What are the chances?

[DJK]

If you hit this tree going 10 to 15 miles an hour, what are the chances that you would die? 2 girls hit it while sledding and died which makes no sense considering how skinny that tree is.

I guess it depends on at what angle and what part of your body hits it, but I'm guessing both of them hit it dead on which also makes no sense. I would think the first girl would have cushioned the 2nd one's impact if anything.

Death might be concussion-related.
Once the brain starts rattling around the skull, anything can happen.

Concussion would be my guess, but I'm not a doctor, I don't even pretend to be one on TV.

Holy crap, dude, look at your join date, then look at mine.

A 16 year old boy was driving a Jeep pulling the sled with 2 girls on it and when they went around the curve, the sled hit the sidewalk curve and they flew out of the sled and hit the tree. They have a video of them going by a house right before the curve and it looked to me like they were going pretty slow. So tragic.

Wow, I didn't even notice that until now.

Please give me a Super Bowl pick and I'm going to bet rather big and see what happens.

But then, you are from the New England area and coule be biased towards the Patriots.

These are the two girls who died.

And I might be New England-biased, but objectively, Seattle has the better team.
That said, it looks like a three-point game.
Seattle, but reluctant to lay 4.5 pts.

You gave me what I wanted to hear. Thank you.

I was already leaning towards the Seattle moneyline, so now it's just a matter of how much and see how lucky I can get.

I'm also waiting on Don Juan's pick on Covers if doesn't pass before this year's Super Bowl and one kid's pick on X (vanjack). That kid's playoff picks are like over 75% win rate which is pretty unreal. If that kid picks New England, then I guess I will be just watching this Super Bowl. Thanks again.

I've been doing this for a very long time.
You want a nickel's worth of free advice?

It's fine to tail your favorite handicappers, but everybody is wrong once in a while.
Ultimately, it's your decision who to bet on and how much.
I'm thinking Seattle money line, and hooking them up with another solid money line favorite in a two-team parlay.

I usually shy away from parlays unless two money line favorites are involved.
I could explain further, but I don't have the time right now to go into the mathematics.

Here is a different Texas kid in critical condition after being towed around by a vehicle sledding in snow too
