All, NBA Jason McIntyre July 18th. 2012, 10:29pm

Jason Kidd didn’t just crash into a telephone pole driving drunk over the weekend – he totaled his SUV, destroying the engine block and leaving the vehicle looking like it lost a game of chicken with an 18-wheeler. [via Hot Clicks]

That right there is why you don’t drink and drive. What’s the officer, problem?

The old cliche – the drunk’s body is so relaxed, he survives the impact.
Think he’s got a drinking problem?

Out came a pole
Oops pow surprise!

Wow, hard to believe he walked away from that uninjured.
I read somewhere though that a lot of times drunk drivers aren’t injured or as severely injured due to the fact they’re drunk and “loose” so their body doesn’t reflexively tense up before the accident.
No background in medicine so don’t know if it’s BS though.

It sounds believable. It would make sense that if your body’s tense an then a sudden impact occurs it does more damage, whereas if you’re drunk you just go with flow.

The hood went into the window and recoiled. The driver’s side looks sort of fine otherwise. A semi would have crushed the vehicle.

Totally true. When muscles tense up they are more prone to injury since the muscle can snap easier when tense. Think of a rubber band.
Buddy in college sat on the roof of his fraternity and got wasted. Fell off (3 stories) landed on concrete. Had a bunch of injuries due to bones breaking but no real muscle damage or spine injury because the doctors said he was so drunk that he didn’t brace for impact when he hit. Also lucky he didn’t hit his head first. Would have been dead on impact.

I read the same thing. I think it was from some random old dude out there somewhere. I know a guy who was on angel dust fell/jumped from a seventh floor window, bounced off the ledge below the second floor window and hit the ground. They put him in a body bag and he started moving.

Norman is an old pun.
Long ago, Joe Theismann was being interviewed. He said something about somebody being smart, but a really smart guy was this “Norman Einstein”.
The interviewer thought Joe meant “Albert Einstein” & flipped him some shiite about getting it wrong, but Joe tried to CYA by saying Norman was a brainy kid he went to high school with.

An old Joe Theisman quote.
“Nobody in the game of football should be called a genius. A genius is somebody like Norman Einstein.
Joe Theismann, Former quarterback”

easy, look at the frame of the car and the car doors. virtually unchanged, that means the crumple zones worked perfectly, all the violent force being distributed and dispersed through the engine compartment that is completely obliterated.
that’s how he survived, drunk and relaxed or not, that’s why he survived.

I’m not normally into the ESPN bashing, but this Herm Edwards pretending he’s the coach of a different NFL team each night and giving a special pep talk is embarrassing.

It’s already been said: the muscles are so flaccid that the body doesn’t absorb much impact. Guarantee he hurt like hell the next few days after. I see this crap all the time.
