I saw a headline that said "Chekov dead in car accident" and I thought they meant Walter Koenig and I got sad. Then I heard it was JJChekov and I stopped being sad. Am I a monster?

I heard the last thing he saw was a whole bunch of lens flare and a bumper.

What a lovely way to go.

Assuming he was standing while it happened it could have caused one or even two of his femurs to break. One femur breaking can cause anywhere from 1L of blood loss all the up to 3L of blood loss. Breaking 1 of them could lead to a slow death as you bleed out, go into shock, and eventually die. Even worse if it was high enough to crush his pelvis. Just a lovely way to die.

It's close enough to being correct. Apparently 41 people have been injured by their vehicles due to poor design of the shifter.

It looks like you can accidentally put it in neutral from drive by neglecting to hold the shifter forward for long enough.

I can sorta understand leaving the car in neutral by accident, it's dumb but not unheard of. I don't really get how you'd get caught by the car though like you think you'd hear it rolling or something and have time to get out of the way. I wonder if he tried to stop it or something.

One time my friends dad got up to go to work and his car wouldnt start so he pulled his truck up hood to hood to jump it but the truck was stick and old and the parking brake didnt hold so it rolled and pinned him against the car

A kind passerby heard him screaming and came to help but he didnt know how to drive stick. He tried to back the truck up following friend dad instructions but kept stalling and rocking and rollin truck grinding friend dads legs into car as he yelled in agony and now he walks with a cane because his knee was mashed repeatedly, thanks ignorant lazy americans and your automatic trannies

he was a believable young reese in tiv, copied some of michael biehn's mannerisms and made it his own, which is nicer to see than whatever jai whatever was doing

sad to see actors who can actually act get killed, i fuckin hope that stick was faulty and shifted on its own or he was drunk or some such poo poo and not a dumbass who left his car in neutral on a hill then got behind it

I once broke both my femurs (femii?). Did not bleed out though. Sucky summer with both legs straight out in casts for 8 weeks. C-, will not want to break again.
