You know the whole alcohol given to the Indians riff. You were a part of it. So maybe I should have said sorry to spoil the riff. Members of this board regularly sound off on the benefits of weed over alcohol. Each has their own benefits and drawbacks. Up to the user to exercise discretion and pay for their own poor choices. |
Shouldn't be driving under the influence of either.

I'm gonna do a sober post. I've watched Silverado so, mind you...I know my stuff. They were many things but they were human beings, and as such they were quick to adopt things from other available cultures (white man) that they liked -- in many cases morphing them into their own items. They obviously prized the rifle over the bow and arrow once they captured them and figured out how they worked. They did want firewater, beads (wampum beads in the East were currency), and they were quick to accept tobacco. Presidential peace medals and the like were worn as status symbols. They liked metal/medals in general. _________________ GOAT MAGIC REEL

Supposedly it’s because they’re drunk their bodies are relaxed and don’t tense up so they go with the flow of an impact when a collision occurs, while sober people react to the accident by freaking out and tensing up which apparently makes a person more vulnerable to getting hurt/killed. Our bodies are weird. |
This is speculation on my part, but I have always assumed there is also some physics involved based on car design. The DUI driver's vehicle is the one that is running front first into the other vehicle, often tee-boning or at an acute angle. The front of a vehicle is typically designed to take more force than the sides of a vehicle. And the sides of a vehicle are more vulnerable because they have to allow room for doors and window space and thus have less reinforcement than the front and rear. Thus the DUI drivers vehicle is able to protect the occupant more than the vehicle that is struck.
If you look at the truck in this crash, there is certainly a great deal of front end damage, bur once you get to the cabin area, its still pretty much intact. The victim's the vehicle was shredded open like a can of sardines, partially do to the fact that the truck's higher profile caused it run up and over the rear portion of the victims vehicle, but also because that structure of the victims vehicle is far less capable of protecting against catastrophic damage than the front a of vehicle. |
Would you happen to know what type of vehicle that broke into pieces was? I read somewhere that Japanese cars tend to do that in big crashes vs european cars that can withstand hard crashes on impact. |

At the speed that truck was traveling, it would not have mattered what kind of car the victim was driving when hit from the rear. Of the 20 safest cars under $50,000 for 2018.
14 were Japanese
4 were American
2 were European
Typically automobile safety systems are designed with front and side collisions in mind as these are generally the most deadly. Fatal rear end collisions are comparatively rare. And being rear ended by a vehicle traveling near 100mph is a statistical anomaly. _________________ I'm On point, On task, On message, and Off drugs.
