It's remarkable what the body can do when confronted with physical trauma. Your endocrine system and your cardiopulmonary system start going nuts in order to counter the pain and deal with the trauma. Panic, shock, and that feeling of "Sh*t, I dun busted myself up real good!" It's no wonder this guy's brain essentially said, "I've got to deal with this, you go to sleep now and stay out of my way."

The tip of one of my index fingers was sliced off once and I had a very similar reaction as this bus driver...but since I was driving a Bradley at the time in Kuwait, I kind of had to stay awake and deal with it.

That's why you don't adjust the seat while the bus is moving. Proper use of tag, subby. Well played.

I lost the end of my ring finger and broke every finger on my right hand in the breech of a M728 CEV. Same thing my mind essentially shut down and it just felt like I had slammed my hand in a car door... Until I got to the hospital and they removed my Nomex glove and I saw the damage... Oh BOY then holy shiat did the pain set in. Followed by the warmth of Demorol. Hand injury hurt worse than any other bone I've broken in my life...

Bus driver crushed his finger trying to get his seat back where it was supposed to be (old steel seat shifting) and passed out.
Then he was cited for inattentive driving.

Yeah. I'm wondering when it says "cited for inattentive driving" if that means by the cops. And what kind of crap he's getting from his employer about it.

Greyhound driver crushed finger, blacked out before crash
By PATRICIA SIMMS

The Greyhound bus driver who drove off Interstate 39-90-94 July 3 blacked out after crushing his finger while trying to adjust his seat, a State Police report says.

The official report, obtained Thursday by The Wisconsin State Journal, said the driver, Scott Sheldon, 46, of Calumet City, Ill., severely injured his finger and tendon, causing him to pass out and lose control of the bus.

Reached Thursday, Sheldon said his finger was "fine." He refused to say more.

In a statement to investigators, Sheldon said the seat dropped on his left index finger. "I pulled my finger out-and I knew it was bad, pretty bad. I asked the passenger across from me for a tissue."

Sheldon added, "It is not uncommon to have the seats move up and down. They are old steel seats that move by themselves."

The report quoted a passenger, Lovie Leon, of Hopkins, Minn., who said Sheldon slumped over the wheel as the bus accelerated through the fences and fields before coming to a stop when it hit a tree.

Leon said she was talking to Sheldon as he was trying to adjust his seat. "His seat was already down, and he was trying to lift it up," she said. In addition, she said Sheldon "got very hot and had to open his window" after he crushed his finger.

Terry Foss, a motorist from south Milwaukee who witnessed the accident, told investigators he noticed "the bus driver slumped over, almost like he was unconcscious" as the bus left the highway.

The report said 21 people were injured in the accident, four more than had been previously reported - none had life-threatening injuries.

In addition, the report said there were 55 passengers on board, plus the driver, instead of the 80 passengers officials reported last week.

The report said Sheldon had moved the bus from the right lane to the shoulder and had turned on the emergency flashers when he blacked out. Prior to the crash, "the driver severely injured his finger/tendon, causing him to black out and lose control of the bus," the report said.

The report said Sheldon was to be cited for inattentive driving.

And...It wasn't really a bus, it was a van. Also, the driver actually injured his toe, not his finger. You know what? Forget the previous report because it sucked so bad.

Why is it that comments about the article AT the article start at January of 2008?

Did the accident occur days ago or 18 months ago?

Those are account creation dates sir, not post dates. I agree that method of date presentation is rather backwards.

I stuck a screw driver through the web of my hand once. Was looking at the tip and shaking it, trying to get it to fall out. Didn't feel a thing until I pulled the thing out....

Blacked out as I looked through the hole in my hand, so I understand the physiology a bit better now.

I am now an advocate for the proper use of hand tools!

/fer instance, big blue dishwashing gloves are appropriate for that date with Maryjane Rottencrotch
