Some of you may remember my accident a few months ago where i was run over by my rig while working on it. We'll, i ended up in the hospital again yesterday. I was with a friend on our way to move hay into the barns before the rain moved in and i was going too fast around the curve....my buddy was wearing his seat belt but i was not. The truck rolled 3 times, and i was ejected through the drivers side window after the first roll. I ended up appx. 60+ ft from the truck..... My buddy is sore but is fine. I dislocated my knee and have a few cuts and bruises but am fine otherwise.

Just as with my last accident, I hope this serves a reminder to not be a dumb@$$ like me and wear the safety belts...i probly would be walking around right now instead of being stuck in a chair so sore i cant stand up lol. Im a blessed man for sure.



You can see where i went into the little ditch sideways....



You can see where the grass is tore up from where the truck landed and came to a stop. My mom is out in the field where i landed after going out the window. Scary when you think about how far i flew through the air.

 

Duder! Am I gonna have to come down there and keep you in line?

Glad you weren't hurt though

 

My God man, you live on the edge, don't you? Your a lucky man for sure, glad your mostly OK!! Every body has bad habits but my good habit is my seat belt. Heal fast.

 

Oh i hurt lol! going out the window at 40 and hitting hard pack was a lot less fun than i figured it'd be.

 

I have the feeling i've used up all the luck ive been given here lately. And thank you!

 

Seriously hurt*

And I'd imagine so. Hitting water at 40 isn't much fun. I can't imagine dirt...

 

Im built like a Ford though, it explains a lot haha. Good news though, got my seats! Front and rear, 400 bucks. The guy was a tweaker, sold the motor (6.0), tranny, transfer case, and bed for $400 bucks and 2 30 backs of beer.........im going back when im healed to buy the front and rear axles for 500 so i can turn around sell them hhaa.

 

Wow! What a ride that must have been. Glad your ok. Good thing it wasnt your psd though.

 

Glad you're alright Rob. I saw the title and thought, no way, he didn't get hurt again, but you did! I never used to wear my seat belt. I was stupid when young and wrecked a car and if I would have had it on, I would have been trapped inside and dead. I hesitantly wear it now, my van got me used to it with its "reminder" to wear it.

What's them axles out of? They could make good parts for a truck project...

 

Wow Rob, glad you're ok.

I hear that argument a lot about wearing seat belts. What would have happened in a crash differently is mostly theory. The statistics don't lie. You greatly increase your chance of survival in an accident by wearing your belt.

 

Sheesh rob.I'm glad you arr ok.man,you need to buy a lottery ticket.
i wear my belt....a couple tickets for not and you just get used to it.its prob a good idea anyway as per stats..glad the psd is ok at least.

 

Go buy a lottery ticket.


Good to see that you are alive.

 

Geez man! Glad you're okay, but let's not push your luck alright!?

And I will be one more to add to the sentiment that the statistics don't lie. Seat Belts save lives...

 

I'd say you need to slow down and take things easy little buddy. Next time you probably won't be so lucky...

Glad to hear you're mostly OK. Keep your head screwed on straight!

 

Totally agree with this. BE careful. And yes you are a lucky man
