A Close Brush With Death...
 

At 2150 last night, I rolled my car down a hill.

If I didn't have a seatbelt I'd be sitting in a morgue. Just by the look of the car I should not be walking today.

One of the cops came up to me and asked me "How the hell did you get out of that?!"

I came over the hill, lost control, hit the ditch, rolled across the road and down the road at least 3 full times and landed upside down. None of the doors would open so I had to force one of them open. I remember hitting the ditch and suddenly the car moved like it wasn't supposed to. I started screaming and I saw all the glass shatter against the pavement and it kept going. My seatbelt held me where I was and my head hit the top of the car. It was dark so I'm not exactly sure where I was when it was over...but I was less than a quarter mile from my driveway. I got out, sat down in the ditch...took my sock cap and gloves off and made some calls....

If anybody had been in the passenger seat, I would've killed them.

I came out with back pain....they took me in the ambulance. CAT scans and X-Rays came back good. No blood in my urine.

God has a purpose for me on this Earth and it wasn't my time.

I can't even begin to think how lucky I am. Somebody up there was looking out for me.

I couldn't even read any of the texts/posts from my friends....I couldn't do it without breaking down...

Glad you made it out OK :up:

What car was it.

You are one lucky puppy! Any idea what caused the accident coming over the hill, icy road, speed, blown tyre perhaps?

Someone really was looking out for you.

Inertia can be a real bitch...
 

The first one is always the worst, Red. Happy you came out of it unscathed.:up: Most car accidents happen within five miles of home and your seat belt did it's job by keeping you in the vehicle, instead of being thrown out and crushed by a rolling mass of metal.
We're going to need some pictures as soon as you stop shaking.:03:

Did you notice that time seems to slow down when something like this happens?

Ford Focus.... :doh:

I had a small spare tire still on it from last week....there was a dog at the top of the hill. Still not sure if I hit it or not. I had to have with the way I turned.

So....the lucky puppy.....the irony....

Yeah.....but the only slow part was when on the first roll where I saw everything break....

Your a very lucky young man and I'm pleased your okay, now put the lottery on :sunny:

Possibly a crash test dummy? :hmmm:

That was cruel. FUNNY but cruel.

Lucky lad, close scrape indeed, how fast were you going at the time?

Glad you are OK!

Let me see if I got this right...
You were driving around with a space saver spare on the car?

Check the owners manual, I bet it tells you not to do that.:know:

Captain Hindsight says; "I'll never do that again!"

Ford focus you say :)

That puts a new meaning to the F... Only Rolls Downhill :)

Hey!! One of my cars is a Focus :stare:

My father owns a Mondeo :O:
