College Student Loses Both Legs While ‘Train-hopping’

i would agree that certainly the girl and the two friends that stayed with her are probably the three people in the world right now least in need of being taught a lesson on train-hopping.  

if i were ruling on it, i may have put the friends on a court-imposed lecture circuit, though…  may still happen.

“She’ll Be Coming Down The Mountain” a kid song.

She’ll be going down to college in the fall. (2x)
She’ll be going down to college & she’ll find some friends that’ll dupe her,
even though she made it to college in the fall.

They’ll be all hanging together in the fall. (2x)
They’ll be all hanging together smoking weed & doing mushrooms
thinking slapping or jumping trains is great fun.

They’ll share some weed that makes them all dumb. (2x)
They’ll share some weed together & they’ll come up with a thought
maybe they can play pretend that they’re hobos.

They’ll be waiting for that train so they can jump. (2x)
They can try to jump a train but some of them can only braid,
braid some hair & bake a cake cause they can’t jump.

She’ll be crying cause legs she’s got none. (2x)
This is what happens when you think your friends are smart too
& you follow them & now legs, you got none.

She made it to college for tot’s sake! Common sense tells you that you should do your research before doing something like that & also NOT LISTEN TO YOUR FRIENDS’ IDEAS. ESPECIALLY IF YA’LL ARE HIGH WHEN THEY THOUGHT THEM.

I don’t feel sad for her. Unless she was so hard up for money she needed the ride, she chose to do something stOOpid in my books. Darwin Awards candidate.

Legs are not required for reproduction.
Assuming she isn’t some kind of bizarre alien leg hybrid monster, that is.  It’s entirely possible that her legs coming off was actually her giving birth to two more leg hybrid aliens, and the train accident was just a way of explaining why two chunks of her “body” popped off and slithered away into the woods.
Kind of like an earthworm.  Each “leg” will grow into an entirely new, separate individual.

There will be a few years of unexplained cattle mutilations ahead as the leg monsters mature.  They’ll inspire local legends, attracting the attention of a small group of out-of-town teens.  The leg beasts will pick them off one by one, leaving only one of the girls alive.  With the help and sacrifice of a grizzled woodsman well-versed in local lore, the leg monsters will be stopped.. or will they?

You made me think:
Does this affect her when it comes to “You must be this tall to ride” signs?

THAT IS THE BEST STORY YOU HAVE EVER COME UP WITH! They could make it into a movie, for sho! I’d totally watch it & then have nightmares.

I love your songs!

Most of you would be suprised at how often this actually happens. The sad part is she will now more than likely suffer “phantom pains” the rest of her life. I have experience with amputees and usually the more traumatic the loss of the limb is the harder the road they have… she was stupid for doing it but I think back to all the dumb shit I did as a kid and realize I couldve been dead from some of the decisions I made. She can still lead a very productive life and atain the same goals she set when going to college, she just needs a really good prosthetist and insurance…

GAH!!!!   that was baaaaaaaaaaad!!! 
LOLZ

Good luck trying to get a leg up on anything after that.

That’s why you don’t try to catch the fly

well her limit on positions went up

Damn. Crappy situation all around. Thank goodness that nurse was there. Very likely saved this young woman’s life.

Yep, that nurse had some guts and a good heart to do what was required to keep that girl alive.
Kudos to the nurse.

She didn’t die at least.  Sometimes, life teaches one a very harsh lesson.

What a senseless way to lose one’s legs….

Damn!!!…I’d say she has enough issues now to deal with…..poor girl!!

Ah.

I agree that a double amputee on a roller coaster sounds like a horrible idea. However, I feel the need to point out that a “double” amputee means “two”. Two legs or two arms or one leg and one arm, etc. A torso with no arms or legs would be a quadruple amputee. I don’t know why I laughed so hysterically at the visual of just a torso in a coaster, but thank you. I needed that.

 I remember hearing the 911 call on the news too. The saddest part was when the dispatcher asked where the legs were severed, and the nurse told her, and at that moment the girl regained some sort of consciousness and in the background she makes the most horrible cry and moans “No!” I couldn’t even imagine…..
