Kim Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Holy Crap!!!! That's awful. I'm glad you made a full recovery. I wrecked recently. Thank gosh I was wearing a seatbelt, cause if I wasn't, it probably would've been alot worse. I made out with busted knee, broken knuckle, cut eyelid, and a wicked bad concussion(still have a knot on my head). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireman31 Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 no i wasnt wearing it, wound up breaking the steering wheel and ended up wedged in between the two front seat and the dash! no good Being a first responder, I can't begin to tell you how many lives I have seen seatbelts save. At least you are okay now. I bet you wear your seat belt now too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YenkoChevelle69 Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 (edited) Here is my contribution. I had a 98 Silverado Z71. Purchased it new in high school at 16 years old. Was going to see my girlfriend on September 5 (labor day) 2005. Anyhow, I got off of work the same time as my girlfriend did. We took seperate paths home to her place 30 miles away. She took the interstate, and I took the windy country road with the ferry to blow off some steam. Well I got all the way passed the ferry, and 6 miles from her house when it happened. I went around a curver in the road that had a canopy of trees over it. The road NEVER got any sun and that part of the road was slimey due to the constant damp condition. I went around the corner, started to slide, locked the brakes up and went through 6 trees. I mowed then over and the final 3 I hit just folded down created a ramp, which flipped me over. I was doing about 45-50 when it happened. Was completely out of cell service. I had to flag down some random people to go get my girlfriend. I had my safety belt on and was hanging upside down when I got out. If I had gone to the right instead of the left, I'd have been upside down in a creek. You can see where my truck landed, there is all kinds of flowers and crosses where many people have died. I managed to flip over all that stuff and not hit any of it. I came out without a scratch. Totalled the truck however. Bent the frame and did 10-12K worth of damage to it. I miss it so much. I loved that truck. Anyhow, time for some pictures. The first ones are on the scene from my camera phone. The rest are of it sitting in my driveway after we got it home.

Kim Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Holy crap Yenko...that's some scary sh*t. After looking at the pics of your truck I still can't believe my airbags didn't deploy when I wrecked. I pretty much head on-ed a tree.
