4.“Drowsy driving. Back in 2015, I had an incident where I fell asleep behind the wheel. It was in mid-August, and I had fallen asleep on my way home from work after a 16-hour night shift. All I remember is that I was driving, then I was waking up in a hospital four hours away from home.
No clue where I was or what bump . I had suffered a major TBI and have been mentally dissimilar ever since . Everyone at the infirmary was saying I was lucky to have survived . There were spectator who saw the whole crash … my motorcar roam 6.5 times and landed wheels up . I was partly ejected ( pose half in and one-half out of the car through the window ) , and my seatbelt warp had broken as the railcar was descend to rest . "

5.“Heat. Your sanity is the first thing to go in heat stroke. You aren’t even aware anything is wrong, you just know you’re pissed. Then there’s a weird buzzing sensation in your head/chest and the world doesn’t feel right. Soon enough, you’re a zombie looking for anything to cool off with, and shortly after that, you’re unconscious.
It escalated too speedily for half a XII noetic adult to even notice before exhaustion set in . Heat will kill you ready than you think . "

I knead with lots of dogs and I got a layer 4 bite from a commonly well behaved dog once . She get sick , and another frump run into one of the area that was more tender , and the next matter you know she ’s latching onto the closest thing to her with those tooth , which happened to be my leg .
This seemingly perfect hot dog left me with bite scar that will last the rest of my life . Anyways , do n’t mess up with dogs . Do n’t mess up with strange heel . Do n’t mess up with ghastly dogs . Do n’t mess up with dire dogs . Do n’t mess with injured dogs . Take every precaution you’re able to if you are rescue a dog like this . Better safe than sorry . "

Completely knock the wind out of me , but I somehow managed to crawl out of the shower and genuinely thought I would have to call an ambulance to take my naked ass to the infirmary . gratefully , that was n’t necessary as I laid down and caught my breath , but I had moderately bad rib pain in the neck for at least a month after . After that experience , I could perfectly see how falling in the exhibitioner can kill a person . "
