Mercury69 3 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Best possibly-too-soon comment on his death:Ryan Dunn died like he lived: with car parts lodged in his rectum.Perfect for a eulogy or even an epitaph Link to post Share on other sites
XXEddie 0 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Really? Did that person know he was going to do 110 mph?Oh, so it's ok to get in the car with a drunk driver if you don't know he is going to speed? Have you SEEEEEN the Jackass movies?Exactly. Watching Jackass/Viva la Bam you notice that Dunn liked anything that went fast. Motorcycles/sports cars whatever....I highly doubt this was the fist time Dunn ever went 100mph in his car, and most likely he (as does pretty much everybody that often goes 100mph+) bragged about it to friends.

XXEddie 0 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I don't know why people are so upset. Dunn drove drunk. Drove with another person in a car. Drove like a complete and utter jackass. 110 is crazy when you are sober. Doing it while drunk goes well into criminal territory. What he did was about as close to murder as you can get without actually calling it that. People like him do not deserve any sort of a hero's burial.If I had a friend/family member die doing what Dunn did I'd still be upset. I'd probably think to myself that what he did was dumb and he shouldn't have been doing it, but I'd still be upset. I don't see how dying doing something like that means people are supposed to be upset. Link to post Share on other sites

Of course family and friends will be upset with a loved one passing no matter how they die. Link to post Share on other sites
mtdesmoines 3 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 To me, the whole "jackass" culture can be wrapped around Dunn's death or vice versa. Link to post Share on other sites
ajs510 122 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 According to the toxicology report, Ryan Dunn's BAC was .19 percent (.08 percent is DUI) and he was traveling at approximately 135-140MPH when the accident occurred. So yeah, I guess we can put the whole benefit of the doubt thing to rest now. Link to post Share on other sites

I don't see how dying doing something like that means people aren't supposed to be upset.I'm not talking about friends or family members. I'm talking about complete strangers who are upset that Dunn got called out for doing something horrifically stupid and/or criminal. Basically he committed suicide and killed one of his friends. People often get condemned for doing a lot less than that. The story here should be a cautionary tale about what not to do with your life, not outrage over an entirely correct comment that Ebert made. Link to post Share on other sites
brvheart 1,753 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I hope the Jackass guys don't puss out. They need to go big here. Who cares if they go to prison. They will be heroes. Link to post Share on other sites
Mercury69 3 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Driving fast while intoxicated is very different from sucker punching people looking at fan mail posted on a wall that is covering a hole through which they propel a boxing glove. Link to post Share on other sites
AmScray 355 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 I thought I was being obviously hyperbolic when I said it's "basically the worst thing ever." I don't actually have a list of the worst things a person can do, and if I did have or create such a list, drunk-driving would not be #2. Child-rape wouldn't even be #1 either. I'll take a gander at a top 10:1. Genocide2. Serial child murder3. Serial child rape4. Serial murder5. Serial aggravated rape (rape + battery) [only to differentiate from date-rape or statutory rape]6. Political assassination7. etc, you get the ideaI do think drunk driving is serious though, but I mean, I do also have perspective on how bad it is.If we accept "genocide" as the worst possible thing and further accept "child" as the most inflammatory aggravator, wouldn't "child genocide" be the worst possible crime?

At first, I thought Ebert's comment was pretty far out of line, but the more I think about it I don't see it. I understand how Bam and other friends of Dunn would be upset, because you don't wanna hear that after your friend dies, but for fans to be upset is a joke. Link to post Share on other sites
AmScray 355 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Pretty sure that's an agglomeration of all the parts that flew off in the crash. It didn't 'wind up that way'. When consumer autos start to violently roll at ultra high speeds, they basically turn into a mass of flying garbage. You ain't surviving repeatedly flipping at 120 miles per hour in a Volvo, never mind a Porsche. I occasionally see violent wreckage in the 'straight to scrapheap' section of the junkyard I frequent. I know the guy who runs the disassembly line. He said he encounters random body parts/human remains at least once a year in the remnants of bad wrecks. Also know a guy who crawled into a junked Honda Civic fresh off the wrecker to pull certain interior parts before it hit the disassembly liine; embedded in smashed windshield was a pretty large part of scalp with the hair still attached. You'd have thought the cops wouldn't have missed something like that... Gnarly business. Link to post Share on other sites
AmScray 355 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Anecdote: Probably the most dramatic crash I was ever 'on scene' for was a poor guy who had a seizure while driving, went unconcious and flipped his Explorer a couple times. I was literally the first car coming in the other direction as he veered off, started sideswiping parked cars then rolled (flipping cars are oddly graceful), and first guy up to the car laying on it's side to see the poor guy belted in, still twitching and seizing. I was very much not looking forward to the corpse I was expecting to see when I ran up to the still-running wreck, but he was pretty much OK. Couple bumps and bruises, but relatively unscathed. Had he not been belted in, he would've probably been thrown clear and crushed...He was only going 30/40 mph, but even then, the amount of shit that flew off that car as he flipped was staggering. There was wreckage. everywhere. Flipping at 120 mph, you're just going to fucking disintegrate into a fine powder. Link to post Share on other sites

It didn't 'wind up that way'.Well yeah, if you look around the rest of the picture you can see that it was taken at a scrapyard, so that's just the pile of remains that the tow truck and flatbed dumped there.
