Default Safe truck

Regardless of the fact of me not wearing a seat belt and getting thrown from the truck 100 feet the damage done from rolling twice is impressively low.

x2: Wear your seat belt. All that safety helps nothing if the truck rolls over you.

2nd : What does getting flung 100 ft from a tumbling vehicle feel like?

3rd : How the heck did it happen???

Seat belt was my problem only I get Hurt from it. What happened was I fell asleep while driving and rolled at 60mph I don't remember anything after that. I got out with only a concussion. I just threw up the picture because I was very impressed how the truck held it's shape even through that. I'm sure if I had a seatbelt on I woulda walked away with nothing maybe some bumps and bruises

Well you almost got naturally de-selected, just mother nature trying to clear the gene pool of stupid.

I see it as just being unlucky I did the smart thing and waited 2 hours past bar close when I was perfectly fine to drive. But that just made me tired.. only accident I've ever been in in my life. Natural selecting for stupidity is a little harsh :/ I've done my part in the world.. served in Iraq currently going to school no criminal record it's not like I'm a **** bag
