Keep those parts inside the vehicle


Hormones may have cost an Australian man his arm after he waved out a car window at two young women.

His arm was severed by another passing vehicle and he was expected to lose it according to hospital officials.

The 20-year-old was reportedly a passenger in a pick-up truck when he waved at two women in a car wash.

But as he put his arm out the driver made a right hand turn and the man's limb was struck and almost torn off by an oncoming vehicle.

If this occurred here in the states, I’d bet we would have a lawsuit against the driver of the truck, the passing vehicle, or possibly even the attractive women that caused him to stick his body part outside the moving auto.

It surely wouldn’t have been the individuals fault!

You're absolutely right, but you forgot to include the claims against the car wash for negligently "being in business"; the suit against the hospital & physicians for the failure to guarantee optimal results, since everyone who receives medical care is entitled to a perfect result; and even a claim against the manufacturer of the truck he was riding in for designing such a dangerous product as a passenger window that would roll down and allow you to stick your arm out of it.
