To highlight this, the guidelines for cpr in this type of situation are changing all the time which is why it’s important to get retraining. I was a lifeguard in high-school and college 15 years ago and while I have the training from that seared into my brain, its almost all outdated.

You can’t really determine if someone is brain dead this soon after an accident. You can presume that they may go on to have brain death or not survive their injuries but it’s too early to say something like that imo

Yes but it is very likely that he might be. 8 minutes without proper oxygen is far too long. 6 mins is the estimated borderline but that is not to say there isn’t a chance that he’ll still recover. Sad to see this happen but teenagers do have the tendency to be over the top with a lot of stuff.

I’ve heard people say they remember laying on their back in a truck bed while being driven on the highway when young.

As a kid growing up in rural Indiana in the 80s and early 90s, I can’t tell you how many times I and my siblings and friends rode in the back of someone’s pickup truck. It was the best. The last time I ever did it was as a senior in high school when I was in the back of a friend’s truck with one other person. The friend driving tried to do a reverse donut in his cul-de-sac (without telling us he was about to attempt this stunt) and flipped his brand new Ford Ranger. We were somehow unscathed, but I still don’t know how I didn’t lose my arm, as it was hanging over the side of the bed that the truck rolled onto.

Was a teenager in the back of a pickup going about 30mph when one guy’s hat flew off and he just… jumped out after it.

He landed on his feet and was able to get a few steps in before he tumbled. We turned around to go get him and the first thing he said was “that was stupid, I don’t know why I did that.” He had road rash all down his body and was limping for a few weeks.

Seeing the video from the recent incident on the Williamsburg bridge has me so confused as to how teens can see footage like that and say I wanna try. One of them fell straight down between the cars onto pavement, while the other kind of ragdolled and hit the barrier on his way down before limply falling to the ground. Enlist so you can train to jump out of airplanes if you want a thrill like that.

Around my second year of college I went to celebrate a fiesta with my HS friends and we relocated to some other place so two of our friends which had cars said we should split up since they can’t fit all of us into just one car so some of us went to our friends pick up truck and we were in the back, for some dumb fucking reason my friend that was driving the pick up truck thought it would be good to race the other driver and the other dumbass went ahead with it.

Needless to say he started speeding up and in his own words legitimately almost lost control of the car and he lost control just when a turn was about to happen, had he not regained control we would’ve crashed right into a house and if there were gonna be any survivors it wouldn’t have been us in the back.

Needless to say after he regained control and slowed the car down we just started slamming the fucking roof and window telling him to get it together and drive normally, the other driver was also scared shitless after that so when we got back he said he legitimately thought we were gonna crash.

I just walked back home after that because I wasn’t gonna get into either of those two dumbasses cars anymore especially after more drinking had been done and also stopped hanging out with those two in general, for a multitude of reasons but a big one was this very incident lmao.

Some of my friends did the same, some didn’t but even the ones that did explicitly told him to get his shit together when he’s driving and that he’s not Dom Toretto, all in all if I ever have a kid or just have a young nephew or something I would tell him he can have all the fun he wants with cars but never fuck around driving them because it can not only kill the driver but the passengers as well.

A lesson that stuck with me was when I was like 6 or 7 my friends Mom got mad at me for unbuckling my seatbelt before she’d finished parking. I was being a smartass and talking back so she was like “ok, stand up and don’t grab on to anything, if you can stay on your feet after I brake at I’ll drop it”.

In the driveway she hit the gas then slammed the break and I ended up in the far back row of the minivan. I don’t fuck around on moving vehicles because of the lesson learned that day.

Guys, point being, if you’re inside a car, wear one. If you wanna get up and stand on the roof of the car, then perhaps you’re fiddling around too much with your own life

If you see videos of people in San Antonio, there are people hanging off cars, going on the roof and all of that stuff so seems like it was just his own stupidity

Wasn’t fatal but there’s two really graphic camera angles of a Dodger’s fan blowing his hand apart celebrating with firecrackers. Try not to do dumb shit.

Oh that’s probably why Dylan Harper said a couple of times in the post-game presser for fans to take care out there while celebrating.

I’m 48 now but my dumbass self at 15 thought I could jump out of the back of a pickup truck while it was going 35 mph and land on my feet… I landed face first in the grass on the side of the road. I got lucky, the only thing hurt was my pride. One of the dumber things I did among many others when I was an Invincible Teen!

Thoughts and prayers for the family, kids are dumb and do dumb shit but we should prevent them from doing these.

Theres a kids picture in my HS graduation yearbook with a black border around it. It’s been decades so I don’t remember the details but it had something to do with a train.

Kids are dumb. Very sad for his family.

Always crazy seeing these kind of stories. We all grow up hearing these stories and everybody thinks they’ll never be the one in the example and be the story others tell, it always happens to someone else.

As an example last August a guy I grew up with died at age 33 because he was stung by one or two bees and had no idea he was allergic. His wife even filmed a video of him minutes before his death jokingly pulling his pants down and shouting about how they stung him in the ass. Minutes later he’s riding his toddler son’s little ATV and starts frantically hitting the horn. His wife and cousin catch up to him stopped and his face is blue and he chokes to death right in her arms in the middle of a field they were supposed to build a house on.

You always hear freak stories like that and never think it’ll happen to you or even someone you know. It’s just one of those cautionary tails you read somewhere or some random coworker tells you about.

Anyway all that is to say never forget you aren’t invincible. Don’t do stupid shit like the kid in this news story. It seems fun and ⁹⁹⁹⁄₁₀₀₀ times absolutely nothing happens. But somebody has got to be that one time and it might be you.

My best friend somehow got pushed out of a moving car by his ex (the details were fuzzy no witnesses, it was fucked) and hit his head and was on life support until his then gf had to pull the plug.

The fucking doctors were complaining about having to wait for his organs. Man most doctors are not empathetic and are greedy.

Don’t get out of moving vehicles no matter the speed.

RIP Henry. Miss you.

I was driving around San Antonio downtown last night. I literally saw children up on top of cars waving Spurs flags. Quite a few.

HardcoreKaraoke | Italy

That’s really sad. People need to be more careful out there. I get that adrenaline gets pumping and you get braver in groups but this was preventable.

I’d only ever seen celebrating like that in videos until the Knicks clinched. People need to chill with climbing stuff and jumping on cars. It’s even crazier looking in person.

I’ve been seeing videos every Spurs win of people riding on top of the cars while cruising down Military Drive. Something like this was bound to happen. I can only hope the people are self policing each other to be safe now that something this tragic has unfolded.
