Especially if you happen to be a jackass, like this guy was. Some people can die, just carrying a stick of butter. |

Re: Dude On Horse Slams Hard
I've become fascinated with severe and near-fatal horse riding accidents lately, usually in the form of attractive female equestrians in youtube videos discussing their accidents. I feel like the characters in both the novel and movie of J.G. Ballard's CRASH who got aroused by car crashes only replace car accidents with horse tragedies. Hopefully it's just a phase and I'm not becoming an example of some new kind of horrible human devolution or - or as Ballad himself would call my story: "a psychopathic hymn". But videos of males being injured in these accidents are welcome too, especially of abusive arabs or drunken russians being absolutely destroyed by camels but you hardly ever see those anymore  |

Re: Dude On Horse Slams Hard
Looking at the broomstick the rider was holding, I think we are looking at homicide by horse.   · |

Re: Dude On Horse Slams Hard
Was surprised to recently learn that the author J.G. Ballard considered the movie better than his original 1973 novel because "it went further than my book". I don't agree. The movie was a huge disappointment compared to the novel and lacked the utter transgressions of its literary form (Vaughn, for example, meticulously planning his spectacular suicide by crashing into the limousine of Elizabeth Taylor, killing her and himself). Also, the central character, a man named "Ballard" at the end of the book is carefully planning his own suicide by car crash (not even suggested in the movie). One of the great 20th century psychological horror novels that the movie only partly successfully captures, imo.
