I flipped a school bus.

One simple slip turned very dangerous when a sharp edge sliced the end of my small intestine open. One of the dangers of having an ileostomy (or colostomy as well) is that the intestine in completely unprotected outside the body, so you have to be a little extra careful with it.
Luckily it seems to be healing just fine on its own. It’s a few days later as I write this and most of the pain is gone, but it was a good reminder how quickly things can change when you least expect it.

I am a 100% disabled combat vet and sometimes I let that immobilize me. After watching your "shit happens" video, I feel encouraged to get off the pity pot and get things done! Thank you for the great example you always are.

[@harrywalker968]

do what you can, never give up. anything is better than nothing.. im not disabled, but have work injuries, i manage, but dont want to get any worse,,it aint gona get better.. the older you get.. 66..

[@DB-yj3qc]

Mike, as another DAV don't let the disparaging thoughts drag you down. With that definitely stay away from the cocktail of "medications" offered or otherwise. Close to 15 years ago I was given pain meds, not a fix for the problems. I refuse to be addicted to them, so no thanks for them or to them. Yes I was being S### on by the V.A. where I was for quite some time with here's 2 different high dose narcotics. Take them, and come get more as you need or want them, but we don't give a F###. Life is short and needs to be lived, seen experienced.

[@johnnawrocki6993]

I understand where your coming from, I've got a spinal cord injury diagnosed incomplete quadriplegic I have to force myself every day to get up and move. Some days are better than others but it's worth the pain

I got definitely concerned when he fell and touched his stomach because I knew he has the bag there. Yes it's strange how we connect with people we never met or know personally.

[@towtruckaj]

Debatable, putting on and removing the chain “parking brake” is far easier than removing a drive shaft after the rollover, and depending on the strength of the busses parking brake it may not have been enough to stop it from rolling forward during the rollover in which case he would have to throw those chains anyway.

[@user-vp1ss8vk2h]

Been there done that Casey, friend please be careful, I ended up with internal bleeding under same circumstances, while fishing a rope got tangled just when I gave throttle on boat, I thought no big deal 12 hrs later I was in hospital.

[@peteturph3255]

Understandable accident, Casey... - Get well soon, Sir...

[@patthornton1212]

I have worked on buses 46 years. several buy outs different contractors. We have had some small wreckers single axle. One of our mechanics / wrecker driver could not get the wrecker to stay in place to pull a bus from ditch , so anchored the front to a tree up the ditch. When he pulled the winch (not in a straight line) it flipped the wrecker over on it's right side into the ditch. We had to hire another wrecker to save our wrecker and get the bus out.

[@CaseyLaDelle]

String line effect. The same reason the middle section of a train will roll over in a curve

[@towtruckaj]

And that is one of the reasons you never want to anchor the front of your truck to something like that.

[@Sand-man1124]

No job is so important, no service is so urgent, that we cannot take time to preform our work safely. Words to live by.

[@michaelsuren8014]

Bell System.

[@davidcaskey4669]

Still going to have to crawl under it to get chain out

[@owendodman3037]

Personally, I will always assume the parking brake is failed: it won’t work. So what you’ve done to remove the driveline early doesn’t hurt anything it’s just saving yourself from rolling in the gravel.

[@timtambornino5297]

When life reminds you that you are not indesturctable, listen. You were close to home where you could get cleaned up and put things back together. Now you know how much you will need on the side of the road if you tear yourself open again. Not the training you thought, the bus flip worked , keeping you alive, even better.

[@stuartroland9605]

THAT hurt,hope you recover ok.👍👍

[@mrmongo6722]

Damn Casey I was just getting ready to say you are a little spider monkey then you go sliding down the side of the bus. Please be careful you have two beautiful ladies in your life that need you around that and a bunch of KZbinrs who like your videos. Thanks for tuffing it out and posting another interesting video!👍

[@user-qr8ki8ue4i]

As an RN who has seen plenty of folks with ileostomy/colostomy, I've often clutched my pearls at some of the predicaments you find yourself in.

[@tigra770]

pretty much how life goes without an ostomy too. shit happens.

[@Flowerpower65]

Hope all is okay. You are an inspiration to others. I really admire that you are not afraid to share your ostomy with us all

[@larsburman4979]

I work at a hospital and I change ostomybags and teach patients how to live with these bags. You are a perfect example that it is possible! Thanks for all Your videos, comments and opinions! (I live in north of Sweden)

[@robertgraham7245]

You are correct. Picture fixed pieces of steel, going from the upper frame rail (on its side), welded to a piece going under the side of the bus, welded to a piece going across the roof. When you pull at the roof on the opposite side of the bus, the only force is acting on that point. Replace the steel with a synthetic winch cable (see what I did there?) and it's just the same. You would have to have snatch blocks in the trees behind the bus to re-route the force around the bus.

[@CaseyLaDelle]

Nailed it. The force pulling on the bus will always be at the point where the rigging touches the bus and the angle it comes off at. The termination of the hook point beyond that makes absolutely ZERO difference

[@goranfredriksson1297]

Precicely, the direction of the force on the bus is in-line of the cable where it leaves the bus

[@quickcode]

Time for inventing kevlar tacti-bag active wear ! Joking aside that looked worrisome!

[@loveistheanswer8137]

One of the best towing channels with straight boom wreckers ive watched is Sumter Wreckers. Mr Hal and crew have two 50 ton V 100 wreckers, as well as other trucks.They are top notch for experienced operators. Lots of channels have rotators. Small communities cant always afford to have a rotator. Nice to see professionals getting it done with the regular big iron. Caseys town is probably lucky to have him with his equipment.

[@George-dy3pt]

Naw Casey's town has a couple rotators!

[@HazzyME]

I was so hoping on the first question to Eathan was for him to say. Go home safe.

Truly amazing the amount of effort you will spend to provide your viewers with real world recovery education. Hope you fully recover soon.

[@TheGrizz1717]

Casey, I hope you are well after that incident. That not what the mean when they said "you have to put more of yourself into your videos." You are spot on with the first contact area(from tow truck) as being your leverage point. That point may change as the bus roles but it is always where the chain first contacts the bus. As for pulling on the window frame, this is a rolled bus it's already damaged. So why not. Buses are built pretty tough for a reason. So why not.

[@aaronmcconnell7358]
