As far as the original post goes...
I once was good friends with a guy, paralyzed and in a wheelchair for life. VERY nice guy and we were very close.
The way he was hurt... He and his best friend were drinking and driving, speeding around town in my friends camero. My friend was the driver. They hit the low part of a curved overpass at high speed. The passenger (my friend's best friend) was decapitated, and my friend survived to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair. He confided in me that for YEARS after the wreck he was extremely depressed, suicidal, and to this day, he wishes he was the one who had died.
I am glad he survived as he spends much time and effort into telling his story to teenagers and spreading the "don't drink and drive" gospel. Too late for him and his best friend, but I *know* his story has an ENORMOUS impact on people.
