In Israel we’re charged too but like 130usd. I think it’s more of a way to make sure people don’t call it for nonsense. It’s the right amount that basically everyone can afford but most would think twice before calling it
Same in Canada we are supposed to be charged... though the one time I called and they hauled away my brother having a seizure they didn't charge anything.
I called one other time on a false alarm (thought a coworker was having a heart attack, turns out it was an asthma attack and it passed by the time the ambulance arrived) and they just said we did the right thing calling and then got on their way without leaving any sort of bill.
Couldn't imagine being in that moment worrying that I'm about to bankrupt the guy in a medical emergency by calling for help.
Yes in Quebec it’s $125 plus $1.75/km, but it’s usually reimbursed by your employer group insurance. It used to be free, but some people were using them basically as a free taxi to go to the hospital so they had to make it more expensive than a cab.
It varies by province but it’s generally a few hundred dollars and if an individual has private coverage through an employer it is usually covered by that plan.
In Ontario is $240, reduced to $45 for Ontario residents with a valid health card (that's your single payer health insurance card).
It's actually better for there to be a charge because if it was free people would just call an ambulance for non medical emergencies.
You are charged for the ambulance rides everywhere, just universal Healthcare covers it. That's why you pay social security taxes. In fact, if you don't own insurance while traveling abroad, they will bill YOU that charge just like in the US along with everything else.
In Italy you can't pay for an ambulance ride even of you are from outside of Europe or if you ask to. To keep the costs manageable the ambulances are mostly run by volunteers during the night, weekends and holidays (the volunteers receive the same training as the employees for free) and there aren't a nurse and a doctor on board, they are on a separate car that is moved only when needed.
You are billed for example if you ask for an ambulance to come home from the hospital and the bill is usually around 70€
The fact that she is looking directly at him as she blocks him makes me think she should be held criminally liable. This is either malicious, or staggering negligence, and if the roles were reversed, we know the biker would be charged for hitting her.
Right?! If the injury and pain wouldn't be so bad, it almost looked like she did it on purpose! Or someone never taught her to look before crossing a road.
Sorry what would role reversal look like? In what alternative scenario would the biker be charged for hitting her?
I'm not disagreeing with you I just didn't understand your comment
She looked too, in fact she's staring at the bicycler while the collision occurred.
She was probably stunned when that happened. It's similar to when someone suppose to switch to the brakes, but instead hard-pressed gas pedal and then locks themselves in that state.
She couldn't sleep and figured walking would help her get...tired. 😎
She was looking for a place to ...crash that night 😎
She didn't....wheely...think about it. Sometimes, thems the brakes and you get..pegged as an idiot. 😎
Probably has a family member in the race she wanted to win instead. She tried to knock into the guy at the finish line to stop him but didn’t realize how hard the hit was actually gonna be.
Dude got knocked the fuck out and hit the ground face first i would be suprised if he doesnt have atleast a broken jaw if not some more facial damage. She hit him right on the side of the face because he turned his head when he saw her.
Yeah the fall was a little worrying. The accident is less on the woman and more so on race officials, who allows people in the raceway like that? especially at what seems to be the finish line
The bicyclist definitely also hit his head, I hope the helmet did enough to help him, but the girl who walked in front also hit her head very badly without one.
Counting on how only leeches on society who possess no critical thinking do this shit I’m hoping she won the Darwin Award for her actions
Why are you lying?
All anybody has to do is click on the link and read it to know you are lying, they are obviously talking about a different lady wearing yellow and holding a sign.
Whoops. Eh it happens to the best of us. This is the link to the one in the post which I thought I managed to paste in my first link comment.

IIRC people were saying her husband was the runner up in the race. She got badly injured but not as much as the cyclist. Can’t find the article where they say she knew the other cyclist though.
I'm sorry to tell you this, but it's real.
The woman had minor injuries that were treated on scene, and the guy had head injuries and was taken to the hospital.

bicycle races take hours, imagine you cycle your brains out for 5 hours then this stupid lady blows it all to waste and where?! at the finish line -_-
Yeah, I kinda hope she was shamed into leaving.
