    No transferance of anger. Trust me, I got that out a LONG time ago at the scene. I just relayed a real life event. If you all saw a resemblance between the occurances, than YOU drew the conclusion.... and that was my intention.

    It just amazes me to see how many appear to "celebrate" and "praise" this event. I'm not being a hater, I just find a great interest in what makes individuals get excited over things where as others wouldnt.

    Personally, I would be pissed had I hit a shopping cart (damage or not). And, I would probably be too embarrassed to post about it.

    This is what flying 40' through the air means to me:
    In May of 1980 I was struck by a boat that went over the top of the boat I was in. HE testified in court that I flew 40 feet through the air, from where I landed, I would say he was very close. The resulting injuries; 3 broken ribs,
    1 rib punctured my left lung, 6" hole in my back, torn muscles in my back, bruised liver and kidneys, a few misc. stitches. I landed in about 1' of water on all 4s. any deeper and I would have drowned. If he had struck me just a few inches higher only my head would have flown 40'.

    Life long lessons happen in less than a few seconds. short winded, back spasms, are just a few of the reminders that I still have.
    BTW he was the ONLY other boat on the river that day
    I'm not trying to take anyone to the woodshed, I'm just saying play it safe out there.

    I hit a bird head-on at 60+ mph (unintentionally). A cloud of feathers dissipated behind me, but not a scratch on my front bumper. Just a big splotch of bird leftovers.
