Wow, did you see the G forces? I am guessing he is about 300 lbs, he pulled 8.x Gs while hitting the windshield...
Wouldn't that be the same as someone smashing a 2,400 pound hammer into your head? I never understand people that don't wear their seatbelt. It is not really uncomfortable, it is not a hastle to remember to put it on if you do it every time. I don't know of anyone that does not know someone that has been in a fatal car accident, so its not like they can think accidents are rare! I drive 45 miles one way to work, every single day. Thats over 22,000 miles a year in just driving to and from my office, I most likely put closer to 30,000 miles a year on my car. I am willing to bet a large sum of money that I will be in a high speed crash sometime before I retire, the statistics would back me up on that one. So thats why I wear my seatbelt, and bought a car with front and side impact airbags, ABS, and stability control. |

I'm wondering why his first instinct wasn't to grab the wheel with 2 hands. I mean, if you're sleeping on the road and suddenly run off, your body will wake up faster than you can blink and you'll be alert. Why didn't he grab the wheel with 2 hands?!

On the third viewing of this, the look on his face hit me. Probably has a wife and kids, likes NASCAR, what have you. Doesn't want to die. Goes to show you that a couple simple mistakes are all that seperate any of us from being snapped like a twig.
I laughed at that one the first time, I'll admit, but looking at his face made me think back to all the times I imagine I had the same one. It's the 'oh no, what have I done.' face--terror, fear, and regret. I've been lucky to scrape by every time, and it seems so was he, but I can't laugh at it. Now if he screwed over people other than himself, I think my sympathies would be against him. At least he learned his dual lessons while he was the only one in the car.
