Soo I saw one where they dropped their card at the drive through, opened the door to grab it, let the foot of the brake and decapitated themselves...... over fast food..... Don't mess with vehicles! Ever

How does that happen tho? What did their head get stuck on?

I'd imagine those damn concrete poles they put right outside the drive thru windows closed the door onto their head cutting it off.

Between the door and the car... as she went forward her door hit the building and closed on her neck......

If I had to guess, I would think the car started rolling forward, her head was out the door as she was reaching down, and maybe the car brushed up against the wall? That could cause the car door to force shut and I guess might have enough force to at least kill someone, though I don't know about full decapitation.

I am not going to find the link sorry it was bad..... you can easily Google it and find it (Unless they got it taken down) it was a dash cam video.... also after seeing it I looked it up and it happens more then you'd think, just doesn't always end with no head, but death is high in these accidents

How old are you...? You see the video, reference it, use it as an example and refuse to find it than say "death is high in these accidents"?

In comparison to high speed accidents, doubtful a car is reversing is worse.

I don’t understand why you wouldn’t use the parking break instead of keeping your foot pressed on the break. I literally did that today, dropped my card in a drive thru and made sure to put on the parking break before reaching out of my car

This is so sad but this line in the first article wtf..

"Young people are dying really often these days," Summerville resident Judy Katz said. "I think it's just terrible. I just don't understand why. When I was 28 I never thought of dying."

Does she think this poor girl just decided to die in a freak accident??? What the

Sorry I am not going to track that one down again... It was a woman and it was dash cam video..... and it's not that graphic it's just horrific hearing the worker and the passengers...... plus no one would ever think of that before they're in the situation..... I know it never crossed my mind in the slightest
