". . . blunt force trauma and thermal trauma. . . ." that was the cause of Ryan Dunn's death, according to the coroner who examined the broken, charred remains of Dunn and his traveling companion. You might not recognize the name, but even if, like me, you never watched the show named for a male donkey, you likely know about the stunts that Dunn and the other "stars" of the show pulled off. I remember a few years ago there was a rash of news stories about young men who seriously injured themselves trying to imitate the shows antics.
It is one thing to flout the dictates of fashion with an unorthodox wardrobe. Talking in anti-social ways will likely limit job opportunities, but will walk away from the interview without physical harm. Laws of physics, though, like centrifugal force, gravity, and the shear strength of sheet-metal--not to mention of the ability of the human skull to successfully resist said blunt trauma--are rules the breaking of which bring their own consequences.
One of the officials who worked the wreck said it was the worst he had ever seen. The sports car was not merely crushed, but literally torn to pieces.
What a tragedy!
The Bible, a book one ignores at her or his own peril, says "the wages of sin is death." (Romans 6:23) and, ". . . it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment." (Hebrews 9:27) The fact that God's patience and grace allows us to get by with our sin for a time ought not to lull us into the mistaken notion that we will get by forever.
We won't.
It's STTA.
