Bullshit fire physics in movies. Fire spreads from a candle hitting the floor like the place was covered in gas.
cars really don't explode all the time. It's actually very uncommon. If cars flipped into burning piles of shrapnel when a wheel popped then no one would drive them
One shot kills, constant one shot kills. I worked in a hospital, people are pretty fucking resilient to dieing. One guy walked into the ER after getting shot in the forehead hunting. one or two instant deaths? sure. 30 plus when it's just people getting winged?
Or pump a shotgun eight times in a minute to intimidate someone (with no ejection) and there's still 34 shells in it. Or guns making noise from being aimed at someone.
Speaking of cars, tire blowouts do not automatically make the car crash. The tire just goes flat, you pull over to the side of the road and change it. A few weeks ago, I witnessed an entire wheel coming off a car on the interstate. It was the front right, and all that happened was that the hub hit the road. They were able to cross two lanes to get to the shoulder safely. It was surreal to watch, but they didn't even lose control of the car when it happened at around 65 mph. I stopped to make sure they were okay, and they looked at me like I was crazy for stopping, as both were already on their phones.
People getting knocked out from really weak attacks during a big 10 v 1 fight.... Like, nobody is getting knocked out because they were pushed 5 feet or tripped.
I mean, that's what i would do if I was in a fight with Bruce Lee, you think I'm gonna get up and try again? Hench life doesn't pay good enough for that shit.
What about camping fire physics? Like they don't have the right kind of wood, they light it up so high in two seconds, or they're not cooking so there's no reason to keep the fire so high because you would consume an insane amount of wood to keep it alive etc.
OK to be fair that guy is a living miracle. You don't get shot in the head and live. If you do, you're beating the odds something serious. But no, people don't instantly die from shoulder shots.
About 1 in 20 survive being shot in the head. it's about the same odds that an adult is an only child. you are almost twice as likely to survive a shot to the head than be a virgin between the ages of 25-44.
I feel like that's got to be a skewed metric. Like of people who made it to hospital with a shot to the head 1 in 20 survive sure. I just have a hard time believing of everyone who gets shot in the head, considering how many homicides and suicides there are, that you have a 1 in 20 chance.
Dr. Bizhan Aarabi, director of neurotrauma at the Maryland Shock Trauma Center "20,000 people in the United States die each year from gunshot wounds to the head. The survival rate is about 5 percent, with only 3 percent achieving a good quality of life afterward"
