This is my last comment on this. I did not say he fell six inches. Go back and read it. I said this would have been a fall from a surface no more than six inches off the ground. I neglected to mention that he would have been standing on the thing, probably because I know what the man was standing on and I sometimes forget that most people these days would not have any idea what a ground sled was. Now can you understand what I actually said? And if you don't believe that a tall, very fat man falling on his belly on a hard surface could literally split his belly then you just don't understand as much as you think you do. Best Wishes.

I know what a ground sled was, and I understood the man to be standing. When an individual is said to have fallen from a certain height, that height is given as the difference between the surface they fell from and the ground. Thus someone who falls from a 100 ft cliff is said to have fallen 100 feet, not 100 feet plus the six feet he stood when he was alive.

Now can you understand what I actually said?

Yes. You said a fat man took a six inch fall at two miles per hour and "busted open like a ripe watermelon and his guts spilled out". It gets funnier and funnier every time I think about it. Not the hapless uncle, mind you, but the eager young freeper swallowing hook, line and sinker what is obviously an Alabama tall tale. I bet the good ol' boy is still chuckling to himself over your gullability.
