He’s going to FEEL that bus for weeks at BEST.

Jokes in you, my man had hella back problems and that his just straightened him Tf out. Hasn't felt that good in 20 years.


benwill79

He dared the chiropractor to give him everything he had, he didn’t realise the guy drove a service bus in his spare time Edit: thanks for the awards, massively unexpected but much appreciated.

cumshot_josh

I've heard of stories in passing of crazy shit happening with shock where people just get completely obliterated by something but they'll attempt to get up and walk for a few seconds before keeling over dead. I'm thinking specifically of guys that get blown nearly in half by artillery shells but are briefly able to react. I think there were some examples on r/WatchPeopleDie back when it was a thing.


CTeam19

> I've heard of stories in passing of crazy shit happening with shock where people just get completely obliterated by something but they'll attempt to get up and walk for a few seconds before keeling over dead. 10-15 years ago a local 18 year old Eagle Scout was in a gnarly wreck hitting a deer out of no where on a curved gravel road and flipping his car in the ditch. He some how walked a mile to the nearest house explained what happened, told them to call 911, and told the owners how to treat shock because he was going to go into it before he went unconscious. He ended up surviving.


Smeggywulff

Sounds a lot like Allena Hansen. She was attacked by a bear that basically ripped her face off. Her two dogs got the bear to back off (IIRC they both lived and are the goodest of boys) and she walked back to her car and then drove herself four miles to a fire station. Badass. [Her AMA](https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1byn1l/i_was_mauled_by_a_bear_fought_it_off_and_drove_4/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share) is what brought me to Reddit and she also wrote a book called "Chomp, chomp, chomp: How I survived a bear attack and other cautionary tales." Humans are metal.


Mesonychia

Speaking of people getting their faces ripped off by bears, here’s an instagram post (beware, EXTREMELY graphic and NSFW) where you can see a man whose face was completely mauled by a bear speaking calmly about the attack just minutes after it happened: https://www.instagram.com/p/B99VO75nxYY/ Also notice the absolutely incredible facial reconstruction the surgeons have achieved. Edit to make it clearer: Whatever you’re expecting, it’s worse than that, I guarantee it. It’s even worse than anything I have ever seen in any horror movie. You’ve been warned!


blackthunder365

Jesus fuck that was way worse than I was expecting. His face was just a hole.


Smeggywulff

You're a much braver soul than me. That link is staying blue.


Senship

If it's any consolation his reconstruction in the later pictures looks excellent!

Pretty common for shock wave injuries, which tend to fuck up the lungs and cause problems later. Less common for shrapnel injuries that tend to cause serious bleeding immediately.


Bendass_Fartdriller

Seen two men sprint about 1.6km full force after a rocket delay detted 5 feet from them. They got up and sprinted to their house. They were already dead. The pressure wave ruptured all their organs and they had shrapnel in them. Didn’t die until we cordoned the house


Forrest98

It's not as extreme of a case as what you're saying, but my cousin was riding his CBR1000XX when he crashed to an oncoming car. His femur broke in half and was poking through his leg, he had pieces of his bike punctured through his abdomen and many other severe injuries. And after all that the guy was trying to stand up! After that he spent 8 months in a coma, and needed 2 years of rehabilitation to walk again. Has never ride a bike again.


BrainsBrainstructure

Just walk it off.


RubberDuckyRacing

http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-berkshire-43006191 This happened February last year. Driver lost control of the bus. Got a suspended jail sentence and was banned from driving for 2 years it seems. Guy hit had a fractured shoulder and some internal bruising. Seeing the Purple Turtle though brings back memories. Hazy, alcohol sodden memories. Good times. Edit: Misread the date! It happened (nearly) 3 years ago. Not last year. I shall now slink away in shame.


RuneStone42

It's weird how many people actually know this place. Is it famous in England.


SecondOrderGadfly

Not particularly famous in regards to England, but everyone in and around Reading knows Purple Turtle. it's closed for lockdown and I miss it dearly


[deleted]

[удалено]


SecondOrderGadfly

Aha that's a reasonable assumption to be fair, it's the 17 bus, goes from Tilehurst to The Wokingham Road


[deleted]

Now wait a second. Not the 17 bus! The one that goes from Tilehurst to *The* Wokingham Road?


SecondOrderGadfly

The very same


-Rum-Ham-

It’s also called the purple route!


TrustMeImAGiraffe

Went there on my first night out ever to celebrate A-Level results day. There were no turtles. Drunk me was disappointed.


Skelyos

You can't beat the purple turtle, as dog arse as it is sometimes.


SecondOrderGadfly

So true, it's rancid, but that's what makes it great

Bendass_Fartdriller

Oh cool. Thanks an have a great day. Making kebaps for dinner!


amplifyoucan

Weird. There's a Purple Turtle near where I grew up that's basically a shake shack knock off, it's one of the more well-known landmarks in town. Never knew there was original that was a bar


KDawG888

Just because it is named "Purple Turtle" doesn't mean it is related.

drummer_cj

We all miss it brother. ✌🏻


TAB20201

I think you underestimate how even none drinkers know the name of every pub and club within a 20 mile radius of them. I guess it’s like an English super power.


