I don't understand the mentality of a person who can run someone down then flee the scene leaving them for dead. I don't really buy the memory loss story. If you can't remember running someone over, maybe you shouldn't be allowed to drive in the first place. Just saying.

there is one person who didn't like this video, I think we know who she is...

@CubexDE No, I think everyone has heard of how Christians hate "religion" because it is not God's desire. But you are arguing semantics or "naming conventions" only. What you choose to call "faith" is what atheists call "religion". Regardless of the name you give it, you are both talking about the same thing: faith in God. Thus, whatever point you are trying to make by imposing your own definition of religion in this argument, you can expect that your opponent simply doesn't care.

@CubexDE Funny he didn't, you know, prevent the crash?

@CubexDE

derpers gonna derp?

[CubexDE]

@ArsonistInUrFirewall Nope, you still don't get it. But, like I said:

Haters gonna hate.

@CubexDE

I understand, you have FAITH in your RELIGION.

[CubexDE]

@ArsonistInUrFirewall Why do you have to ruin and befoul a perfectly good comment with such abominations as your hate for God?

Also, I'm not religious. There's a difference between religion and faith, and if you don't know what it is, stop hating until you figure it out. Then you can start hating again. (Haters gonna hate.)

That helmet didn't save your life, God wants you alive. You have something to accomplish still. My guess is that your work will lead to saving other peoples' lives, and God wants you to achieve that. It is absolutely nothing short of a miracle that you are still alive, not to mention still able to move and walk. God himself intervened to save you.

Thank science you are alive and walking. It took me almost a month of looking at the link for this video before I finally watched it. It was very hard for me to watch now that I did as well. I am just so glad you are OK.

As much as I love riding my bike, I never ride or walk along the street because I know this can happen. Lights, helmet or not, all it takes is one driver not paying attention for the slightest fraction of a second.

you have to be a sadistic fucking asshole to rate down a dude breaking his spine.
