dummy, you are supposed to use your head, not your arm. geez.
He has no respect for his body. This is probably on account of thinking he’s guaranteed another one.
Send him to Iraq. He can hurt himself all he wants there, and allow a rea lsoldier to come home…

Hey Dvorak, by running this stupid type of video, you are only encouraging other numbskulls to try top it with something even worse. It’s time for you to grow up and stop trying to act like an idiotic teenager.
The Dicks ‘o Hazard:
Too bad they didn’t just run over his crotch to spare future generations
Wait ’til he finds out his wife spent the health insurance premiums on shoes and jewelry, he’ll run over himself! 🙂
[Also nominated for BubbaRayDipDork Award.]
Good find hhopper… idiots are a dime a dozen.
#3 – /dev/null – Send him to Iraq. He can hurt himself all he wants there, and allow a real soldier to come home…
So true…

Wow… Now, that was dumb…
#8 And it’s time for you to start trying to understanding how this blog works… The video was NOT posted be John C Dvorak, but hhopper.
I don’t care who posted it. The issue is who promoted it. Dvorak’s name is on the banner and he hypes his blog every time on both his podcast and the Twit podcast. He is responsible for what is on his site.
This is suppost to be an odd news & info website, not fark.com – *please* don’t post stuff like this.
I would be embarrased to show this to other people.
#11 – John Benson – Dvorak’s name is on the banner…
Perhaps you noticed that after Dvorak, it said Uncensored…
OK, OK, it’s a stupid thing to do… but it’s not the big deal it seems, either. 3000 lb. car – 750 lbs. / wheel. 8″ wide tire, contact patch 3″ wide = 750 lbs. distributed over ~25 square inches = 30 PSI exerted on the moran’s arm by a semi-pliant surface. Not really a big deal.
Some people just cannot find anything useful to do with their time!
13 – “Not really a big deal.”
Maybe, but since there are two bones (radius & ulna) in the forearm and it appears that the arm rolled ninety degrees as the tire passed over it, there is a good chance that one of the bones was broken in this stunt. The bones rolling across each other with 30 PSI of load midway between the wrist and elbow had to hurt like a SOB.
If his arm hadn’t rolled over, it might have been no big deal. Overall, pretty stupid thing to try.
Blue Cross will cover it…

Cripes, for you to think that this site/blog would do anything such, just shows how disconnected from the world you are. Have you even turned on the TV in the last 20 years? Let alone visited Youtube.com?? (hint: it’s okay to leave out the http://www)
You speak as if THIS Blog is the epotimy of the internet for which all morons seek refuge. Hmmm… (reads older posts & comments, looks in mirror) Hey! DOH!!
Youtube generation.
Wonder what they try out next for their 15 minutes of fame…
Mark T. – I agree, if the arm is kept flat – but since when can we expect a moran to do even stupid things correctly?
I hope this dipshit’s health insurance provider sees this and denies his claim.
#13 Perhaps you noticed that after Dvorak, it said Uncensored…
Uncensored maybe, but that won’t prevent people from criticizing his poor judgment in promoting these type of self-mutilating videos.
#18 You speak as if THIS Blog is the epotimy of the internet for which all morons seek refuge. Hmmm… (reads older posts & comments, looks in mirror) Hey! DOH!!
epotimy? … for morons to seek refuge?
Thanks. You have made the case all by yourself.
#22 – John Benson
Well, it’s up to you to come here or not.
I’m not as concerned with the moron getting run over – it’s the person running the car. All the morals of an Enron C-level exec. He should be arrested and given physc tests.
OK, I give. Why? What was the purpose of having someone drive a car over his arm?
John Benson, Welcome to DU. Get used to it, it’s Sunday.
WAIT WAIT !!!, I got it. He is down there breathing all those exhaust fumes. The effen guy is stoned !!!
Moran.
hey John Benson,
If you don’t like this website, there are millions of other alternatives.
so with all due respect. GTFO.

“epotimy? … for morons to seek refuge?

Yeah, I suppose your right. I mean I guess only morons read and post comments on this blog…..eh. (feeling self pity) Oh.. hey! You read and post comments on here as well! Doh!!
Seriously, you wouldn’t happen to be related to a Dwight K. Schrute by any chance?
Two words: INSURANCE FRAUD – what’s with the headband, silly-ass pants, and YMCA shirt? I’m betting he was intending on going to a YMCA after this, “falling down”, then suing for negligence.
BTW: a ‘kahuna’ is a Hawaiian witch doctor. I looked it up one time, after listing my job title as “Chief Network Kahuna”, then realizing I wasn’t quite sure of the definition of ‘kahuna’. I know about the Hawaii-50 and/or Magnum P.I. references.
Last, but not least, I have to agree with the majority of responses that this isn’t blog-worthy, especially for this site. It lowers my opinion and expectations of this site to Faux News levels.
John Benson –
I would mostly agree. The Blog (which I still attribute largely to Dvorak as it is in the banner, url and title of the page) is here calling a guy an idiot, but justifying his behavior after the fact. But the real reason that I’m commenting on this occassion (which I’ve done randomly in the past) is because I bet you are my former classmate, and I thought I’d give you a holler well you take on the room.
