- drunkmuppet, on 09/22/2008, -4/+165I'm glad people stopped to give her a hand...
- granolajoe, on 09/22/2008, -2/+93That little girl is hardcore
- jessjesscali, on 09/22/2008, -8/+86Did the woman who stopped talk to the hand?
- Dumbledorito, on 09/23/2008, -3/+72"Ma'am, we can re-attach your daughter's hand, yes, but... have you considered a chain-saw? I was talking with some of the guys and we think it would totally rule."
- a2fan, on 09/23/2008, -2/+53Stupid assumption, maybe she was concentrating on the traffic and her eyes were on the road. Have you ever glanced back to see what your kid was doing and looked back just in time to avoid hitting the moron cutting you off?
***** happens. Sometimes it's not the parent's fault. - inactive, on 09/23/2008, -2/+52i'm gonna go out on a limb and say she didn't do anything brave
- KCLorelei, on 09/22/2008, -6/+55This is the cutest little girl ever! I hope she recovers. It makes me motivated to be a good Samaritan if I ever have a chance in the future. But I don't know what I would do if I found a little girl's hand sitting in the middle of the street. Ugh-
- inactive, on 09/23/2008, -1/+48Holy ***** that's amazing.
"So why are you afraid of jump ropes?"
"....It's a long....harrowing story..." - Darrelc, on 09/22/2008, -1/+42At least it was her left hand, 9/10 chance it's not her writing hand.
- inactive, on 09/23/2008, -0/+4010/10 Chance it's not her writing hand now.
- SillyRabbits, on 09/23/2008, -1/+38"A good reminder of why back windows didn't used to roll down all the way. Remember that?"
Umm, I remember when there was no such thing as windows that didn't roll down all the way, and there was no way, in any car, to disable the inside door handles. And, kids could climb around and lay on the rear-window shelf in cars and nobody would care or think it was unsafe. And, when seatbelts were an optional feature you had to pay extra for.... - Vodd9, on 09/23/2008, -3/+36I laughed. Hard.
See you in hell. - diggit83, on 09/23/2008, -19/+52………………………………………………………………………………………………

- DeskFlyer, on 09/23/2008, -6/+38"6-year-old Erica Rix was riding down Daves Avenue in Los Gatos in the back of her mother's SUV on the way back home from soccer practice. Erica was dangling a jump rope out of the window when it got tangled in the axle of the car. -- Erica's mother, Allison stopped the car, unaware that her daughter had been playing with the rope out the car window."
This has FAIL written all over it. - Kerafyrm, on 09/23/2008, -2/+33She's going to be all right.
Yes, she's lost her left hand. So she's going to be all right. - Kn1ghtmare, on 09/23/2008, -3/+33I bet when most Diggers get out of jr. high and have kids, they will be the best parents ever... It's amazing how many people want to jump on the bandwagon and bash the parents when something like this happens. I'm fairly certain that if she had stopped the kid from getting hurt but gotten in a wreck, everyone would be yelling about how she should have been paying attention to the road instead of disciplining the kids.
- anagoge, on 09/23/2008, -0/+29Is it me, or is pedobear popping up more frequently on Digg recently?
- davecachia, on 09/23/2008, -1/+26Ouch. I remember my parents telling me not to put my hands out the windows on a freeway. They always told me my hand would get cut off by a close passing object.
Guess their propaganda wasn't so fake after all. - trpnblies7, on 09/23/2008, -1/+24And that's why you always leave a note.
- HeDiggMe, on 09/23/2008, -3/+25Doctors are always there to give you a hand.
- AlexandraF, on 09/22/2008, -3/+24Is jump rope "jumping" out the car window the newest parent scare tactic?
- SevenTwo, on 09/23/2008, -0/+20High five.
- bills534, on 09/23/2008, -0/+19How does it take balls? Did she have a choice if she wanted to go through with that or not? I really don't understand
- davidbaronmusic, on 09/22/2008, -0/+19daaaaamn
- Cararan, on 09/23/2008, -11/+29I just can't imagine the pain. For someone so young to go through that. That takes a lot of -- forgive me -- balls.
- gavinhudson, on 09/23/2008, -0/+17wow, a good anecdote to support parental advice about sticking your extremities outside of car windows. glad for the happy ending.
- toshimonkey, on 09/23/2008, -0/+17Not really, it just takes an accident. She didn't have a choice of not going through the pain. That's how pain works.
- inactive, on 09/23/2008, -0/+16I broke my left wrist when I was 10. I'm right handed. I remember how pissed I was simply because I didn't get to miss school. Lol.
- coreman, on 09/23/2008, -0/+16No, she had to talk to the bootie, 'cause the hand was off duty.
(thanks to my daughters for informing of that ditty) - WordsnCollision, on 09/22/2008, -32/+46Good for little Erica, but her Mom's an idiot. Probably blabbing away on her cell when it happened.
- inactive, on 09/22/2008, -0/+14Reattached? Wow.
- FongoBongo, on 09/23/2008, -6/+20Thanks boon for having the balls to say what some of us were thinking. Also, I can't help but think of parental negligence. Who lets their kid dangle a jump wrope out of the window?
- ifnotme, on 09/23/2008, -2/+15When I read the headline I was sure it was going to be an onion story.
- TheUngod, on 09/23/2008, -3/+14I always wonder why, when a kid does something stupid, they get called "brave," but if an adult does it, people call them retarded.
- gametavern, on 09/23/2008, -0/+11hello, mother didn't know the kid was dangling the rope out the window.
Lets lock the kid to the center seat and handcuff her arms behind her back. WTF dude. - inactive, on 09/23/2008, -0/+11Yeah, it's kinda getting creepy...
- CarStan, on 09/23/2008, -0/+10havent you heard? His group has over 9000 penises, and they are all using Digg
- pitchblack16, on 09/23/2008, -0/+10i dont like reading about kids getting hurt like that, id go nuts if something like that happened to one of nieces
- tim507, on 09/23/2008, -1/+11Gotta hand it to the dr. for doing such a surgery. It really grasped my attention.
- GRTWHT, on 09/23/2008, -3/+13Actually, this is a good reminder of why parents used to be responsible for insuring their children didn't do something stupid, instead of expecting society and manufactures to do it for them.
- sockpuppets, on 09/23/2008, -1/+11I looked up and caught my kid with an 8ball while texting hookers. You can never be too aware!
- TheUngod, on 09/23/2008, -1/+11She took it home, washed it off,
and put it back on. She was happy again. Complete. - toshimonkey, on 09/23/2008, -0/+10You're either very subtly sarcastic or an idiot.
- neilschelly, on 09/23/2008, -0/+10It's easier to make a rear door that the window doesn't roll all the way down on with the size of modern cars and windows. The fact that some call it more child-safe is just their way of turning a design limitation into a "feature." If that was an intended child safety feature, they could just as easily use the child lock switch to disable the bottom 6 inches of window travel or something.
-N - chrissku, on 09/23/2008, -1/+10I found it...and it's pissed.

- nj10ii, on 09/23/2008, -0/+9You obviously don't have children.
a2fan has it right, sometimes ***** happens. If the kid is being quiet and behaving themselves while riding in the car, you leave them the ***** alone! - ClevelandBrown, on 09/23/2008, -0/+9well played sir.
- inactive, on 09/23/2008, -1/+9Like every good meme, there's a time and a place... Overusing it just makes it less funny.
