If he's a bigger guy, the extra padding may have helped to camouflage it too.Either way, it signals that shiznit DOES happen. :hick: Quote Selected

Accident victim unknowingly carried part of his 1963 Thunderbird around with him. Reply #9 – January 02, 2015, 02:58:03 PM When your arm is typically perpendicular to the average turn signal lever, what are the odds that the handle would jab in, on such a perfect angle that his arm would swallow it up and break it off, leaving such a small wound that it "didn't require attention and healed on it's own". Mindblowing... Quote Selected

Reply #10 – January 02, 2015, 06:12:48 PM Back in them days, people were tougher than the generalized cooches we have now.If you weren't gushin' blood, dyin', or great big holes in ya, they gave you an aspirin and throwed ya out lol.That said...I have a pretty good feeling I'd know if there was 7" or so of turn signal lever in my arm. Depends though...a broken hip is most unpleasant. Probably had the guy sedated for a couple weeks, likely by then his arm had scabbed up, and was just sore. Quote Selected
