My Great-Grandfather Was Shot In The Chest By A German Soldier During World War I. Luckily, The Coins In His Breast Pocket Absorbed The Bullet And Saved His Life. You Could Say He Didn't Need Much Money To Survive
Jim Price 7 years ago
Decades (and decades) ago, on a game show called "I've Got A Secret", the guy's secret was that his wife saved his life on the battlefield by writing letters he was not about to throw away. He kept them in his helmet. Thanks to those love letters, a bullet that blasted through the front of his armored headgear was deflected away from his skull and out through the side. After the intervening years he still had all three. The busted helmet, the stack of letters still in place, and the lady who wrote them. Perfect Trifecta.

What a beautiful reminder of the fragility of life for future generations.
Echo 7 years ago
Well I guess I get what you are saying, but it isn't beautiful. Wars are ugly. Kill each other over land, resources, or ideology is well to be blunt. DUMB. We as a species are so intelligent and could so many things, and some how this is what we ended up doing with all the progress we have achieved with that intelligence. How anyone would think that shooting someone else solves anything. The only problem with my thoughts are that we can't just stand by and let others shoot us. So how do we ever get out of the circle of violence that we created. On a lighter note these will make a great family treasure to pass down and retell the story over and over.

Tips - 1) Use familiar ATMs, if at all possible, and pay attention for any changes to the hardware. 2) Jiggle the card slot and key pad, as well as look for pieces that hang further out than normal (such as the above photo). 3) Give the inside of the hood a quick feel for cameras. 4) Pay attention to the key pad. If it feels like you have to push extra hard to get it to register or the keys stick it may be a recording device.

That Could've Hurt A Lot
I work in lumber and had a customer shift a pile of 4"x4"x12's that my hand was next to. One came tumbling down right on to my fingers. I heard a snap and thought my finger had lost the will to remain unbroken, turns out my tungsten carbide ring caught the full force, broke, but didn't bend and potentially saved me a really chewed up finger. I'd rather replace a ring than a finger any day!
Chuck Bartowski 7 years ago
I found this to be one of the more interesting disasters avoided. The material choice made all the difference. If it were silver or gold it would have had enough ductility to deform rather than break, resulting in a crushed ring. I also found it interesting that if any deformation occurred, it happened exclusively in the elastic region. This makes me want to do 3 things. 1) Get a tungsten-carbide ring myself. 2) Get several tungsten-carbide rings and test them to see if this was a fluke or not. I personally don't think it was. 3) Explore other applications for tungsten-carbide where cracking would be preferable to a large deformation.
Heather Johnson 7 years ago
My husband is an avionics tech at Gulfstream and before that he worked avionics on f-16s in the Air Force and his tungsten wedding band is by far the best because if something were to happen, it will break instead of shattering while protecting his finger at the same time.
Jennifer Walker 7 years ago
This happened to my husband, a loaded pallet came down on his hand before he could pull it back but it caught his wedding band and it cracked in half but saved his fingers.
Robyn Miller 7 years ago
He is very lucky. If the ring had been caught in something, rather than crushed, he could have lost a finger. Tungsten does not bend at all. In fact, if you do injur a finger and it swells, the only way to get a tungsten band off is to snap it with a vice.
Aunt Messy 7 years ago
I've seen people who have lost fingers because of things like this. This is why you NEVER wear rings when working with your hands like this. And I don't care if it's a wedding band. Put it this way, where are you going to wear it when the finger isn't there any more?
The Bonesaw .. 7 years ago
Optical illusion because it's separated, making the diameter appear larger than it is. The story could be fake, but the hand in the photograph does normally wear a ring (you can see the callous on the ring finger).

It's physically impossible that the car missed this hydrant. The tracks show the tires went right to the edge of the hydrant (go outside and look at your car from the front and back... compare where your tires are as compared to the sides of the vehicle). Either the tracks have been photoshopped to look like this was a close call, or the car iin this photo has damage.

Almost Caught My Office On Fire Today. Glad I Had This Glass Separating My Laptop And Wood Desk
Jace 7 years ago
Have you missed all the media attention on how utterly s****y Apple's cables are? The mechanical design is good on the connector. The cables, however, have no strain relief and the plastics tend to degrade in a couple years from contact with skin oils, heat, and just plain oxidation. My iPhone 4 cable literally disintegrated at the part where it has to be handled frequently.

Yeah this is exactly what I expect to happen. I love the magnet mount idea, but like all of the other cables Apple makes. They use that kind of soft white rubber. It feels good, but doesn't last take well to bending at all. And it's like they they think it is a since to design the connections at the end with anything that could withstand being pushed in and removed more than a 50 times. To make it worse most of their cables don't even have enough room to grip the connector when removing, so people almost have to pull from the cord.

That looks like an awfully heavy duty appliance cord to be plugging into an extension cord. Always ensure the current rating (aka amperage or amps or A) of your extension cord is greater than or equal to that of your appliance. Only use extension cords temporarily. If an appliance manual says not to use it with an extension cord, don't.

Left A Can Of Coke In My Car. I Think I Narrowly Avoided A Disaster
Daniel Sipes 7 years ago
Altitude change results in different air pressure outside of can, causing contents to expand. - Sincerely, Science-side of Bored Panda
Load More Replies...
Jana Raidma 7 years ago
The heat inside the car causes the gasses in the soda to expand (not the liquid). The higher the heat the more energy the gas molecules have and the more they move, thus needing more space. You can do a neat experiment yourself at home. Just blow up a balloon and stick it in the fridge. The opposite will happen. The air cools down = less energy = less movement meaning the balloon will shrink. If you take it out again it should regain its size as it warms up. The reason why soda expands in the freezer however is because as the soda freezes and the liquid expands, it pushes the carbon dioxide out, causing the bottle to eventually explode.

To me it seems now days people just use it as a replacement for quotations and stuff. Almost like it is part of our grammar like ., ? ,!, and the like. Not only that they said shootin instead of shooting so if there was a group of other tweets it wouldn't be seen.

This happened to me. Bought a replacement wedding ring set (lost my original in our move) and it had to be sized. Got it sized and they'd bent it so it had to go back. Finally got it back after waiting weeks and the first night I wear it to work, we're all getting ready to leave and I'd just put my mittens on. I had to take them off again right away for some reason, and that's when I noticed the center stone was GONE! It'd been there all night, flashing at me so I knew it was there somewhere. I told everyone to freeze! I'd just spent $1700 and waited 7 weeks for this damn thing and I almost had a heart attack right at that moment! Turns out it had flipped out of the setting onto the desk I was standing in front of when I'd taken my mitten off. Needless to say, it went BACK to the store to be fixed AGAIN and they got some very choice words from me. Now, I flip my ring around to my palm when I put on my mittens. If the stone ever falls out again, I'll know right away.

Good job, Inga! Thanks for not titling this "Disasters" or it would have had a lot more negative comments, but they all qualified as accidents... even the lame ones. Just one bit of advice, from writer to writer: learn correct capitalization for your captions or you come off as semi-literate.
