OMG, I did five years as a retained firefighter and attended many RTA's, but that is something else ...

I know a girl with the police who was telling me about having to go out to an incident on the A41 (duel carridgeway) just outside of the M25 where a man had decided to walk out into the road (possibly intentionally) infront of a fast moving vehicle.

That guy wasn't just in two pieces

I was talking with my boss the other day and she was telling me about a guy who as he got out of his car was clipped by a HGV going passed, it snagged him and dragged him along the road. He suffered complete degloving of both legs, down to the bone, and one of his arms was mangled. The A&E photographs of that didn't look real, they looked like a haloween prop his lower half just shreds of flesh hanging off the bones. He Survived. They even managed to save his mangled arm though he lost both legs, one through to the hip. He left hospital only a few weeks after his accident.

The human body is an amazing bit of kit. It has the ability to mend it's self, to cope with seemingly unimaginable trauma. BUT there comes a point where it's powers of recovery will fail. Driving to and from work today I had the images from the slideshow in my mind I never considered myself a bad driver, but I think I was a little more careful than usual today.

Ever since Kyra got pregnant I have been driving far more slowly and more carefully. If some tit tailgates me in fog i just let them by to tailgate the next chap as I dont want to be in a crash just cos some idiot wants to go that wee bit faster.

Thoses photos didn't look quite real although they obviously are. But who took the photos? And Why?
