Many Denver drivers lack decency

If you backed way off on inferences, you and the world would be better off. I bet it took you longer to write that than it would have to look it up.

The news when I checked is largely vague, esp to people who aren't there. And before I replied, there wasn't anything related (Castle Rock Runaway Semi) yes... I did check. I wasn't going to go hunting through all your local news stations one by one.

Now you have some vague news.

Other articles I saw aren't really any more informative about how the other vehicles were hit (besides the four at the stoplight).

So maybe your dry humor (which I suspected anyway) isn't a given outside of your assumption that people saw whatever local news...

Usually people post a link for that reason.

Does everyone have a tourniquet in the glove box? I mean here on the board, not the general public. It's a "hope I never need it, glad I have it when I do" item and should be in every car IMHO.

Yup.

Picked up that wise bit of advice from CMalliard at a stop the bleed class last year.

Having just one in your range bag isn't enough either.

IFAK hanging off the back of the driver's headrest, complete first aid kit in the backseat. Another IFAK hanging off my work backpack.

That's probably a better place for mine instead of under the back seat (truck) or rolling around on the back seat floor (car).

Anyone remember the shooter that had the ND --- either inside his car, or inside the trunk area of the crossover, I'm not sure. Seems like it was a parking lot of a range. All I remember is he died trying quickly to transition between the seats in the trunk area where his blowout kit was. Seems like it was Colorado, but my memory is too vague to get anything on a search engine.

Here's an idea one of you bastards can invent and patent: Make a rugged wallet that can somehow quickly convert to a tourniquet. I'd buy that...

I probably shouldn't sh*t on your idea but simply put thats a terrible idea Oxart.

Could be, depends who designed it. I can already think of at least a half dozen different ways it could be done - and that's off the cuff. Overall, I think opening the bottom and sliding the entire thing over a limb would be the most effective, (no seams) with a velcro-detachable strap on the outside or something to then place over the wallet and tighten. That would be better than any field-expedient tourniquet I can think of. Just don't let the bottom open while you're carrying normal stuff.... [Also wouldn't work on even moderately obese people unless you made a wider wallet, so idk]

Also remember there's far more people saved by a half-ass tourniquet, than there is from a $80 blowout kit left all the way in your home/ vehicle.
