Hello Chummers!

Quick question for you rule geekz out there! On page 125 in 3rd. edtion (Thirteenth print) it states:

"Instant death occurs only if damage overflows the physical colomn by more than the character´s Body rating. Therefore a character can take 10 points plus their body rating in damage before they die."

Later on the book gives an example:

"Johnny Skeeky was shot real good. He took Deadly damage (10 boxes) and more. His Body rating is 5, and he took 3 extra boxes of damage. Johnny´s teammates are trapped and can´t get to him. So on the next Combat Turn after getting his deadly damage. Johnny loses another box; now he has only five Combat Turns to go before he has reached the maximum damage he can take. In the 5th Combat Turn, if Johnny hasn´t recieved help, his chummers will have to feed him to the rats"

The way I read this is this:

Johnny has taken a deadly wound plus he exceeds the condition monitor by three extra boxes. Giving him an overflow of three boxes. His Body rating is 5. Giving him a maximum og 5 extra boxes other than the monitors 10. Johnny only got 2 combat turns to recieve help before he´s rat food.

Do you guys agree, or am I reading it wrong??

If the book is wrong, what is the correct rule?

Helpz
