Many lawyers have been able to afford beachfront property thanks to that sort of thinking. We have even had employees who have managed to get themselves struck. They don't always die, though. At least not right away. Take the case of the triple amputee we had back in the 90s. The weight of the equipment sealed his wounds so he didn't bleed out. He was found alive sometime after the accident by someone working the next trick. Don't know whatever happened to him down the road. Another "classic" was the grade crossing accident in Ohio where the driver was decapitated due to the force of the impact with his car.