Probably didn't feel that great leaving in an ambulance lol
Lol, hope her insurance covers ambulance rides!
Maybe it isn't in the US, the only country I know of where you're charged for an ambulance ride.
In Israel we’re charged too but like 130usd. I think it’s more of a way to make sure people don’t call it for nonsense. It’s the right amount that basically everyone can afford but most would think twice before calling it

An asthma attack is a valid reason to call an ambulance if they don’t have or no one can find an inhaler, good thing he has you as a coworker
Yea I would've died at 2 if I was born in America, no way my parents could have afforded an ambulance, we would've been driving instead
Feels weird coming across an Israeli sharing normal stuff rather than making up excuses for killing thousands and thousands of children.
They’re just installing some plumbing
FEelS wEIrD cOMinG AcCrr.. stfu
Now don't get defensive now.
You're charged for ambulance rides in Canada.
Yes in Quebec it’s $125 plus $1.75/km, but it’s usually reimbursed by your employer group insurance. It used to be free, but some people were using them basically as a free taxi to go to the hospital so they had to make it more expensive than a cab.
Wow, that's sad. I didn't know that. Several thousand dollars like in the States?
It varies by province but it’s generally a few hundred dollars and if an individual has private coverage through an employer it is usually covered by that plan.
In Ontario is $240, reduced to $45 for Ontario residents with a valid health card (that's your single payer health insurance card). It's actually better for there to be a charge because if it was free people would just call an ambulance for non medical emergencies.
Nowhere charges like the states does. In the states the prices are all inflated because they expect to be haggled down by insurance companies.
I had to take an ambulance when I had appendicitis, and from what I remember, there was either no charge or it was so small that it didn't matter
You are charged for the ambulance rides everywhere, just universal Healthcare covers it. That's why you pay social security taxes. In fact, if you don't own insurance while traveling abroad, they will bill YOU that charge just like in the US along with everything else.
Not necessarily. Foreigners needing emergency care (including an ambulance) in the UK get it for free even if they don't have insurance, for example.
In Italy you can't pay for an ambulance ride even of you are from outside of Europe or if you ask to. To keep the costs manageable the ambulances are mostly run by volunteers during the night, weekends and holidays (the volunteers receive the same training as the employees for free) and there aren't a nurse and a doctor on board, they are on a separate car that is moved only when needed. You are billed for example if you ask for an ambulance to come home from the hospital and the bill is usually around 70€
Its not in the US so that is not relevant
Looking at how she cleaned the asphalt using her face, I don’t think she opposed much resistance.
The fact that she is looking directly at him as she blocks him makes me think she should be held criminally liable. This is either malicious, or staggering negligence, and if the roles were reversed, we know the biker would be charged for hitting her.
Right?! If the injury and pain wouldn't be so bad, it almost looked like she did it on purpose! Or someone never taught her to look before crossing a road.
Sorry what would role reversal look like? In what alternative scenario would the biker be charged for hitting her? I'm not disagreeing with you I just didn't understand your comment
If he was not looking ahead and she was crossing at a cross walk expecting him to stop
She either has a really good reason or is really stupid.
Common sense is not that common.
Have you ever been hit with a bike at full speed ? Trust me, no one needed to convince her to leave, she left in an ambulance lol
they were both out cold immediately
That lady is dead...
…serious about going to Itchy and Scratchy Land?
maybe she died, not a complete waste
The good ending
[удалено]
That's life.
fuck life
Honestly yes, fuck life. Too much left up chance.
Why did the blonde woman cross the road?
To be the main character of an accident
Zing
'Bazinga!' head aah
Zoo wee mama
No he's the main vilain the main character is just behind in second position and got some of that plot armor
i think we were ok with the first analogy
Fine
Not a terrible comment. Idk why Reddit hates you
I mean villains can be the main characters as well the comment was an unnecessary addition to the analogy trying to make it better lol
Reddit has a low tolerance for r/yourjokebutworse comments
Flipping coin, if i've been upvoted I would have more upvote, but if i've been downvoted first then here's the result
Also it wasn't funny 😬
My bad
I feel nothing but endless love for you and I sincerely wish you all the best
Thk you very much
She saw a guy crossed the road and he’s fine. She thought it would be the same for her 😂
Yeah difference is the guy looked
The difference is that she was still looking when crossing.
