Had a customer from my old job, driving to work very early one morning at a nearby foundry, hit a broken leaf spring from a semi truck while on a bridge over the river. Broken piece of spring shoved up through the floorboard, through the seat and into his left butt cheek, pinning him to the seat. It tore through his pelvis at the hip area. He lost control of the car and slammed into the guardrail. Cops came by shortly thereafter, and, thinking he was drunk, ordered him from the car. He was screaming and bleeding profusely, but they were wary, until finally convinced.
Lucky to just be alive, he underwent multiple surgeries and years of rehab, all of which eventually cost him his collection of vehicles. Barely able to keep food on the table, he was forced back to work; unable to stand and walk on the concrete for long, he could not do his former job. Finally, his lawyers were able to get a settlement and he retired on firm footing, still walks with a cane. Really tough way to see a nice guy get treated from an accident. They were able to identify the scrap iron truck and company who lost the spring part, I think it was their insurance that finally paid off.

A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
