My English is rather bad so i'll cut it short.

My friend after surviving blood poisoning becouse of ruptured appendix, went out with his motorcycle on a weekend and drank a bit too much.

Funny thing there's a railroad crossing just a few meters of his home, and the train was passing as he was returning home. He saw it, stop'd, and waited. Unfortunately, being very drunk, when empty cargo carts for tree trunks passed he didn't see them, because they are lower than normal carts, his motor was quite loud and he was wearing a helmet, he parted right in between carts. His motor went all the way to train station and he had a broken spine. He survived. About 2 years later he bought a little sport car, very fast sport car. And again drank. And the story went something like: "Hey, I can't see where I'm going!". At about 140km/h he hit's rocks on the side, plunges on the roof of the car, and brakes a tow on his foot. How about that don't drink and drive?

Thanks for an entertaining story. Your friend must have been really drunk to not have seen the low cargo train cars since even they rise a good 3 or 4 feet off the ground. And after surviving the first accident complete with a broken spine he continues to drink and drive and get into accidents? It won't surprise me if we see a full Darwin Award nomination for this fellow in the future.

This is certainly going overboard! I think he's used up ALL of his "cheat death" points!
