This video just goes to show just how vulnerable pedestrians (and us i guess) are when people do dumb shit like running redlights.

Note, this video isnt graphic but it's not hard to imagine what happens to the guy, so dont watch it if you are squeemish.

Stuff that, beyond your control. Minding your own business then BAM.

I saw this before it hit youtube... the guy lived, broke a bone or two, but very lucky.

He gets encapsulated in the dent made by the side on impact, so did not cop the entire weight of the car on him.

Far out... at least next time someone says "riding a bike is dangerous" you could say "so is crossing the fucking road buddy"

That would ruin your whole day wouldn't it?

Now there is a term that has confused me for years...
Attempted = tried to.
Manslaughter = accidentally killed, no intent.
So how do you try to accidently kill someone???
my brain hurts.

Mr MTK is correct. There is no such charge as attempted manslaughter, nor could there be.
