Dilmer, six-foot-three, two hundred eighty pounds, was thrown from his seat when the Southern Railway train he was riding derailed. The giant teenager flew a dozen feet through the air before hitting headfirst against a steel partition. For a moment Dilmer lay dazed, rubbing his head. The conductor came by and kneeled down beside him. “Don’t move!” said the conductor. “We’ve called an ambulance.” “Naw,” said the boy, getting to his feet. “I ain’t hurt so bad. That steel wall musta broke my fall!”
