My head apparently smashed into the dashboard or steering wheel with such a force that I broke my shoulder in 3 places and took a big bite out of my lip. I don't know a lot about what happened at the scene because I was unconscious. All I can say is that it was because of my guardian angel, the North Miami Volunteer Ambulance, and the grace of God that I'm still around. The next thing I knew, I was on my back on the way to Jackson Memorial Hospital. I woke up briefly and heard them phoning ahead from the ambulance.
At impact, the Pinto caught fire and the interior of the car was engulfed in flames. The impact of the Galaxie had driven the Pinto’s gas tank forward and caused it to be punctured by the flange or one of the bolts on the differential housing so that fuel sprayed from the punctured tank and entered the passenger compartment through gaps resulting from the separation of the rear wheel well sections from the floor pan (Court of Appeals of California, 1981). Both occupants’ clothes were completely burned off. Mrs. Gray died a few days later however, Grimshaw survived. He had to go through numerous and extensive surgeries.

According to the witness, the sentry fired at least five rounds at the truck. Sentry Box Smashed But it did no good. The truck broke down the gate and then swerved around a blast wall of sandbags about 15 feet in front of the building entry. According to the witnesses quoted by Major Jordan, another marine threw himself in front of the truck, but to no avail. Now the truck was moving even faster, said Major Jordan, and the only thing between it and the building was the sentry box at the front door.
On January 28, 1986, on the twenty-fifth mission of the shuttle program, the shuttle Challenger exploded into flames shortly after lift-off. A presidential commission eventually identified the cause of the explosion as a failure of the joints on a booster rocket to seal. “The 'culprits' were the synthetic rubber O-rings that were designed to keep the rockets' super hot gases from escaping from the joints between the booster's four main segments. Resulting flames then burned through the shuttle's external fuel tank. Liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen then mixed and ignited, causing the explosion that destroyed the Challenger" (Palmer, Dunford, & Akin, 2009, p. 375).
Scenario The wife of C.W., a 70-year-old man, brought him to the emergency department (ED) at 0430 this morning. She told the ED triage nurse that he had had dysentery for the past 3 days and last night he had a lot of “dark red” diarrhea. When he became very dizzy, disoriented, and weak this morning, she decided to bring him to the hospital. C.W.’s vital signs (VS) were 70/- (systolic blood pressure [BP] 70 mm Hg, diastolic BP inaudible), 110, 20. A 16-gauge IV catheter was inserted, and a lactated Ringer’s (LR) infusion was started.
In order to gain a larger market share, Ford designed, manufactured and the vehicle was shipped in order to be the road in a very short time frame. The first few years of sales were good, but in May 1972, Lily Gray was traveling with her thirteen year-old passenger, Richard Grimshaw when the car suddenly stalled and was rear-ended by another vehicle traveling approximately 32 miles per hour. The impact killed Lily Gray (after succumbing to congestive heart failure) and permanently disfigured thirteen year-old Richard Grimshaw with burns to his face and body (Leggett, 1999, para. 7). Grimshaw and Gray’s heirs sued Ford motor company based on theories of negligence and strict liability, alleging that the defendants knew from pre-manufacturing crash tests regarding the design flaws with the fuel system (Grimshaw v. Ford Motor Company, 1981).
Finally, after several months of increasing frustration and decreasing health, he is diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS.

He was then transferred to Vancouver to undergo emergency surgery. The bullet had severed his carotid artery and jugular vein on his right side. Once surgery had been completed, he had discovered that the bullet had broke up in his body, and also damaged his spinal cord. He was now a paraplegic. He was 21 years-old when this had occurred.
My son Travis had to hit his brakes unexpectedly because a young girl in front of him did not use her blinker as she turned the corner. On another occasion while my son was waiting to turn left at an intersection, an oncoming motorist failed to use his signal to turn right, which caused to wait longer than necessary before turning. I have now noticed Travis using his signal to turn into the driveway of his home! The second inadequate skill involves drivers barely coming to a complete stop while at stop signs, or stopping for school buses. One morning I explained to Travis that drivers always have to stop for school buses when the stop sign is out, regardless of which direction they are heading.
