This is posted on NY Post a website owned by Rupert Murdoch the same person who owns Fox News. It uses a misleading headline saying “car crash injuries” which actually means a similar type of injury you’d get in a car crash but most people would read it thinking that a car crash was somehow involved in the story despite there not being cars anywhere in the story.
Here’s a more reputable source for the same story: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leicestershire-63649144
I once worked with a guy who had an accident and all we heard was that he broke his leg and would be away for a few weeks.
He came back after having two surgeries, a bunch of hardware placed in his leg and he had to roll around on one of those scooter devices.
“Omg man! What happened??”
“I tripped over my dog…”
“What kind of dog do you have?”
“A dachshund…”
“Well that will never work. You need to tell everyone that you were mauled by a bear, or fell out of a second story window saving a baby from a fire. Something cool.”My in-laws’ dog tripped me a few years ago - I had her and our dog in their backyard, trying to get them to play and work off some energy. I started to run, because that always gets my dog going, and their dog ran in front of me. She’s a large dog, maybe 50 lbs.
I somehow kept myself upright, but I rammed my elbow into my own ribs in the process. It hurt for weeks!
My ex was horsing around with her dog in the yard. Broke her leg in three places when she tripped over him. Freakish shit can happen.
It’s not the tripping part that gets you. It’s the gymnastics you attempt while trying not to land on them on your way down.
That said, give this man a gold medal.
“He suffered cat-astrophic injuries.”
Don’t ever change, New York Post.
The freak “Apocalypse Meow” accident reportedly occurred on the evening …
“The un-fur-tunate fellow”
That cat was attempting murder. Maybe he should at least be on the lookout around that cat.
My dog broke my arm just cause he decided to stop walking in front of me, that adorable jerk who I love with my whole heart!
“The cat’s adorable, and he’s only young,” he said. “I don’t take any umbrage to that, it’s just one of them things — it could have happened anyway.”
And the gold medal for underfooting goes to…
Cat: Drat! I’ll try again tomorrow…
