Chinese are finally celebrating a happy tale from the chaos of their nation’s roads – the driver of this vehicle apparently somehow managed to survive the impact of a truckload of metal bars almost unscathed.

The incident unfolded in China’s Zhejiang province. The driver involved had no number plate, so upon seeing police he immediately tried to perform a U-turn in the middle of a busy road, at which point he collided with a taxi in the opposite lane.

After losing control of his vehicle he collided with a three wheeled truck carrying a cargo of steel frame, which shed its load into his windscreen.

Amazingly, he avoided total perforation by throwing himself into the passenger seat, as in addition to missing a number plate he was apparently not wearing a seatbelt either. The poles missed his head “by a few cm.”

He might be killed off by Death soon after barely escaping.
 
Thats not luck. Luck would have been had he sat there and the bars went perfectly around him. He had time to react, and he lived because of his reaction, not "luck". ;)
There is nothing more to this story than some guy not wearing a seatbelt had a fast reaction time.

Lol. There is no such thing as luck IMO, although irritatingly there are some statements that the English language cannot make without using the word.

As far as saying that there is no such thing as luck you must prove that. LOL

Anyways: He can still call himself lucky after such accident!

Not really, since Luck was never proven either...

Luck can be used either in a descriptive or a prescriptive way. Luck is when something good happens that is beyond one's control, without regard to one's will, intention, or desired result. This does exist. In the presciptive sense, luck is a supernational force, which existence can be discussed.
 
Did anyone else notice how... Suggestive the ads on that site are? o_O Am I seriously the only one?!

I can fly. Obviously it's true, because you can't prove I can't. :)
That is horrible logic sir, think about it...

Why? Because he thinks hes lucky? I think I'm superman, because as stated above, I can fly. So I am going to call myself superman and have every right to do so, because I think I'm superman. It's okay that I'm not really superman, because I think I am.

eh superman?
I don't think someone would even imagine/belive or whatever such a thing even after an accident. Lucky or Not. That would be pretty nuts, I admit that. LOL
But you Just would feel lucky you did survive that day. There's nothing wrong with that.

And btw: It's not Just about how quick he was. And the poles metal bars could hit the car in lower level area.
So. hmm Just saying
 
Are you guys seriously arguing over luck existing? Of course it exists. Maybe not the way you think of it, but luck is only being successful through the low odds you already have. This guy is lucky because he survived. Yes his wits helped out and he survived, however his luck was dramatically increased by doing so.

He was destined to die if he hadn't moved. He still could have died, but he did not. He was lucky.

If he was lucky he never would have been in the situation.

  • The Helper The Helper:

    We have some elderly guests that regularly come hang out at the bar at the end of the night, and every once in a while we don't see someone for a few weeks and then someone shows up with their obituary.
  • Varine Varine:
    We usually let them do their memorials there in the morning if they want to and I'll make them some snacks and drinks. There was one guy named Tom that came in like every night and would sit by himself and get a bunch of soup and a glass of wine. idk why but he LOVED our fucking soup, like he would order a fucking quart of it at a time and would always get so sad when we stop doing it for the summer.

  • Varine Varine:
    But he also loved our calamari, which is another thing I hate but it sells super well so I can't change it. There was one day he came in and was asking me how to make it, because he tried to at home once in the off season when we stop running it and he really wanted it lol
  • Varine Varine:
    I think he's one of the only people I've made recipes for for free because he really wanted a broccoli cheddar, and it was like dude I don't have a recipe, it's just whatever I have, but here, this is how you do it
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think he ever figured out how to do the calamari in a pan though, like idk how to do that either. He was afraid of the at home deep fryers though and it's like yeah, that's fair, I am too
  • Varine Varine:
    He was just such a sweet old man, we had two servers pregnant and they held a baby shower together, he was soooooo fucking excited to get to see a baby. Unfortunately he died a month or so before they were born
  • The Helper The Helper:
    So I decided to Google some people that I had not seen or heard from in a while and sure enough one of my old best friends, we had a falling out years ago but whatever, find out he died of Pancreatic Cancer in January. I have also lost a few of my closer acquaintances from growing up the last year. Getting old - people die - I kinda thought it was going to be this way a few years ago....

    Forum running super slow again
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Not really clear from the stats as to what is causing the slowness.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    We get a lot of guest traffic so it may just be the load is getting too high and not from any particular source.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Looks like the server is maxed out on CPU.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Oh it looks like a lot of the traffic is Silkroad Forums. That domain isn't protected by Cloudflare.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    But the old Silkroad site is still on its own server. I just had a test site set up on this server for it.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I just disabled that test site. Let's see if that helps the load.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Looks much better already.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I had actually forgot about the Silkroad site. I had asked
  • The Helper The Helper:
    SD Ryoko about it and he said the couple of people left on there really like it, that was a few years ago, maybe I should check back
  • jonas jonas:
    I guess when you're getting old, and the last day of soup season draws near, you start wondering
  • jonas jonas:
    will I make it to the start of the next season? or was this the last time I'll ever have my favorite dish?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am doing my first Vibe Coding project. In installed the environment and tools according to instructions but it is all chat doing this for me at my direction. It is fun really and holy shit I might finish in 2 hours what it would have taken a day to in my Access and this would be an electron app complete new
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Good stuff.

    Just make sure it is secure. :)
