Florida man falls out of pickup truck, runs over his own leg

2. Now, Texas Man has to confess without the excuse of being drunk.

Our driveway in flat city, Houston, was rather steep. I pulled in in our Ford Econoline van with a manual transmission. I stepped out of the door and the van began to roll backwards towards a car parked across the street. I reacted by pulling the emergency brake hard. The van stopped, yes it did, it stopped on top of my foot. The pain was enormous. What to do. I was on the horns of a dilemma. If I released the hand brake would I be able to hold the van back?

I braced my shoulder against the door jam and released the brake. I had no trouble keeping the van from rolling backwards because it wasn't rolling at all. I put one hand on the brake and pushed the van backward off my foot with my butt and then pulled the brake.

I don't know why no bones were broke but my foot hurt like Hell. Always put your shifter in reverse or 1st gear when parking, DUH!