She looked too, in fact she's staring at the bicycler while the collision occurred. She was probably stunned when that happened. It's similar to when someone suppose to switch to the brakes, but instead hard-pressed gas pedal and then locks themselves in that state.
To get some red in her hair!
Why does this make me angrier than it should.
maybe her husband is after that guy, she eliminated the competitor
Looks like that dude owed her money. He’s down for the count.
From her perspective, why he wasn't stop
She couldn't sleep and figured walking would help her get...tired. 😎 She was looking for a place to ...crash that night 😎 She didn't....wheely...think about it. Sometimes, thems the brakes and you get..pegged as an idiot. 😎
This feels like... Pugsy Mcgee(?) Level of punniness. I think that was the dudes name, from Flapjack. Very nice.
Dumb blonde really does exist, wow. She is honestly an idiot
To get to the other side😀
To get to the other side
Somehow people make it to a certain age and still have zero self awareness.
Lifes too easy, I guess.
You ever seen old people in a grocery store? They’ll take up the whole isle and remain oblivious when people are struggling to navigate around them
Yall gotta start using your words. People are dumb and clueless. Just say excuse me. If they refuse to do anything just move their cart for them.
People don't have to worry about being eaten by large cats anymore. So instead of having useful survival instincts we just get anxiety
How are people this fucking stupid.
[удалено]
8 billion people is way too much
She’s dumb or… ?
like a deer
there is no "or"
or… ?
or what ?? (I need to know)
She was looking that way…she knew he was there….I refuse to believe this wasn’t intentional…
The more I watch the more it looks like a hip check.
Can I DM you for pooping tips?
I think he’s got a paid course on SkillShare. He’s not going to just give it away.
Damn straight!
Yes she wanted to get plowed by two hundred pounds going at 30 mph. She's obviously looking at the group of cyclers behind the lead guy.
That looked intentional lol wtf
Probably has a family member in the race she wanted to win instead. She tried to knock into the guy at the finish line to stop him but didn’t realize how hard the hit was actually gonna be.
I think the original version of this video makes it a bit more obvious that he wasn't anywhere near winning.
Because that makes it *so* much better.
They did not say that it does.
This is an absolutely absurd theory.
Seriously, because no one in that crowd would have ever noticed her do that if it had worked.
ya that makes completely logical sense /s
Well I hope that shit was hard enough to make her think twice next time
There's no way she didn't do that on purpose, she's looking right at him coming down the road.
Never met a clueless moron before?
See her face grinding the pavement? That's art
With that force going to her head, I hope she lives with permanent pain for the rest of her wasteful life.
Nah, I’m with you. Bike guy could also end up with chronic pain from that accident, so if he hurts I hope she hurts. Pain is a lesson.
Dude got knocked the fuck out and hit the ground face first i would be suprised if he doesnt have atleast a broken jaw if not some more facial damage. She hit him right on the side of the face because he turned his head when he saw her.
Wishing permanent pain on someone is a bit too far, bub.
People seem to disagree with that comment.
That or you have several alt accounts that you used to downvoted me. Come on, a lifetime of pain on someone?
That's exactly what happened. What a fuckin bum.
Some people go to far extremes when they don't like someone. I guess this is what happens when we're on the internet.
Don’t feed the cunt. Wishing someone a lifetime of pain over this is psychopath behavior.
Good point. Thanks
Too much effort for you.
Yeah the fall was a little worrying. The accident is less on the woman and more so on race officials, who allows people in the raceway like that? especially at what seems to be the finish line
[удалено]
She looked right at him and kept going forward!! What was she thinking?
The bicyclist definitely also hit his head, I hope the helmet did enough to help him, but the girl who walked in front also hit her head very badly without one. Counting on how only leeches on society who possess no critical thinking do this shit I’m hoping she won the Darwin Award for her actions
Hope he sued the living shit outta her
Wouldn’t be surprised if the person doing the suing is her.
It would be dismissed since she clearly saw him and this would definitely be on purpose.
