would have been good if someone had a video of her response right after she stopped her car. (I did see one person go up to her car while the rest of us tended those who got hit, so it could have been captured if they had thought about it.)

The first DUI arrest I made was .32 which would be blackout status for most people. This guy was actually driving pretty damn well and was fairly coherent.

I worked a wreck once where an old lady swerved to avoid a cat and ended up lightly hitting a tree. Everything should have been fine, but then she goosed the throttle a bit backing away from the tree, went up on a low retaining wall on the other side of the street and flipped her Cadillac onto its roof.
It was a small, very quiet street, so when I got there and saw a little old lady sitting on the wall next to her upside down Cadillac Deville I was perplexed as to how she had pulled that off.

In my mid 20s I got a job as a pitmaster at a local restaurant and bar. The job involved me showing up at 2am and running the smokers and prepping all the bbq sides. I'd show up right as the bar was closing, and the staff would hang out after hours and party. I fell into some bad habits and started drinking pretty heavily during my shifts. The shifts were long, and I would stop drinking before day shift showed up, so I wasn't completely blasted by the time I had to drive home, but there were more than a few occasions I probably still shouldn't have driven.
That was a fun job, but I very quickly realized if I stuck with it I was going to wind up an alcoholic.
