I'm driving down thru fort myers and traffic slams on the brakes.  Nothing moves.  I take a backstreet and make my stop.  I come back the other way about 20 minutes later and there is a dead man lying in the road.  Horrible sight.  shirtless, lying on the pavement, face indistinguishable.  i must have rubbernecked for a good ten seconds.  Brutal sight.  Drive careful today.

Nasty, huh.  Happened to me one night too.  I arrived before the cops or anything, some drunk bastard fell out of the back of a pick up truck.

My girlfriend was just there in Fort Myers, she came home Wednesday night. I was going to go but hanging out with a couple of retiree's for a week didn't sound like fun.

They left the body in the middle of the road uncovered for over 20min?!?!?! Doesn't make sense. Were the authorities on scene when you first passed by? ???

yeah he was there 20 min later, inexplicably.  For some sick fate chance moment, he was uncovered and just out there when I was stopped next to him in the opposite direction. 

no authorities on the scene at first.  i took a sidestreet around the clusterfck that traffic instantly became, and i never heard a siren til i was on the way back.  and even then, there was a minimal police presence.  They might have been stuck in the crowd - I only saw motorcycle cops when I drove past - perhaps they were able to scoot in while the cars could not.  I haven't caught today's update of it.  I have thought about it all day for the last day now, though.

As a fellow motorcyclist, I feel bad for the guy...

Had he been wearing a helmet, he may have lived... A shame he was speeding.

Young lives snuffed out... I do often wonder if this isn't Natural Selection at its most brutal.

he was doing an estimated 80 and hit the side of a truck, killed instantly.  I don't know what a helmet would have done.  His head wasn't recognizable when i saw him lying in the road.  Most was there, but it was just *different*.

You'd be surprised at how much a Helmet can help.

That would definately suck...I didn't know how they do that...wasn't sure if they sent a cop or a phone call or what.

You would be surprised how much they won't help too. Friend of mines brother is a quadriplegic because of the helmet he wore. The Dr. said if he'd not been wearing a that helmet, he would still be able to walk, though more injured at the time of the accident. He's also as good as a vegetable too. :(

I don't understand... How did the helmet cause his injury? Please explain.

While I've heard of such things happening, I've never had anyone explain how hitting ones head without a helmet would have been better than hitting ones head with one.

I can't explain that to you, but that's what the doctor said. Some bicycle helmets are also worse than getting in an accident without one.
Personally, I hate helmets and stopped riding a bike when the law was imposed that you have to wear one. But, I do think overall they help your safety. What I said above, that was the exception, not the rule.

when i was playing in a  CYO (Catholic youth organization) basketball game when i was 15 a player on the other team just dropped to the floor in the middle of the game and start having like a seizure. He ended up dying right there...I think it was a irregular heartbeat or soemthing. It was really weird...almost like "is this really happening".  The priest came over very soon to do the last rights on him.

i remember doing rounds with my uncle at a hospital in paki..in the cardic ward or what not..anyhow..i remember him giving someone an adernaline shot (which even at that age i knew ws a last resort)...then he pronounced the person dead..what i couldn't believe ws that that person looked EXACTLY THE SAME as a few mins ago..

for those that believe in god..go watch a few people die..and lets see how strong your faith holds up..

Just watched a man's heart stop on camera.  Watched him drop into asystole on my ultrasound screen.

Yeah, I was doing an echocardiogram on a patient in the cath lab. 
We were just going to do a quick look for LV function before the cath was to start....
