Why would you say something like that? There's no indication of any such thing. The guy could've gotten seriously injured or, yes, even killed. Without a shred of evidence to support such a mean-spirited thought you go and post it. You're a sad little person.
Because I get paid to listen to stories for a living and try and figure how the person is lying to me.
I said I believed he was trying to kill himself and you think that, because he could have been "..seriously injured or, yes, even killed" that I'm wrong?
My belief is predicated on the picture I saw, showing how his chair was wedged into the grill of the rig.
If you were crossing a road in front of this rig you would most likely be hit from the side (even supposing that the driver never saw you) leaving a considerable bit of doubt as to how you ended up hit from rear, pushing both handles into the grill.
Crazy stuff happens all the time and it's even on purpose sometimes.
I'm not a "small" person because I see a story that looks fishy and throws out the possibility that the guy's story is a pile of crap.
