The roll cage held well though, modern cars may not have the soul of their predecessors but they generally are a lot more safer in their design.  |
There was enough room for a big guy like me to fit still....

I actually found the air freshener from my car in the ditch when I stopped at the scene today.
This is what it looked like last night just 10 minutes after it happened.
There are gouges inches deep all over the road. Looking again at the scene in daylight. I rolled 3 times after my tires caught the ditch on the left side of the road. Rolled maybe 75 yards before coming to a stop.
Luckily I hit the shallow ditch....on the right side it drops off about 25 feet to a treeline.

You're extremely lucky not to have been as wrecked as the car. Hope you have learned a valuable lesson.

I've seen cars in worse shape....I've shaken the hand of people who have been messed up for life from a wreck less severe than this one.
I still can't believe that I'm completely unhurt (although very sore)
EDIT: Not to mention this was on a downhill road
