Almost bit it....


Enter Peace on a cold rainy day in NYC. I jump on the highway in my car tailing my friends. They are about 500 feet up the road when a semi truck cuts me off. The truck throws up an incredible splash and I cant see. I get out from behind the truck to see a traffic jam two hundred feet up the road. I hit the breaks but my car is hydroplaning. I smack into my friends car at 35mph. The air bag deploys and sends my left fist into the glass spiderwebing it. The car does a flip off the back of his car and lands on the roof knocking me unconsiouce. The car catches fire and my friends drag me to safty. A box of .22 calibure amunition cooks off a few seconds later. I am taken to the ER. After a few hours they released me with the option to stay the night or go home. I went home.

Injury Report-

Fractured Skull
Broken left arm
Broken left hand
Two Fractured ribs
Major Laceration on left arm
Minor lacerations on both arms, legs, neck
Burns across arms, legs, neck

I am alive because I had my seatbelt on. I am hurt because my airbag went off.... Wtf? The airbag did more damage than it prevented.

...?

Edit: For some reason when I first read this page no text came up in your post. I couldn't figure out what was going on.

Holy shit that is scary man. I am glad you are alive. Get well soon.

I am just happy you are alive. I have lost one Dragon Wolf before to death, I refuse to lose another.

Take care of yourself and get healed up.

My arms are all bandaged up and burn like mad. The explosive in the airbags covered any skin exposed. Luckily my face didnt get it.

DragonWolves aren't allowed to die in real life without your permission!

Peacemaker, I'm so glad you're alright and maintain a sense of humor about the whole thing. I can't imagine how terrifying it was for you, but I'm so glad that you're alright.

There was nothing terrifying about it. I am just really fucking pissed off about the airbag, the fact that my car is gone (I loved that car), and I have to worry about funds for the future. I need money for a car so I can go to work. I also need to pay for school. This is gonna be a rough summer.

And the fact that all my hard work with a girl from work is prolly about to go down the shitter because the only time I had with her was riding her home after work. Which always took a really long time considering she could walk home.

Wow.. why didn't you stay in the hosp. if you have all those injuries?

About that airbag - it may've caused some minor burns and hurt you a little bit, but I guarantee that if that hadn'tve fired, there is a 95% chance you would've died.

Glad you're OK man!

Yeah the airbags hurt but not more than not having it there.

Good to hear your OK man
