He obviously hit the pole with such force it severed his body in half. This is not that remarkable if you've study accident scenes. Makersmark is correct, it does'nt belong here on this site. Post it to

"Life Happens"
What happened to the site I posted? Which is not the one above in my post. Ogrish.com
What a refreshingly clinical analysis: no, the event was not in the least remarkable, the death was merely common-place. And we should be mindful of the fact that death occurs all the time, everyday; there's no reason at all to suppose that the victim's relatives or friends would find the exposure of his corpse to indiscriminate public voyerism in the least objectionable; I'm confident that we can rely on their enlightened level-headedness to supress any sense of outrage at such an exposure and to place his death instead in the context of any other common-place natural happening.
These are plain and sober facts. It is entirely appropriate to point out, nonethless, that one objection can be made against the posting of this picture: not that it is
intrinsically offensive to human good taste and violates respect for the dead, but that it has simply been improperly
categorised. It has no legitimate place on this site, to be sure, because it is entirely unrelated to the subject-matter of lpsg (though, it occurs to me to query, hasn't any one of our clinical voyeurs yet looked closely enough to assess the size and aesthetic value of the victim's endowment? and, by the way, which is perhaps more important, is it still attached??). It doubtless deserves, however, pride of place at a site properly devoted to the heartless exposure of the brutal, tragic and macabre. We are indebted to you for diligently having remedied this improper categorisation by suggesting an alternative and altogether more appropriate site at which to post the picture.
Clinical sobriety can be so clarifying: it reassures us that we should not be ashamed of our meanest and most uncooth thoughts; they simply correspond to the factual nature of the external world. And "facts" are all that is important.
