You are so right if you are in your right mind you would not laugh at something like this because that is no joke.. to me it is serious business and as you say it can happen to you or one of your family but who feels it knows it I had a son that was killed under a truck in 1999 and I still cry sometimes..
The speedbump comment was in poor taste. So ugly not really funny 😐
