how i almost died (pictures)

[Thomas91169]

Dam sorry to hear you almost became another statistic.

reasons like this where speeds like those should only be used under the safest possible conditions(large empty freeway late night and STRAIGHT). just goes to show what happens when you have a 12 second car and a 16 second driver.

you should help him build another car, then sabotage it, when he asks wtf, tell him "now you know how i feel asshole".

Dude its a travestry to hear that this happened to a fellow dsm'er. I hope you have a great attorney to go after his insurance company so that it a swift open and close case, not one dragged out by continuances and such. good luck man and your in the neodsm prayers.

All I can say is that somebody is watching out for you. That car is mangled. You may have a rough time for these next few years, but keep your head up high, keep studying, and finish school. The human body is a remarkable tool and I think that you will be impressed with its healing abilities.
Good luck on the recovery and on the future.

Holy Shit! This happend about 3 miles from my house. I'm glad that your doing better. I remeber hearing about this and thinking damn because a friend of mine had just died in an accident (Pinckney High School Senior if you were wondering). I really hope everything works out for you for the best. Pm me if you need anything automotive or otherwise. Like I said I live about 3 miles from there. Good luck and everyone please remember DRIVE SAFE! --Jon

Thank heavens your back with us

this is something we can all look at and learn from to be more responsible and think about our actions

 

[kottyking]

Jesus.................that is just sickening. I'm glad to see your recovering, and just keep your head up. Somebody was looking out for you.

 

[alexg1323]

some of you guys are real good guys on here. Kills my perception from most local dsmers i meet that are egg heads (figurativly speaking) Its nice to see other itelligent people with with a passion for a strange dieing breed of odd cars. Even though i almost died in one.

 

[andymoraitis]

It's good to have you back in one piece and I'm sure someone was watching over you.

Those pictures literally made me sick to my stomach.

 

[somdturbo]

speechless. Glad to hear of a positive recovery. Prayers are with you.

 

[RipperXX]

Sue him.

Yes, and then when you recover get some friends, a mask, and a base ball bat and find im in a dark area!!

Seriously it's these kind of ####ing idiots I wish would just jump off a bridge, shoot them self, drop dead etc. This is also the reasion I never ride with someone I think will be gasing it unless I know them VERY well.


I can't wrap my mind around how the ####er got out of that fine and then called a friend to ask what he should do!?!?!?? Any half decent person would have been in there trying to get you out or at the very least keep your head from moveing since you must have known your neck was ####ed. God this stuff piss's me off.





Glad your makeing a recovery!

 

[TazManianDevil]

Yes, and then when you recover get some friends, a mask, and a base ball bat and find im in a dark area!!

perfect plan

 

[DSMBen]

I would seriously beat that guy retarded if i were you.

Glad you're doing better now, hell of an accident that was.

 

[whodie126]

Judas Priest those pictures look like the ones they show you to prevent drunk driving. I can't believe you made it out of that alive and I can't believe that dude walked away.
Don't go after him you'll end up in trouble, just go after his money make that dude pay for everything I'm sure your real friends will take care of the rest I know mine would.

Good luck bro

 

[gsx rated98]

Man, thats crazy, really glad your ok, and i defniatly hope you make a full recovery. The scars may never totally go away, but you have definatly been given a second chance.

Best of luck to you man, and your recovery.

 

[MrGudbar99]

speechless. Glad to hear of a positive recovery. Prayers are with you.

i am too speechless. i'm just glad that you're getting better.

 

[m1nd64m3]

Glad to see you made it and are recovering. And the driver sounds like a total douche nozzle.

 

[Nelsons91AWD]

hope you get better man, and i would go after the guys money if i were you, not the beating

 

[Drift_SM]

wow, every one can learn from your story, It's even more of a reason for me to stay to the speed limit, and bring the cockyness to the track.

Im Shocked/glad you ae alright, from the looks of those picture's it seems like no one could have survived.

I have a question, if its not to out of line but...Were you wearing seat belts? How fast did he take the turn?

Best of luck on the recovery, (dont get revenge on him) go get his insurence company!

 

[alexg1323]

i was wearing my seat belt from the second i sat down to the moment i was taken to the hospital as i always do. I had bruises on my hips to prove. Im unaware of the speed, the police report stated the he was doing 65-70 but we may have very well been going faster. Its a 35 mph turn. Ill go take a picture of the turn and the road if i get a chance today if not for you guys but for myself to stare at.

 

[DodgeAvenger96]

Wow dude I am really glad to hear that you are alright after seeing those pictures I would have though otherwise. I hope that idiot gets his licenses revoked for life ( though it wont happen but still would be nice) . But glad to hear that your doing alright. Take care buddy..

[EclipseGSX012]

i'm glad you are okay man. I would def. take it to court!!

Hope you recover soon!

 

[GSX]

Thanks for sharing your story. It gives me the right perspective on the value of life.

I hope nothing but the best for you in the coming months.

 

[firebirdvert305]

Holy shit man, Dude i was wondering where u was at? You havent posted in a while, man im sorry to see this has happened. Hopefully you have health coverage of some sort, b/c hospital bills can tally up pretty quick. If you need anything (donations too) let us know....Really sorry too see this happened.

 

[mitsuclipsegsx]

damm, glad your ok, hope everything goes well

 

[GSEclipse06]

i'm not trying to sound like an ass or justify his actions by any means, but i kind of understand getting out and trying to figure out what to do. when i rolled my car, i had a full load, me and 3 pass. i was in shock, i jsut go out and went around the car looking at it.then i realized i still had passengers inside it. maybe it was because i knew they were all ok (i was stopped when it rolled-when onto a hillside and stopped, then went over) but once i realized where my priorities were i made sure they were all ok, which they were. that said, they weren't screaming either, and i didn't call people trying to cover my ass-i was on the phone with 911 in seconds.

that said, its always the assholes that are at fault that walk away and the innocent people that get ####ed up. i'm glad to hear you're still alive, and no one should ever have to go through anything like that. like you said, perfect example of needing to know not only your car's limits but also your own.

so, are you going to make a full recovery? let's all hope so.