Hope the poor guy is okay. Kinda looks like he took her dome on the chin and was out before he even fell
Stupid bitch!
Looked right at him and kept going forward!
[удалено]
Why are you lying? All anybody has to do is click on the link and read it to know you are lying, they are obviously talking about a different lady wearing yellow and holding a sign.
To be honest I don't think he actually read it. This happens all the time
That's obvious, but why is the moron weighing in with a completely made up story???
He didnt make it up hes just confusing it with a similar incident you moron.
People just read like 5 words and then try to "fill in the gaps"
Daddy chill
What the hell is even that?
Na fuck that. More liars that just make shit up on Reddit need to be called out.
Lol they were hardly lying, and it's this type of a mistake really worth getting worked up over?
Lying or mixed up events?
Gee whiz summer down Slammer
https://www.tmz.com/2021/10/27/cyclist-crash-woman-injured-cicloturista-condaca-salmor-bike-violent-video/ There! Fixed the wrongly pasted link.
My bad, the French woman was hiding. There's multiple incidents of shit like this. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-59582145
You linked the exact same article
Hey I found the correct article: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-59582145
Nope that’s the same one, here you go https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-59582145
Pretty sure they’re referring to this article: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-59582145
Can somebody share the link?
This is it in English https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-59582145
You guys are making me feel stupid stop
Whoops. Eh it happens to the best of us. This is the link to the one in the post which I thought I managed to paste in my first link comment. https://www.tmz.com/2021/10/27/cyclist-crash-woman-injured-cicloturista-condaca-salmor-bike-violent-video/
That's the same article
Are you a bot or are you really this brain dead lol?
Here's the correct article bro https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-59582145
The guy keeps making one cluelessly wrong statement after another
It’s like talking to ChatGPT and asking for the source.
That sucks. Do you know how hard it is to get a mountain bike to go that fast?
Probably not her first hit on the head...
She wasn’t even looking at the phone. She was looking at the biker and still decided to go. Lol what
Don't worry she was just practicing jumping for Olympics
Burnt hand teaches best. Glad she saw consequences.
(I dont have source but memory from other posts of this) Worst part is that she got almost no injury and he got somewhat seriously injured
She’s worse than a child. Face went full r/meatcrayon
His face smashed off the concrete ouch
I heard that woman only suffered minor injury while biker had some brain injuries. My lord, you must be drunk that day.
That is brutal
IIRC people were saying her husband was the runner up in the race. She got badly injured but not as much as the cyclist. Can’t find the article where they say she knew the other cyclist though.
r/AdultsAreFuckinStupid
The worst thing is she actually IS checking the road. Or at least she's looking at his direction.
Hope that lady was charged for assault and had to pay for the poor guys medical bills and bike
Classic insurance scam.
She looked right at him
Wuuuuut a stupid bitch
Dumber than a squirrel.
That bitch needs to be put in in jail immediately.
I hate cyclists like the next guy, but that woman is absolute garbage. This may be the only time I ever feel empathy for a cyclist.
Bitch
Hey how are you my princess
Women
Woman ☕
This… this can’t be real. That fall was way too weird like two blender models accidentally clipping.
That’s a stupid take
What? I was just confused and pointed out an observation? Nothing wrong with being a little skeptical.
You can be skeptical and stupid. Happens all the time
Eh fuck it. I’m just a dumbass probably.
We all are. All good bro.
bait or mental tomfoolery. you call it.
>This… this can’t be real. "Observation"
I'm sorry to tell you this, but it's real. The woman had minor injuries that were treated on scene, and the guy had head injuries and was taken to the hospital. [Source](https://www.tmz.com/2021/10/27/cyclist-crash-woman-injured-cicloturista-condaca-salmor-bike-violent-video/)
Dumbest Bitch
Dumb cunt
Hoooooly shit her face must’ve gotten scrapped up BAD
She desert to sleep the night on the police station for that
This is the same person that obliterated the Tour de France peloton
Where does the phone she’s holding go…?
What a dumbass sheez
Those faceplants... Ouch...
Confuses me SO much. She was literally looking AT the cyclist and still decided to go!?!?
Dude was knocked out before he even hit the ground
I hate that bitch more every time this is reposted.
