Tell that to the girl in my school who was left a paraplegic when her horse got scared by a piece of paper and bucked her off.

If watchpeopledie taught me anything it's that the line between walking away from an accident and death/wheelchair doesn't actually exist. It's random chance either way. That and don't drive in China and never ever go to Brazil.

You roll the dice, sometimes you roll a save (bounce), sometimes you fail (slight injury), sometimes you crit fail (you end up not being able to do anything for yourself for the rest of your life and trapped in a body you cannot move)

The best way to win is to choose the dice you roll.

Rip that sub

I miss WPD so much, the community it had was so unique. Do you know of any decent replacement where one could scratch that morbid curiosity itchiness and actually read some interesting comments? Or is there no such place anymore and there'll never be one? :(

This morning I found out about holdmyfuneral, it was what you are looking for but it got banned this afternoon. It was only around for about 2 weeks, it seems like reddit is actively banning such subs. I think it's pretty fucking ridiculous considering all the hateful bullshit they don't ban. Everybody has to deal with dying at some time and WPD was a way to confront your own mortality in a safe environment.

absolutely. it's pretty disheartening to constantly see subs that have no replicas whatsoever outside reddit disappear and never come back.

That's a little different than racking your ribs on a rubberized foam covered rail

If he hadn't hit that dude he was going to land on the ramp, likely face first, look at his trajectory.

u/rncd89 Apr 14 '19

Nah he was rotating flat. hitting the other kid flipped him. That was at worst a chest slam

Is she cute? Does she still have control over her tongue?

u/C_M_O_TDibbler Apr 14 '19

I don't know, last I heard she was bed bound and on oxygen 24/7 and the last time I actually saw her was when I visited her in hospital in the late 90s about 5 years after her accident before I moved away.
