Default Car Accident

Well guys i am lucky to be alive at this moment. Yesterday afernoon i was riding with a friend when we flipped her car. I was ejected about 50 feet away. I am so sore and beat up. BUt i am alive. Thank god it wasn't my car and we were both safe. We flipped like 6times a witness said. I blacked out and have gouges all over my head. Just thought i'd let ya'll know i was ok.

OMG! I'm glad you are both ok. it sounds like it was pretty bad.
since you were ejected, i guess its a good thing that someone
was watching over you.

Seat belts are a good thing! A couple of years ago I was first on the scene of a fatal roll over where the guy wasn't wearing a seat belt. It's not something I want to ever see again.

Ejections almost always result in fatality....I can't imagine getting in a car w/out my seat belt on. Glad you are OK.....you used your nine lives up all in one!

You definitely had someone watching over you. I met some guy in therapy that was involved in a rollover. He flew out of the truck and it actually rolled over him. he shattered his jaw, broke an arm, both legs, almost had one of them cut off, and actually died for about a minute and a half. And he was wearing a seatbelt. Glad to hear your okay.

Glad to hear you're OK. Like Dave said, "I bet you won't get into a car without buckling your safety belt again".
