Inertia can be a real bitch...

The first one is always the worst, Red. Happy you came out of it unscathed. 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.

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

Someone really was looking out for you.
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....

Glad you're still with us. Good thing you were wearing a seatbeat.

I was in a car that flipped over and the weird thing was, I blacked out but I remember hearing everything. When I came to, I was hanging upside down in my seat beat. Only wound, a small cut on my finger.
