I hope the parents fell down some stairs and bumped into some doorways and no police or jailers have any idea what happened.

Working security at a large, 3-day country music festival, we experienced a gust of wind that was 10 times stronger than it was sudden (which literally hit in seconds of me seeing the actual wall of sand blowing towards us from over 100 yards away).

The banners on the main stage acted as sails and the entire stage went down as it was anchored in such a way that it allowed the front of the stage to lift but the rear of the stage stayed stationary.

The horn speakers that were hung from the rigging above the stage collapsed and landed on the "VIP" bleachers that were on the stage, landing on a single mother of two boys; crushed her completely.

Story here.

The image of her entire body crushed by a 2x7 rack of horns (which weigh about 40 lbs each... you do the math...) is burned in my head forever. Definitely showed my true EMS colours that day; stepped up and did beyond my job description for that event (I was security and I could have very well just left - I was compelled otherwise).

Another bad one: the driver of a semi trailer had pulled over on the side of the highway for the night, hazard lights, orange rotating beacons and all. Couple hours later, a drowsy middle-aged man traveling down the same highway in the far closes his eyes and drifts onto the shoulder of the highway. Drowsy driver slams into the back of the semi trailer, ripping everything at the clavical level off - the top of the car, and his head. Ended up finding his head on the floor in the back of the car.
