-- Falling asleep at the wheel
Pages (2): « 1 [2]

You shouldn't move anyone after any kind of accident, but especially an auto accident. Internal injuries, yes, and more importantly - head and neck injuries.

But if it's bad enough, do you think anyone would mind if I just stuffed them in my car and used their bones to cast magic spells at some later point? I mean, it seems such a waste, and they obviously can't donate their organs if they're a viscous pulp anyway...

You'd be surprised, actually.

Surprised at how open most paramedics are to field bartering, right? I knew it!

This is why I always be sure to carry a surgical kit and a refurbished halo rigging, in my car.

It's human nature. There are loads of campaigns around here telling people NOT to do that - but the less educated among us are quick to dismiss what you say and do just that.

There was an accident just in front of a friend's house, and when he went out he saw some security guards checking if the injured guy was okay. My friend told them not to move the guy and he'd call an ambulance right away. Of bloody course, the moment he got back they HAD moved the guy, and he had some kind of leg/arm/head twitch... and the security guards had all run away.

Is it safe to move my bowels after an accident?

Every bowel movement of yours is an accident.

So is that a Yes or a No?

The middle one.

80% of my service in the military involved me driving someone in either a car or a bus. After that I drove pretty high-end coaches on missions around Scandinavia for a few years. So yes, being tired behind the wheel is something I am familiar with, but you develop techniques to keep you awake. I am somewhat partial to the flat palm to cheek, myself.

Originally posted by Spam I've only ever done a complete doze-off while driving once, and I was lucky because I was stopped at a red light. I couldn't have been asleep for more than 10-20 seconds, and then the engine of the car next to mine woke me up when it accelerated on the green.

And then freak out because he's driving and you're standing still so you go full throttle straight into the car in front of you that's waiting to turn left. Never happened to me. Never.

I haven't had it while driving, thank fuck. But whilst cycling, I have a very peculiar experience.

It was in my late teens, when after ingesting an unhealthy amount of alcohol and weed I decided to go for the ride home, which was about an hour long.
In this time, I dozed of not once or twice, but literally hundreds of times.
Basically I would pedal forwards a few meters, then pass out for a few seconds, unable to see or do anything. My bike would make a huge swerve, and I would wake up just in time to keep myself from falling over. This happened the whole fucking way through, like every ten seconds. All I could do is pray to god no one would hit me during one of the big swerves, but fortunately it was so late at night there wasn't much of anything in the way of traffic.

LOL I've done that many times before too. Or pinching my legs or somewhere sensitive. That will help for a bit, then once I stop my body just relaxes again :/
