My friend Chris loves his car sooo much that he stated he would jump out in front of it if it were going to hit something sliding on the ice. Guess you figured out it was winter, the winter of 2001 as a matter of fact. Chris was driving his car through a development when he suddenly lost control. He put on his breaks and tried to pump as his car skid on the ice. As he looked up not too far away was someones brand new car. His car was still skidding what could he do,he put his car in park! It was still sliding, getting closer to the new car. So Chris jumped out ran in front of his car and tried to stop it, YEAH you heard right he tried to stop an almost (just guessing) 1 ton vehicle. Even with the car in park and him pushing it would not stop! He was about 10 feet from the car then 5 until he was touching the new car. He braced for the pain as his own car skurnched him against the new car. Just then when he couold'nt take it anymore his car stopped. The owner of the new car came out and said "you know that was real brave". "Yes" said chris as he wobbled into his car in pain.

Am not convinced that I wouldn't do the same - the car was moving slowly enough for him to get in front -and it worked!

I don't believe this for a minute. How fast could he have been driving that he could get out of the car and outrun it ON ICE? 2 mph?
