2. You Can Punch People Over And Over And Never Hurt Your Hands
For those of us who have been fortunate enough to punch somebody and feel their face squish beneath the force of our fist, we know how damaging a single blow can be to the one who throws it. The skull is an extremely hard bone. It's thick and solid and very durable. Punching another human being in the face can easily break your fingers, knuckles, wrist or your entire hand. One good shot can put the other guy down and end the fight, but if it doesn't, you'd better hope you don't injure yourself in the process. Take a look at how often MMA fighters break their hands in fights. And these are professional combatants, trained on the correct way to throw punches with precision. And then contrast that to movies, where guys never hurt themselves throwing punches. Do you know how ludicrous it is that Frank Martin, AKA The Transporter, never sustained one broken hand? That guy's used everything from bicycle pedals to waterhoses as weapons in the midst of punching and kicking about 100 guys over the course of three movies, and never once has he grimaced when connecting fist to bone. So let's say you're ever in the terrible position of being engaged in an all-out war with a criminal enterprise and have been forced to endure all manner of situations presented in this article. You tried using movie logic, and failed. Miserably. You got into a gunfight and almost ran out of ammo in 8 seconds. Then you ran from the men shooting at you because you figured they couldn't hit you anyway and you took three slugs in the side as soon as you broke from cover. So you ducked into a car and attempted to flee, but they were right behind you. You shot at their gas tank and...nothing happened. But because you were leaning out the window like a dumba** instead of concentrating on the road you swerved into the median and crashed your car. The front end was just a little banged up, but you can barely even move. You've got a gaping head wound, cuts all over your face from the shattered windshield and a broken arm. So you hobble away from the wreckage when suddenly the car goes up in flames. The explosion knocks you on your rear and you stare back in horror, thankful and in disbelief that you made it out alive. You stumble away to find safety and trip over the guardrail, landing in a shallow pond at the side of the road. You start to resurface then see your pursuers looking for you, so you duck deeper underwater. After about forty seconds you feel like your lungs are about to burst and you're forced to come up for air. Only to be met by the terrifying sight of the bastards murdering your dog. So you valiantly climb from the water, ready to summon your last bit of strength and meet your attackers head on. There's ten of them and one of you. They circle you, and you lunge at one and punch him right in the nose, fracturing your hand in three places. As soon as you yelp out in agony the other nine guys pounce on you, doing jumping jacks on your ribcage until you black out. EVEN IF all that happens and you manage to survive, don't worry. There's still a chance you'll make it, because...
