It's just Darwin telling you DEX IS NOT A DUMP STAT!!!

hahaha +1

You have to hand it to her, she's lucky to be alive.

I'm glad she got the hand re-attached and might regain some function in it. Otherwise she might turn out to be a hooker.

Erica Rix was playing with a jump rope in the back of her mother's car two weeks ago when the end of the rope, fluttering out the window, caught on the car's axle. A loop of the rope tightened around the girl's wrist, slicing off her hand.

I am fairly sure that's not how the game is played.

Oh man, they should cut off the mothers hand.

These kids with their extreme sports these days, one can never be too sure.

I lol'd so hard, subby

Pah. 13 is the highest any real man needs.

Just wait till you hear what she did with the jacks...
Does anyone here Know what Jacks are/were?

"Erica Rix was playing with a jump rope in the back of her mother's car"

Wait what.

Sir Roderick Glossop: I'm glad she got the hand re-attached and might regain some function in it. Otherwise she might turn out to be a hooker.

I sat there for a moment bewildered, before emitting a full on groan.

When asked what she plans on doing after recovery, the little girl responded: "Whatever I feel like doing, gosh!"

Stupid parenting =/= freak accident.

Jump Rope is like crack.
Don't do it, bad news.

supernaturaltoe: When asked what she plans on doing after recovery, the little girl responded: "Whatever I feel like doing, gosh!"

Was Napoleon Dynamite into jumping rope? I just remember tether ball...

So the girl was playing jump rope in a moving car? And somehow one end found its way to the cars axle, creating a loop around her hand? And in the grand finale, the jump rope somehow stays knotted around her, and pulls with enough velocity to actually slice off her hand?

What the hell was she jump roping with, piano wire? And did she wrap it around her hands beforehand? This story just doesn't make much sense to me, and seems like it could have been avoided with any amount of common sense on either the girl or parents part.

Shrugging Atlas: You have to hand it to her, she's lucky to be alive.

good thing she wasn't playing Double Dutch...

At first, I thought she was playing jump rope in the back of her mom's car. And I was thinking "How the hell can you do that? Was it a pick up truck?"

Then I realized she was playing WITH a jump rope.

WFern: I sat there for a moment bewildered, before emitting a full on groan.

Yeah, I was afraid people wouldn't get past the bewilderment and just think I'm a total arsehole.

/they'd be right, of course, but for different reasons.

Just got back from gaming, getting kick out of topic, etc.

I have to admit, I didn't see it until now

You win the internets.

The kid was dangling the rope out the window. The mother most likely said something like "don't do that, you'll lose your rope", so the kid gives it a couple of wraps around her wrist.


And shouldn't it be more like "Oh, god myhand, oh, god myhand, oh, god myhandmyhandmyhandmyhand"

/will teach this cadence to his daughter when she gets old enough

It's a reference to the opening scene of the movie.

And that's why you don't play jump rope in the car!

/obscure?

Must be a big car if you can jump rope in the back seat.

BBRModitha: "Erica Rix was playing with a jump rope in the back of her mother's car"

Wait what.

*spins a rope*

Erica Rix in her mother's car
Tried to jump rope but the handle flew far...

/are there drinks on this flight? I'm parched.

I used to have a roommate who was missing a hand. Her folks were helping her move some things in one time, and I, without thinking, asked, "Do you need a hand?" Everyone just stopped, and all heads turned to stare at me for several long moments.

She used to have this dimwit boyfriend over all the time, and I always imagined she was sticking her nub up his dimwit pooper... I'd be shocked if she wasn't.

this is why everyday products have ridiculous warning labels.

I'm going to call shenanigans.

I don't see how this could have possibly happened, including the slicing off of a hand. Someone call the mythbusters.

Come on, that's my dick hand!

/anyone?
//anyone?

Cops don't like me

/Na na na na na na na.................

Hah, yeah. Story link on same page...

cuteness.

/anyone got a jump rope?

I'm always amused by tug-of-war injuries. Especially when they involve traumatic amputations (sfw)

\would understand

Feltonl: Just wait till you hear what she did with the jacks...

I used to play jacks all the time. That was a fun game. I always liked pick up sticks too.

Arrgh - Dubai Vol you beat me by 30 seconds!

Miss Stein: Unavailable for comment.

I bow to your superior captioning skills.

\better pic too

I would think de-gloving would nave been more likely.

Ban on the dangerous toy in 3, 2, 1....

/its ropes fault

she won't do that again

You obviously have no children. Either that, or you were never once a child yourself. Wierd insane shiat happened to you when you were young & stupid, and it will continue to happen to every other kid as well. In any case, props to the passerby that stepped up and provided first aid; there seriously aren't enough in the world like him.

Not a good way to lend a hand
It's a shame she wasn't more handstrong
She'll never be the hand of major corporation

/that'll do, Austin

Dubai Vol: \would understand

Now, THAT was obscure.

Walk it off. Rub some dirt on it.

No, not obscure.

Too bad you weren't around when the jacka$$in the truck hit my bike. You could have giggled yourself into unconsciousness. That would be fine with me- Gods know I've laughed about it more than once. When a six-year-old girl looses a hand,however, that's not amusing. Not in the least.

/Just my two cents worth
//Yeah I've got one foot in the grave.

I never said that the child's accident was amusing. But when 1,600 adults consciously decide to stretch a heavy duty rope to the breaking point, and it snaps with such force that some folks' arms are ripped clean off, yes, then that is a "what-the-hell-were-you-thinking?" LOL-worthy tale.

What happened when the truck hit your bike? Were you six years old?
