English man hit by bus, gets up and walks into Pub.
Getting hit by an out of control double decker? Yeah, that probably warrants a 9am beer.
That window shattering. Dayum!
Would be interested on any follow-up this. A lot of the time when you suffer a scull fracture or TBI you will be completely fine for 10-15 minutes until the blood begins putting pressure on your brain.
Edit: He’s OK!
I remember watching the winter X-games a few years back when a snowmobile landed on a riders head. Everyone started clapping when he got up and walked off, but I was screaming at my TV to get him on a Life Flight asap. He died a few days latter.
EDIT: After some followup I found the rider died of lack of oxygen to the brain from a heart contusion stemming from the accident. It was not a TBI in this case, but there are hundreds of TBI cases every year like I described.
This is why you should not let someone sleep **immediately** after suffering a concussion if they are complaining about feeling tired. **Medically speaking**, sleeping with a concussion is 100% fine, but losing consciousness minutes or even hours after hitting your head is a sign of a TBI.
*clarification
“Welp, time to get fucked up.”
I swear that first drink hit me like a bus…
> According to the BBC, Mr Smith suffered only minor injuries and said he feels “lucky to be alive”.

> Daniel Fraifeld, 50, who co-owns the Purple Turtle bar, said: “I think he [Simon] pretty much got up, brushed himself down and then an ambulance came and took him to be checked.

> “He got looked over and didn’t have any lasting injuries – but he’s covered in scrapes and bruises.
>
> He then got released from the hospital and I think he just went for a pint to relax.”
‘Tis but a scratch
Just one of those days where nothing is going your way. Wake up, try to brush teeth, toothpaste goes all over the sink. Put on a shirt, walk outside, button falls off. Walk to the pub, get smashed in the back by a double decker bus. Stand up, walk into the nearest bar, get forced out by paramedics. smh.
I guess he’s just waiting for it to all blow over.
This is in my home town. I know this place, and there really is no reason for that bus to have been going that fast in this area. I don’t know what happened, but there should be a proper investigation into why the bus was going so fast that it couldn’t make the corner and mounted the pavement.
Was Sandra Bullock driving that bus?
’twas the drink that killed him in the end. Hit by the Guiness truck.
Adrenaline or advanced alcoholism?
He’s like an Oblivion NPC
Geo-location if anybody is wondering:

And here is a close up view of what he saw when getting up: [link](https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.4540109,-0.9730049,3a,75y,48.98h,96.63t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sn__A4L84Ey0AAAQWngu42A!2e0!7i13312!8i6656)
Even better, turn around on the first link and you’ll see the perpetrator, scouting out the scene in preparation for attack.
Fuck you bus, I’m Millwall
Seems like a gta pedesteian who just walks it off not giving any fuck

Fucking Turtle! COME ON READING!
Keep calm and carry on
When you watch [the full CCTV video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLLmwmVWWc4#t=32s), you can see that he doesn’t actually walk into the pub, just gets out of the wreckage and sits down as others arrive to help.
I heard it took him by complete surprise by being on time.
The pub is the Purple Turtle in Reading, Berks, England.
It’s a nightmarish shithole you’d never dream of entering sober.
If you’ve been there, you’ll know exactly why he got up and walked straight in, no bother.
You know who that is? Ronnie Pickering! Yeah. That’s him.
That’s the Purple Turtle! I’m not surprised he walked it off, it’s that kind of bar.
he barely broke stride holy fuck
Man walks into bar
Bartender: how you feeling today
Man: feels like I just got hit by a bus
Bartender: ahh we all have those days
Man: no literally just got hit by a fucking bus
It’s weird seeing my hometown on the front page. COME ON YOU ROYALS!
The slow-mo replay misses the craziest part of the actual hit: the windshield cracking after striking the man’s head. Watch it again from the very beginning.
I am so relieved that this guy is okay!
Now he REALLY needs a drink.
“ALLIE OH FOR FUCKS SAKE!”
TIL English healthcare involves self-medication.
Thanks to CCTV we now know what warrants an early morning beer
Let’s go to the Winchester, have a pint and wait for all this to blow over!
This is outside of The Purple Turtle in Reading.
My town made it to reddit. This is the closest i’ll get to fame
Is that Bruce Willis? Is this the next unbreakable sequel?
As a Brit we dont like to let silly things like terrorism or getting hit by a bus stop us from having a pint first thing in the morning. We’ve got real problems to deal with like the fact its been over 20c for 6 days.
Purple turtle aint no pub.
What’s with the British, are they all just born tough, a month back was that ” I am millwall guy” fighting off terrorists..
