Seatbelt saved my life!

[97JadeTJ]

No pictures to show but the jeep is totaled!… just got home from the hospital, nothing serious, some road rash on my arm and sore… could’ve been a hell of a lot worse!… A little old man didn’t stop at a stop sign and clipped me on the passenger quarter, rolled the jeep over on the drivers side with me in it and slid me about 75 feet down the road… tore the passenger rear tire and the axel shaft out of the axle…. Rear axle and Frame are warped… Drivers side is tore up from the slide…. seatbelt and rollbars saved my life! My wife is balling like we lost a member of the family… Insurance will never pay me back what I’ve got in that vehicle… oh well!

Hope everyone involved is ok

Very sorry to hear that. I'm glad you are okay. You can always get another Jeep.

That's why she's balling.
Glad you're ok.

Glad you're OK, man! Seatbelts absolutely save lives. Glad you were wearing yours!

Happy you're OK, great news. Buy bag the totalled rig for spares or part out

Wow, glad you are ok!! Seat belts do save lives, I cannot believe there are idiots out there that refuse or are simply too lazy to wear them. Not wearing one killed a friend while he was offroading, it rolled over him after he fell out at the beginning of the roll. RIP TJRon.

Seat belts do save lives. But 9 days ago a Dodge Charger was going 150mph near my neighborhood. It’s the straightest, flattest road near town. It was almost midnight and he didn’t turn at the bend in the road. He literally hit the curb (you can see the damage), flew over a guard rail, hit a giant INW pine and bent it over 40*, the car hit another tree and then another damaging them severely. The seatbelts and seats were entirely separated from the car, both ejected. Engine was in one place, rest of car another. There were and still are hundreds if not thousands of pieces left after the cleanup. Driver died on impact, passenger was critically injured. Don’t know how he turned out. Stupid, but sad. This stuff breaks me up inside.

Took my kids down there to look at it. It’s a good lesson.

Zero sympathy for someone driving so carelessly.
He could have easily killed innocent people.

Those things are insane. Just a little gas and before you know it your sideways.

Glad you're okay. Same thing happened to a 17 year old local guy. Seat belt, roll bar and LUCK kept his injuries minor.

"Stop, slow down...what's the difference?!" Uh - THAT's the M-F'in' difference! As to your post-accident "verbal appraisal", I can only say "Spot On!" Sidebar (as a watch collector): Is the watch you were wearing okay?

 

[InOmaha]

Decent music too.

The other guy must have been blind. Jamming to Stone Temple Pilots. 😎

The watch survived unscathed!
