I drive a big truck. You know where my hitch stays when not in use? The fucking cab. I've never understood why people leave them on their trucks. It's not convenient to leave it on because it makes it harder to back up without hitting something.

Just a heads up, if it's in your cab make sure it's secured. I worked as a paramedic for a few years and people roll their trucks a ***LOT*** here. It wasn't uncommon to find tools, hitches, chains and all sorts of shit embedded into occupants.

For lack of a better word. Impaled usually implies some sort of sharpness, heavy objects with enough mass though will just push through until the skin gives away

No problem with the wording, it just added an additional layer of gruesome that did me in.

It's definitely quite macabre lol.

I guess I was just thinking “car accident” and not anything extra like unsecured shit floating around causing a head injury. I’ll be thinking twice about throwing canned goods in my front seat for real.

Saying inserted or penetration has entirely different connotations. That's tricky.
