People with a platform need to be especially careful. Even we should probably be careful and most of you are but I'm more willing to put my foot in my mouth.

Haskins made a lot of questionable decisions in his life. This was the final one. Those of us who are parents get this - you stop the car and your kid goes to get out - what's the first thing you do. Yell at them to wait and make sure nobody is coming because this is exactly what can happen.

I don't care if he was walking across the highway, or alongside it, or had just gotten out. Getting out of your car on a highway is a very, very bad idea. Unless you can pull 10 feet off and safely exit from the car with room to spare. Even then.

Shit happens and maybe his car failed or ran out of gas or whatever. Call roadside assistance, don't get out on the edge of the highway shoulder.
