What’s the toughest thing you have seen somebody do?

Once a guy thought he would be smart and drive his motorcycle up a ramp and park it into a 2 foot long space left at the back of a furniture van. When he got to the top of the ramp he tipped over – hit the ground (didn’t even whimper) then put his arms up to catch the bike and when it landed on him he hardly even grunted.
When we lifted the bike off him he laid there for a few seconds and then said yep broke my hip better call 911. Well we were trying to make him comfortable some one offered him a cigarette and when he noticed it was the guys last smoke he wouldn’t take it - (which was probably a good thing because he had a smokers cough and would of started coughing with a broking hip).
As far as catching the bike goes it kind of looked like he was holding it up for a second or two - I bet if it had falling full force on top of him he would have had more then just a broken hip. Cheers and have a happy safe week end!

PS At first I wrote: “and park it into a 2 foot long space left at the back of a moving van” but changed it to furniture so you wouldn’t think the guy was Evil Canival or Supper Dave Osborne.

What's pushing us apart isn't loneliness what's holding us together isn't love. Listen to the man who's been touched all his life yes he's the one they call the fool. Where is that savoir of the sidewalk life and the road that takes us to the crusades? We still got along way to go yes we still got a along way to go.

I was framing a basement with a friend when he shot a framing nail through the center of his finger with a framing gun. No yelling or anything, he just walked over I said I should drive him to the hospital. Lol, but before we could go he wanted to smoke a cigar since he knew he would not be able to in the ER. I took him to the hospital and he didn't like it so I had to drive him to another one......after waiting there for 3 hours they said I had to take him somewhere else since they could not remove it. No clue if the glue on those nails are able to bond to bones or what the issue was.
