feedback on Archie's accident story

from Sonny

Glad to hear your safe, Archie. I remember you as the athletic, tough and prolific scorer whom we played against in the Asingan basketball league in the early 80’s - where nasty bumps and hard tackles are part of the game. I am thus not the least surprised that you came out of that mishap virtually unscathed. But thank your car’s head rest not your air-bag. A big bump from the rear, if I remember my physics right, would cause your head to lurch back and, without the headrest to impede the motion, would probably cause your neck to break or worse, your spinal cord to snap. That probably explains why you are complaining of a stiff neck rather than a bruised forehead. Otherwise you are very sound. One benefit arising from your accident, if I may add, is that you find the time and inspiration to write a beautiful account of it. Stay safe and my regards to your family.

Have a good day.