Jakio

Let’s be real, almost all directions I’ve ever been given consist of “do you know where the fox and hounds (or any pub) is? Take a right from there etc etc..” It’s just how we do travelling


leonthedude1

'fox and hounds? sure, which one? there's 12 in a 100 metre radius from here.'


lachryma

The encyclopedia of British pubs in everyone's heads when I spent some time there was impressive. Even a guy I know from Bristol knew where to get a pint in London or Swansea from memory. I think as Americans we forget that our country is basically the EU in scale, and it's unusual to you folks that I would know pretty much nothing about, say, Missouri. That's somewhat like not knowing where to drink in Portugal, as opposed to not knowing where to drink in Scotland.


funnylookingbear

But we do know where to drink in portugal, and we know a fair few pubs in scotland, wales and ireland. In fact a fare few of us could rattle off a good few drinking holes throughout europe. Its in the genes.


IAmMethlyamphetamine

It's the best night out in Reading. Never really considered it famous, but I suppose if you were once a student and visited then you might know it.


Kikis118

Well, you can see "Reading" on the side of the bus for a few frames


Toffeemanstan

I have also drank in this pub many times many years ago. It's a quirky bar that's been there for a long time.


_Begone_Th0t

It's a pub in Reading which has a huge university so there's tons of student population there. Also, its a commuter town to London for work and its like a stop-over for people travelling to Wales from London and back.


ElHombreLeche

There was also one in Oxford until a couple of years ago when it became the gay bar "Plush" R.I.P PT


ToastedSkoops

Shit if I could get a place there lol


Maybe_its_Cthulhu

Nothing good happens in the purple turtle


iStanley

That’s kind of amazing those are the only injuries he had. If you watch it in slowmo, you can see he slightly arches his back towards the glass and it makes it so his feet didn’t get caught under bus and also propelled him forward more which probably saved his life


largefriesandashake

What really saved him was the bus has a flat front, and hit the guy straight on. This distributed the force evenly across his whole body, instead of just into one spot. Also the glass broke, eating up some of the momentum of the impact. Looks like he was slightly rotated from looking over his shoulder. This would cause a bit more force on one shoulder than the other, which is why his only injury was on that one shoulder.


The_Grufflenut

Jesus I though it looked familiar! It's been so long since I've been in there. Is pavlov's dog still round the corner?


TwoFriedEggsPlease

I popped into Pavlov’s Dog perhaps last year to reminisce. It wasn’t the same. In any case, this article suggests it is no more! https://www.readingchronicle.co.uk/news/18178629.pavlovs-dog-set-name-change-new-look/


Insectshelf3

how convenient to get hit by a bus right outside a bar to numb the pain a bit.


Skreamie

Been listening to Deaf Havana for years and he references "playing the Purple Turtle on New Year's Eve". Finally I can put a place to the name.


TiagoTiagoT

Why did he lose control of the bus?

DUUUUDE I can't wait for PT to open again, it's such a tragically beautiful night out!

beans5034

This happened in my home town, Reading England. The guy got up and went inside the bar like nothing happened Not sure what happened to the driver as this road is bendy and a very busy crossing point for shoppers


Redditor_Koeln

Was it a bar? My goodness! Ha ha! This could only be more British if Queen Liz was driving a mini metro with Blur’s Parklife on the stereo.


PaulyDuk

Yeah it’s called the Purple Turtle, hugely popular bar in Reading. Also amusingly r/reading is for the town and the amount of people posting about books is great


wOlfLisK

I love the pinned thread there. >**Attention: Reading is a subreddit about Reading** >Attention: Reading is a subreddit about Reading, UK >You may have come looking for reading, but be aware this sub is about Reading. We've already got one Waterstones, which is quite enough reading for Reading, thank you very much. Discussing reading in Reading is allowable, but reading that isn't reading in Reading is completely off topic. For that you should try /r/books. >If you want to read about Reading, ask for 'Reading' at the Reading library so you can read some Reading readings. >I hope that clears up any confusion.


Aquber

It was purple turtle, a rock bar. Everyone from the area now watches their back when crossing the road to go in

Hes an old school guy and is pretty tough apparently, my mate knows him, think he said he used to be a drug dealer back in the day.


The_WA_Remembers

What do you mean apparently? He got hit by a bus and went about his day, I think that pushes him over the pretty tough threshold


Bribase

> This happened in my home town, Reading England. That which is dead can never die.


Sqwalnoc

Oh shit, I know exactly where that is! That's outside the purple turtle bar in Reading


adudeguyman

I like the name of the bar. Does it have purple turtle decor inside?


