| Re: Beware of Airbag Deployment Well, I have never been in an accident driving, but I was in a bad one with a friend... sort of. It looked far worse than it really was.
So my friend Bill had just bought a Pontiac Grand Prix and he wanted to test out the wider is better marketing. He took a corner at 60, slid off the road, spun back across the road, and flipped into a tree. I'm not sure how it happened, but somehow we flipped and landed right next to the tree. The tire marks stop like 3 feet in front of the tree. I think we were pretty lucky, especially me since it would've been the passenger side going right into the tree.
Anyhow, my one friend Mark flew out the back window. He said he just kind of tucked and rolled. He got pretty beat up. My only complaint was because we landed upside down, I hit my head on the ceiling when I released my seat belt. I cut my hand crawling out the back window too.
Then the cops accused of being drunk. And finally, because we had only made it like a mile from my friends house, we just walked home. His parents (Mark's) were like, "uhhh where's the car?!" We explained, his mom didn't believe us, so we showed her. And she freaked. And I laughed. |
