Jase2985:
It takes 1000 to 1250 foot-pounds of force(torque) to break a human neck.

If you're in my Voitenko compressor-powered car you'll have been converted to plasma long before then, so it's no problem really.

On the one hand this isn't really funny, but on the other, it kind of is. Does someone just have a wicked sense of humour and a lot of dedication to practical joking? In any case, it made me smile.

It would seem to have polerised the community

Here is a crazy notion, lets give peace a chance.

Doing a Security Awareness Training with a customer, and the whole way through they asked questions and engaged and interacted and no-ones eyes glazed over. :) Had quite a few laughs.

Bit early for Festivus isn't it?

Here is something else that made me smile: The Spanish women's football team, like John Cleese before them, have discovered the charms of Palmerston North!

Do you mean things like anti terrorist training, surveillance detection and so on?

They could have spent a day climbing Mt.Cleese, that would have given them something to do.

Rikkitic:

At what acceleration does your neck snap?

Given good head restraints (i.e. back of the head against something solid), I expect your neck wouldn't be particularly stressed.

Aircraft seats are designed for 20G, because beyond that the person in it is, if not already dead, inevitably will be soon.

The pole is now gone. Apparently it had been delivered/installed to the wrong address, so wasn't a joke/prank.

The speed with which the assessor was able to determine that the son's car is written off. He called me today. Oh how we laughed.

Like he said...when a sedan becomes a hatchback and it was only worth a couple of grand to start with - it's largely a given that it's a write off.

Now on hold with claims to arrange to be paid out.

Don't be afraid to push back on the first figure they offer you. They will find the cheapest car they can find on Trademe that vaguely matches your son's cars description and base their value off that. Do a bit of leg work and find examples that more closely match the age, condition, mileage of your son's car and present those as a counter.

We're quite lucky - agreed value, sum insured. Full amount being paid out.
