Very lucky and the blackout is probably a good thing for her.Pints said:
We really do need a mass cull.
And I don't mean of the moose population.
How do people like this remember to breathe without a constant reminder?
did you actually read the story?And I don't mean of the moose population.

Trauma/shock memory loss is quite common.
as are car wildlife interfaces and in canada the wildlife tends to be somewhat
larger than a muntjac, or rabbit.

Yep, I'm all for enforced removal of stupid people, but:And I don't mean of the moose population.

Michelle Higgins of central Newfoundland in Canada had hit a moose on her way to work, but didn’t notice until one of her co-workers pointed it out to her.
but then said:
She has no memory of hitting the moose, but was told later at the hospital that she had fractured two bones in her neck and had significant bruising to her face
So she did notice. The fact that the Mail said she didn't notice is at worst a lie, at best impossible to prove because SHE HAS NO MEMORY OF IT DUE TO HITTING A F
G MOOSEAnother reason to hate the Mail / the press in general.
I've seen a study (and can't find the link, grrr) about the reactions of people when a major trauma happens.
It went along the lines of 10% of people will try and take charge of a situation, 10% of people will just run away in any direction and 80% of people will just blank the event because they cannot cope with what has happened and will just try and carry on as normal.
If you remember, there was a bomb blast at a Russian airport some years ago.
You could see the explosion on the cctv and after the blast, a vast majority of people were walking around bodies and wandering in and out of the Duty Free like nothing had happened.
Basically, the human brain is a bit weird when fight or flight responses kick in and this situation probably falls into that category.

Dear HDA,
Passenger in a car accident. Driver runs out of talent, clips bank, flips car on roof, slide along till friction stops us.
I cannot recall what happened 'twixt all being normal and the sliding down the road upside down being blasted with grit despite hands over face (like that's going to help
). When we'd stopped I had to remind the driver to turn off the ignition as the engine was still running.
I was very fortunate that the only damage was bruised knees when I released my seatbelt and hanging upside down bashed said knees on the dash. Also that the door would still open.
Triumph 2k = strong roof.
Cops arriving later didn't at first believe we had been in the car - our lack of harm vs. amount of damage,
regards,
Jet

Half and half for the one time such a situation applied to me 35 or so years ago:It went along the lines of 10% of people will try and take charge of a situation, 10% of people will just run away in any direction and 80% of people will just blank the event because they cannot cope with what has happened and will just try and carry on as normal.
