If he was tied to something, what would have happened when his hand was caught? Something would have to give.

The rule when using tag lines is never to wrap the line around your hand, which is what I'm assuming this guy did. When the load goes the loop around your hand tightens up and drags you with it, resulting in people being dragged along for the ride when a multi ton object gets caught in a gust of wind and you aren't properly braced to hold it.

Apparently it's included so you can write down the time the tourniquet was put on so you don't keep it tightened for too long.

It's so that when the hospital takes it off, they know if it's been past the "time to amputate" window. If your leg has waited too long, letting the blood in it back into your body can straight up kill you

This really isn't an issue outside of the wilderness or a battlefield as a tourniquet can be left on for up to 12 hours without any additional damage to the limb.

Sorry, it's really important to clarify this since massive bleeding is one of the most leading causes of death and tourniquets are awesome for preventing it but you still see old misinformation about them only being used as a last resort since it used to be commonly believed you would almost definitely lose your limb if one was used.

Also please order from North American Rescue or another reputable site since it's pretty common for the windlass to break easily on counterfeit ones and well if that happens you are pretty screwed.

Its just a technology arms race though. They go and try to design and even safer crash-stops on the back of trailers and then Tesla is just going to have to go and redesign their cars to ride even lower or something to get around them.

Most of the Tesla's weight being a whole 6 inches off the ground probably didn't help much either. Short of hitting a wall, none of the crumple zones are worth a gently caress with that much mass slung so low.

Tesla should start making custom exclusive caskets that come with the purchase of the full self drive app. Just tack another $10k on there and Elon can send you a box with lithium batteries that sets you on fire once the casket is lowered into the grave.

No one has trusted Mansfield bars for I think the entire length of their existence. They won't decap attack you but a loaded trailer is still basically a wall so your best bet is to not hit a truck at highway speed.

They seem pretty useful in pile ups though. When it's slow moving traffic, glancing blows, and vehicles tall enough to have a larger surface area take the hit.

Plowing into a stopped one at 70 is a different story than getting rear ended and shoved into a Mansfield bar, or any number of survivable situations.

Yeah, I've seen Mansfield/ICC bars catch a lot of cars and avoid decapitations. They are effective in most situations.

They originally had radar, but it has been removed in recent model years. If that tweet is right about it being a 2015 model I think they still had it then

Older models with radar have had it disabled by software updates because Tesla lost the license to use it.

Been in Memphis for work a few times, but never could make the time to visit there.

This made me look it up and seems like they fixed the horrible bridge damage on the highway that crossed right by there. I wonder if they checked to see if there were other problems in the few months that took!
