Thanks, from a fellow Canadian for the intelligent and insightful comment, I agree 100%.

Basically what happened with health care in Canada is that the last two liberal governments were corporate liberals that slashed corporate taxes and to balance the budget cut health care funding to the provinces. And the present conservative government did the same thing. From the 1950s to the early 1990s there wasn't a problem with health care in Canada. But there is a problem now in that we don't train enough doctors by a huge factor. It's the result of systemic cuts over almost two decades.
The truth is that Canadian politicians from both major parties have bought into Thatcherism, Reaganism, whatever you want to call it. The two main political parties in Canada, like the US are dislocated from the people in that they are ideologically bent on serving those that control our resources. For Canada it's oil locally and mining internationally. Popular social programs like a universal child care program in Canada, which had overwhelming support, is relatively cheap, and the program it was based on in Quebec cut child poverty in half in under a decade, will never be considered by our modern liberal or conservative leaderships. They don't listen to the population.
Alright I'll stop ranting.

Well, this was... interesting. Nice finish though!

^ ^ ^ From Wikipedia: Kevin Everett (born February 5, 1982 in Port Arthur, Texas) is a former American football tight end who played for the Buffalo Bills of the National Football League. He was drafted by the Bills in the third round of the 2005 NFL Draft. He played college football at the University of Miami.

On September 9, 2007, Everett sustained a fracture and dislocation of his cervical spine that his doctors characterized as "life-threatening" the day after the injury, and stated it is likely to leave him with permanent neurological impairment. However, on September 11, 2007, Everett showed significant movement in his arms and legs, which led doctors to speculate that he might eventually be able to walk again.

Those cops are outright embarrassing. They seriously need to watch this. They were struggling WAYY to hard against him when there were MUCH simpler, easier techniques they could have applied to get this guy to submit.
A Taser only works if both probes hit. If one missed, which is likely what happened, then it won't really do anything. They're too close to him for that to work anyway, and risked back-shocking themselves.
And Drunken/Disorderly would be a start for this guy's rap sheet even if he doesn't have an outstanding warrant.


If you try that shit IRL when someone is resisting, there's a very high probability of breaking their elbow or dislocating their shoulder. It's only safe when the target knows wtf is going on and how to not get himself hurt.

You just made me a MotoGP fan.

Thanks I was wondering what he meant by a blue flag. So there's a flag to let you know you're better off packing your bags?


Yes, the blue flag is shown to warn riders that the race leaders are about to lap them. You're supposed to be nice and get off the racing line so the leaders can pass unhindered and you then rejoin.

This is why it's otherwise known as the "there's a race going on and you ain't in it" flag

As for comments about why they're not hurting themselves, the type of crash (a "low-side" where the bike falls due to loss of grip) means that the energy is spent by the rider sliding along the tarmac. The idea is that the run-off (usually grass and then "kitty litter" gravel) will dissipate this energy so you are taken away from the track and slowed down without hitting a barrier. That's not to say that injuries don't happen; should you be rolling or catch something and start to tumble, you're likely to break bones as your arms/legs go flailing. This whiplash will dislocate limbs if you're lucky and break them if you're not. Wayne Rainey was paralysed from the chest down in one such incident while racing in 1993.

Modern riding kit helps a lot; leather is still very difficult to beat (some use Kangaroo leather, others use Stingray skin!) and with reinforced areas and protectors (usually for knees, elbows, shoulders, back and chest) it means you can walk away from a 200mph slide.

For sheer bone-breaking madness, you really don't want to "high-side" a bike. This is where the rear of the bike will lose traction and start to slide. This has the dual effect of tilting the bike and moving it off axis of the direction of travel, like a handbrake turn in a car. This also compresses the rear suspension, usually a single shock absorber. The problem comes when, due to the rear wheel slowing down through sideways motion, the rear wheel grips again. At this point the bike will now try to rotate around the horizontal axis (from one side to the other) due to the sudden grip stopping the slide. This gives the rear suspension a chance to uncompress, and has the effect of firing the rider out of the seat. Give it enough speed, slide and compression and you've just invented the Motorcycle Ejector Seat.

For some great crashes in MotoGP, the bike equivalent of Formula 1, have a look here (fast forward to 5m10s)

And yes, if you watched the #1 crash, Jorge Lorenzo really did break *both* his ankles in qualifying, but went on to race and came 4th!

Not only this is a great goal but this was Eduardo's first Premier League game after an open dislocation of his ankle forced him on the side line for 12 months. You can see the tackle that caused his horrific injury here:

Warning: Graphic content!

I did pretty much that same thing when I was like 19, only it was more like 7m than 70m. Bruised my tailbone real good and dislocated my hip. I can't imagine 10x worse.

Sure felt like it, but no, I was the one tackled. Three of my teammates decided that I should have chosen a different extracurricular activity and felt they should persuade me to reconsider my options post haste. I'm sure they were only trying to scare me into quitting, but they succeeded in getting themselves banned from playing in our district indefinitely, and permanently injuring me. The most frustrating part is that I now get winded really easily because I can't inhale fully without pain, so I have to breathe shallow.

i remember my first hit....wait, do i?

I do too! 3 broken ribs, fractured collar bone, dislocated shoulder and hip. First and last hit, during a practice scrimmage. Guess that was my punishment for thinking that going out for football in 10th grade would be a good way to make friends.
Good god, man. did you try to tackle a Suburban?

I watched this whole video with my hands on my forehead in "WTF???" mode. What a complete fucking idiot! I have a 10 month old at home and would never, ever do that.

rant on:

Let's say that shaken baby syndrome or dislocated shoulders are "debatable" potential problems here. Dropping the kid, losing your grip or the baby hitting something are not. And don't argue the old "He's a professional, wouldn't happen," that's why they call them accidents.

Seriously, you need a license to drive but any fucking moron can be a parent.

end rant

A buddy of mine dislocated his shoulder hitting the water from half that height on the Blob.

Also, my sister nearly drowned when the thing deflated with her on it. It collapsed around her and pulled her under.

Yeeesshh..

I will dispute that argument that he could run any where with a broken back and dislocated heel.

So until they have third party proof that he was running around with or without the injuries I will dispute any thing the group thinkers at the station have to say.
