Default Just A Little Freaked Out

Check out the video on the left side of the screen. I saw the guy lying there in the street before any of the police or medics arrived. It was honestly a little disturbing...first time, and hopefully the last, I've ever seen anything like that.

That's rough dude. Once when I was about ten or twelve or so, I was riding with my mom and my sisters in the car, and we were driving up a fairly steep hill on a really hot day. There was an old guy on the side of the road mowing grass with one of those old-school push mowers, suddenly he just collapsed like a marionette with its strings cut. Freaked me out. I never found out what happened to him; but from the way he dropped, even as a kid I pretty much knew he was gone before he hit the ground. Definitely the sort of thing you don't like to see.

That sucks, man. I think seeing something like that would've freaked me out more than what I saw did...especially at that young of age.
