Anyone who doesn't say die like a bitch is lying to themselves

I actually had this thought once. Long time ago I was in this industrial workplace accident (don't wear loose fitting clothes near huge spinning things) and to cut to the chase I ended up on the floor bleeding and I'm guessing the shock made it so that I couldn't breathe for around a minute. I can hold my breath for a minute, no problem, but in the moment when you don't know what is happening and you can't breathe and there's no way to just start breathing, that minute felt very very long. I remember thinking "well, this is it, I will die now, but.. I guess it's for the best."
Turns out I had been depressed for a while, and needed some change in my life.

The logs don’t actually tend to fly out and backwards, they fall off to the sides, usually just one side too, the best option is to give them plenty of space and be ready to steer to the side not dumping logs. If you’re unfortunate enough that one managed to catch air enough to be sent back but not enough to change it from horizontal to more vertical the universe has already decided what you’re doing, dying

We have a ton of these where I live I’ve never seen one in motion fail I don’t find them any scarier than a normal semi who has who knows what, possibly something way more deadly and way less stable hidden inside the container

I thought there was a giant log rolling toward the lorry.

Floor it in the hope my pulverized corpse takes the fucker with me

Swerve right with medium braking. Depending on the logs either swerve back in, or more likely crash into the guardrail as slow as possible, any oole/structure could take a lifesaving hit before you do.
