i go to cal state fullerton, today in the newspaper was an article about a bus driver who was shot in the stomach, his stomach was large enough to stop the bullet from hitting ANY internal organs or bones. he is one hundred percent OK. just thought i would share:laugh:

But the next day he had a heart attack from cardiovascualr disease due to morbid obesity.....
I do know someone who got in a car accident and the steering column went into his chest. he would have died if he hadn't been so muscular - his muscularity absorbed enough of the impact and his state of conditioning made it easier for his body to recover from the trauma.

Hear! Hear! Asimmer, Im a cop and unfortunately, have had to attend numerous motor vehicle accidents, BY FAR, those who are in better shape sustain less injuries. For every guy saved by fat, there are inumerable ones saved by being in shape.

i agree i just find the situation rather ironic. although i would much rather tell people i was saved by own rippling abs than my rippling keg of a stomach.
