I hope this man sues!

Police Taser man they are trying to rescue?

In June Mark Holder, 30, had a seizure as he drove his car in Boynton Beach Florida. His car swerved off the road and smashed into a sign. He was apparently badly injured in the accident.

Emergency workers arrived to assist the man and attempted to put a neck brace on him to stabilize his neck to prevent any further damage if any existed. However, while the man was being assisted by EMS workers he became combative … likely due to the seizure that he’d just had, he probably didn’t know what was going on.

So what did the people trying to help him do? They tasered him … well the police did - several times just so that the EMS workers could fit the brace to the drivers neck. Yeah, that was helpful. I wonder what the Emergency Medical Service workers thought of their patient being tasered?

Motorcyclist hit by flying bathtub!

Have you ever been driving on a highway and noticed items like mattresses, box springs or other large objects on the road or at the side of the road? If you’re like me you’re probably glad that you weren’t driving behind a vehicle when they lost those items, right?

Well, an elderly motorcyclist wasn’t so lucky. Last month a motorcycle rider was critically injured when a boxed bathtub fell off a pickup truck.

Wow, hit by a bathtub. That man will have a story to tell! When he was hit on a Louisiana interstate he was thrown from his bike and landed on the grass median. When helped arrived he was taken to a local hospital. I’m uncertain as to what his injuries were but I’d imagine that he’d have a few broken bones at the very least.

Naturally the pickup driver was charged with driving with an unsecured load and booked for negligent injury.
