Were the scratches caused by more than one object? were they caused by a solid object?
Was the car going through a tunnel? |

Was it one long scratch? Many tiny scratches? A moderate amount of scratches? Just trying to ascertain the exact damage done to the hand and arm |

Let me see if I got this story straight so far: a man is riding in a car, and has either lit up or was about to lit up cigarette. Somehow, it slips from his hand and flies out the window. In an attempt to retrieve the cigarette, the man's arm makes contact with many man-made solid objects outside the car and causes considerable damage to said arm. Is this accurate? |

Let me see if I got this story straight so far:OK, Lets Go a man is riding in a car, Right till now and has either lit up Was lit already or was about to lit up cigarette. Somehow, it slips from his hand and flies out the window. You have hit it on the head till now In an attempt to retrieve the cigarette, This right too the man's arm makes contact with many man-made solid objects outside the car and causes considerable damage to said arm. This is the part that is not necessarily fully right. The objects might not be all man made! Not really relevant though. And not only his arm was injured. Is this accurate? |

The cigarette did not slip from the man's hand? (if no, did he throw it out?) The cigarette did not fly out of the window? |

So, what we still have to discover is only which kind of object caused the injures? Or something else? |

So, what we still have to discover is only which kind of object caused the injures? Or something else? That is a part of the thing. And I guess yes, you will have most of the solution with that if you can put it together from there. |

Ok, let's explore a bit more the moment of the accident.
You say that not only his hand and arm have been injured. But, are these the only part of his body which are out of the window during the accident? Or, for example, his arm got caught somewhere, so that he was pulled out of the car?
Generally, is there a moment during the accident when some other parts of his body are out of the window? If so, head? Shoulder? Neck? Chest? Legs? The whole body? |

You say that not only his hand and arm have been injured. Yes! But, are these the only part of his body which are out of the window during the accident? No, I never said that Or, for example, his arm got caught somewhere, so that he was pulled out of the car? Yope
Generally, is there a moment during the accident when some other parts of his body are out of the window? If so, head? Shoulder? Neck? Chest? Legs? The whole body? Precisely! All his body!
Now, if you could ask a coupla more questiuons and put it altogether! |

is the original contact what led to him exiting the vehicle, or is it that say, someone outside the vehicle hit his hand as he was reaching out, and this led him to stop the vehicle and confront the individual? |

The original 'contact' of the man-made items that caused the original injury when he started to throw the cigarette out the window --- Did this relate in some way or precipitate his leaving the vehicle? |
Mario Mattiello (Mattiel)
| | Posted on Tuesday, June 07, 2005 - 2:19 pm: | |
When trying to grab the cigarette, did he just put his arm out? Or did he lean more?
Did he want or intended to completely leave the car, or the fact that all his body was outside the car was accidental? (sorry for the awful sentence  )
Did he open the car door? (I frankly don't think so, but you never know...)
Or did he hit something outside the car which caused him to be thrown out from the car?
Are part of his wounds caused by a fall on the road from the car? |

Did he want or intended to completely leave the car, or the fact that all his body was outside the car was accidental? (sorry for the awful sentence ) It wasnt intentional
Did he open the car door? (I frankly don't think so, but you never know...) No, he didnt
Or did he hit something outside the car which caused him to be thrown out from the car? Nor this
Are part of his wounds caused by a fall on the road from the car? Yes. In fact, most likely ALL of them |

Mumble mumble...
So, he was leaning out of the window to rescue his cigarette, when suddenly due to some external factor we have to find he fell out of the car, causing himself several wounds... we still have to find the cause of this unwanted "jump":
A sudden acceleration of the car? Another bump in the road? A sharp braking?
In fact, actually, during all this the car was still moving, wasn't it? It didn't stop, right? |

The cause of his "jump" from the car was:
related to some unexpected movement of the car?
simply due to an excessive leaning out of the car, and a consequent loss of balance?
due to another factor?
If so, human (the driver, or a third person)? animal? vegetable? natural? man-made? |

And we are back to the beginning
So, did he hit something while leaning out of the window? Something which caused his fall, but not his wounds?
If so, how many things did he hit? 1? 2? etc. |

And we are back to the beginning No, actually, we are not! In fact, the only thing left to figure out was why he fell at all
So, did he hit something while leaning out of the window? Something which caused his fall, but not his wounds?
If so, how many things did he hit? 1? 2? etc. This has already been sorted out. Let me clarify. He hit the road and all other possible associated things one hits when one falls from a moving automobile on a road. This lead to injuries and trauma on arms, legs, face, nose and eyes. Now find out, why did he fall or better still what induced such behavior? There arent that many things that do! |

Yes, my question was whether his fall was caused by hitting something, not his injuries; for the injuries everything is clear. But I really cannot imagine how he lost his balance... I will think about it during my lunch break |

His dog jumped out the window chasing the cigarette, thinking it was time to play, and the man tried to reach out and save it and fell out of the car? |

He didn't simply jump out of the window after the cigarette did he?
Did he lean out so far that his feet swung up and hit the driver?
Was he half asleep when he lost the cigarette?
Was it a regular tobacco cigarette? |

Well, I will take this honnour
So, a guy is sitting in a car, drunk, and he's smoking a cigarette. Suddenly, a bump on the street causes his cigarette to slip out of his hand and fly outside the car window. He then tries to catch it up, leaning outside the window, but as he was drunk, he lost his balance and fell on the ground, causing himself several injuries.
Everything correct? |

*********SPOILER***********
FOREMAN, Ark. - A leap of faith proved hazardous for a smoker in need of a cigarette fix after a night on the town.
Jeff Foran suffered trauma to his nose, eyes and chin after jumping from a car traveling 55-60 mph. Authorities said he was trying to retrieve a cigarette blown out of the passenger-side window.
Foran, 38, took the leap Saturday night, state police Trooper Jamie Gravier said.
The driver of the car, Jerry Glenn Nelson, said Foran had asked him earlier in the evening to be a designated driver after a night of drinking.
"Nelson said Foran was smoking a cigarette when it blew out the window and Foran jumped out the window to retrieve the cigarette. Nelson said he was driving between 55 and 60 mph when Foran jumped out," the trooper said.
“Foran did the right thing and asked his buddy to drive him home,” Gravier said. “It was obvious he was extremely intoxicated.”
Gravier added: “If anything could make him stop smoking, this should be it. The man is lucky to be alive.”
Great work there Mattiel, Lzeiters, Wunderland and everyone else who participated....Guess I need to give up smoking or drinking....Tough Choice!! |
