Do I have to be the first person to bring up: how the hell could this happen? I read the article twice. For a car to back over you under the power of gravity alone (it said the engine was off and no one was in it) that car has to be on a fair incline. And in neutral. So she got in the car, put it in neutral, then got out and somehow made it to the back of the car (to get something out of the trunk?) fast enough that the car hadn't started rolling back yet but was obviously too slow to get the hell out of the way when it starting rolling back on her?

Also, a hyundai does not sit too low. I have a hard time seeing how it could crush someone to death unless it was going at a significant speed before it pulled you under the bumper. I can't really seem to figure out how this happens. Several of you mentioned the "One moment everything is hunky dory, the next moment your dead." phrasing... I don't think like that because I don't wind up in situations where things like this can happen. It's honestly a ridiculous way to die. I'm sorry for the woman it happened to, but that doesn't make it any less ridiculous.

/end of my cold, heartless commentary.



Vash- it's a horrible thing to deal with any event involving witnessing someone lose their life, and I know you will come to terms with it, it will just take time.
