Big Chief201 Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 (edited) http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/39785954/ns/world_news-europe?gt1=43001 An Austrian man who lost both his arms in an accident but was able to drive because of a mind-controlled prosthetic has died after a car crash, a doctor said Friday. Christian Kandlbauer, 22, had been in intensive care since Tuesday after his vehicle veered off the road and into a tree. He died Thursday, Andreas Waltensdorfer, a senior physician at a hospital in the southern city of Graz, said. Kandlbauer was fitted with a mind-controlled robotic prosthesis on his left arm and a normal prosthesis on the other to enable him to continue living a normal life.Waltensdorfer and police in Bad Waltersdorf, a town near the crash site, said Friday it was impossible to say whether the accident was caused by problems with Kandlbauer's artificial arms.Kandlbauer is thought to have been the first in the world to receive a mind-controlled bionic arm.He passed a driving test in a specially converted car in 2006. In the crash, his Subaru left the road and burst into flames after hitting the tree, the Austrian Independent reported. A truck driver was able to put out the blaze and drag him out of the car. "Looking at the state of the wreck, it's a miracle he got out at all," a police officer was reported as saying shortly afterwards.The bionic arm was ripped off in the crash, the Independent reported. Doctors were forced to take off the other prosthesis during emergency surgery. The Associated Press contributed to this report.PS: I realize its wrong to call this too funny Edited October 22, 2010 by Big Chief201 hilariousness 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbot Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 it would've been funny if he didn't die, or weren't seriously injured, or a girl shit in his car during the first date and he accidentally ripped her head off while trying to help her with his super strength bionic arms.

RFM Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Now if his bionic hand clamped onto his member while at a urinal, and he was running around a theatre yelling "somebody help get me off!" I'd have a guilty laugh. That's me though.Seeing that he dieded in a fiery crash...:confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disclaimer Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 I'm laughing at the awkward silence because he thinks it's funny.[insert youtube of Peter Griffin inappropriately but reflexively laughing at someone who just found out they had cancer] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Chief201 Posted October 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 for some reason at work it seemed funny when I first read it could be a sick sense of humor or a 2:30 feeling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GregoR6 Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 I wonder if the arm malfunctioned causing him to wreck..suckage It would be a lot better thread if the story was of the arm randomly fapping him....or better yet, other people.
