Dumb and Dumber

2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

A neruologist by the name of Dr. Myers has told of a medical case on the field. The patients' names is unknown because it is confidential. It started out as a broken neck call. Once Dr. Myers arrived on the seen a man was reported to have jumped off of a cliff into water. Unknown to the diver the water was ten feet deep, and broke his neck on the fall.

The diver's friend had said it wasn't because it was shallow that his neck was broken, but he dived incorrectly. So, the friend went up to the top of the cliff, and showed the correct way to jump off. He ended up breaking his neck even worse than his friend, and niether of them could ever move again.

It sounds like an UL, but if you can get a real confirm, then it counts as a full DA - someone paralyzed from the neck down is not going to be having kids.

I agree with Bert. Sounds too much like "How did that happen?" "Well, I just did this ... Oops! There goes the other hand!"

Another one I don't believe. I doubt many people would be thinking about diving while standing next to a guy with a just-broken neck.

Sounds like the submissions regarding machine injuries, etc. Too common?
