Gsxrnz Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 And the moral of the story for those in Thailand - the next time you're chucked off a balcony, aim for a parked car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timmyp Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 >When asked in a TV interview how he managed to survive, Mr Reyes showed a >tattoo on his arm with the inscription: "God, don't abandon me."

Briggsy Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 (edited) This happened in the UK. I remember the story in the paper. It happened in Salford. The guy was trying to kill himself and he landed directly on top of a car which crumpled and absorbed the impact. The guy was able to walk away! He didn't want to be interviewed by the press. It might have been in the early 80's. I wonder what happened to him. Edited July 31, 2015 by Briggsy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiteman Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 And the moral of the story for those in Thailand - the next time you're chucked off a balcony, aim for a parked car. I note you said chucked off maybe that is what mainly happens in Thailand when the chucked person has been taken to the cleaners or some one found out his will details or the ex wants back in with the his young in the money now lady or girl friend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what happened to him. maybe car was made with vibranium adamantium alloy that can absorb all kinetic energy & transfers very little of it from each impact?
