The brutal scene left all residents of the small town in shock. The weight of the truck completely crushed the victim. His heart was expelled and continued to beat even though it lay outside his body on the asphalt.
What can be observed is an astonishing physiological phenomenon. The heart has its own energy generator called the sinoatrial node, which can generate electrical impulses independently of the brain. Additionally, the heart has its own ATP energy supply. The heart is also immune to short-term oxygen deprivation.
The incident highlights the everyday dangers present on the roads. Motorcyclists are especially at risk, as they are easily overlooked but very agile and capable of high speeds and acceleration. Keep this in mind every time you ride a motorcycle. Ride carefully, try to anticipate other drivers, and stay safe!
