Yes...
A big group of young teenagers including a 14 year old Icklemonkey got off the bus on the way to a disco. The disco was on the other side of the road. It was a busy road. Some of us looked where we were going. Some of us didn't. We were all pretty lucky, apart from one boy.

It was a 30mph limit but in my somewhat hazy memory of events the car driver actually put his foot down as he drove towards the group of over excited kids crossing the road. The boy in question was 12/13. When the car hit him he was thrown into the air and landed on the path on the other side of the road. It is true, it really knocks you right out of your shoes.

It was about 10 minutes between the accident and him becoming a dead body.

He was incredibly brave, unlike the rest of us who were unhurt but screaming like only teenagers can.

Upset? yes, traumatised? very, relieved? no, like poking him with a stick, not at all but the driver of the car, bashing him with a very big stick a lot of times definately.

On a brighter note also went to the bodywork exhibition when it was in London and I thought that it was amazing and I am very grateful to the people who allowed their bodies to be displayed in such a way.