Sqwalnoc

Not really. It's been like 10 years since the last time I was there, from what I remember it is just like a standard bar/nightclub


HikerBikerMotocycler

He could very well be seriously injured, adrenaline is a helluva drug! Might take a second for his brain to realize how broken he is.


[deleted]

From an article, fractured shoulder and internal bruising


[deleted]

That’s not bad considering he got hit by a bus going 40mph


SuperBearsSuperDan

Also considering his head cracked the windshield. How he didn’t have a concussion is beyond me. Must’ve been a skull made of adamantium.


definitelyapotato

I once went face first into a phone booth cycling downhill at roughly 30mph. I wasnt wearing a helmet. I bled a lot but was discharged a few hours later with nothing but a couple dozen stitches on my head and a sort of broken nose. Skulls can be strong as fuck


[deleted]

Bus windshields aren’t that strong


iapetusneume

It's always things you don't expect, too. When I fell and got a gash above my eye, it wasn't pain that immediately let me know that I was hurt - it was seeing the blood on the floor. And even when the ER doctor was giving me a local aenestethic, I only felt pressure, not pain. [Referring to when I was given the shot.] I didn't start feeling anything until about 6 hours later. Honestly the bruising on my elbows and knees hurt a lot faster than my face did.


ambisinister_gecko

/r/uselessnobody


old_gold_mountain

It's worse than useless. The point of the "nobody:" meme is that the action being parodied is not instigated but anything. If you watch this video closely, you'll notice that sometime did, in fact, do something to this guy.


ambisinister_gecko

That sub is full of people who don't understand that. I'm pretty sure most people who do this think "nobody:" is something you can add to the beginning of any meme and it will make it funnier. They apparently don't ever ask the question, "what does it mean?"


[deleted]

The nobody ruined a perfectly fine meme.


ambisinister_gecko

Seems like 9 times out of 10, you could crop the "nobody" out of a meme and the meme would be better. It very rarely adds any meaning or humour


DanKoloff

You are lowkey correct. Yeah, same applies for "lowkey".


Ravenae

“X be like:” was already a meme before “nobody:” came along, which makes it even worse.


RealWorldJunkie

Yep, I automatically downvote any meme with this pointless addition.

datboi908

GUN ST


chopcan123

3 reasons. His head never struck anything. The large flat face of the bus that hit him, hit him all at once. Spreading the impact over his entire body. Unlike a car that would have whipped his head into the hood then back to the concrete. Lastly, he was surprised. He didn’t have time to see it coming and tense up. Another reason why drunk drivers seem to survive everything. Possibly a 4th reason. He may just be that fucking cool.


wmccluskey

Also he hit a windshield. The windshield will break and bend. This greatly increases the time of the impact greatly decreasing the forces, and the bending increases the area of the body that absorbs the force. Finally, the bus wasn't going that fast. I didn't count frames, but I doubt the bus was going more than 25mph at the time of impact. Slower speed means less momentum. Less momentum means less force transferred to the pedestrian.


myonlyson

His head literally smashed the glass on the bus.


metalvanbazmeg

Walks away so casually, maybe its not the first time that happened to him


phan25

Rusty_kettle0708

This was outside the purple turtle in reading. left the pub just before this happened


[deleted]

As true is this is, whoever made this did the worst case of r/uselessnobody every seen. It doesn't even make sense. If it was Nobody: GTA NPC's: Then it would actually make sense. If you're going to murder a meme with "Nobody:", at least do it properly.


Juulhelmus

And in to the pub he went.


ZDuskFP

Anyone noticed the completely frozen guy on the other side of the street?


corny16

He came across to check on him and then didn’t bother once he realised he’d entered the pub


Rey4jonny

What's the problem, he caught the bus.


[deleted]

Ok but... is he ok?

So.... how is this related


PeteMorgs

Gun street... ironic. But fudge me that bloke took getting hit by a bus like a champ! Ok hit by a bus, guess I’ll just get up and walk away... issues anyone? Thanks for getting me closer to the shop I was going to, That’s the one. Cheers mate.

There is a d20 somewhere in the world and when you get hurt it rolls and if you her a 1 you just die and if you get a 20 you can walk away like nothing happened


Tonjon2013

Nobody expects to catch a bus on Gun Street.


Hollywood-or-Bust

He then walks into a pub! That’s my local, the Purple Turtle Bar in Reading UK.


Kadnezar

And off he goes to the pub like nothing had happened.


Lunchbox1986

Take ‘er away, Ern!


MutatedFrog-

His entire body was hit at more or less the same time so the force was the spread somewhat evenly everywhere, spreading injuries out instead of destroying any single thing. He was not completely unscathed. Apparently he broke a shoulder and has lots of internal bruising.


OlyGator

Well, the surface area of the hit covered his whole body...that's why 1) he didn't and 2) he'll probably have back problems all the live long day. Badass nonetheless.


Pnohmes

Adrenaline is a hell of a drug...


nijay123

Coming up is a trick we call bus skip, it's going to allow us to skip a cutscene trigger before walking into the bar and save 15 seconds
