Yeah, so I flipped that motha ******.

Here's what happened..

I was in the fast lane, 70-80, and I decided to switch the 3rd lane. But a van moves to that lane and to me it didnt' look like enough braking room, so I switched back to the fast lane, and from there the car lost control.

It started veering to the right, and I began countersteering, but that wasn't working, next thing I know, I hit the side of the 605 freeway, and flipped 2-3 times. Firefighters had to use the jaws of life to get me out. I was then transferred to the USC medical trauma center.

So far my complaints are body pain, swollen right ear, left shoulder barely movable, and a headache the size of Texas...

All in all, I'm thankful I'm alive. Damn that's an experience I hope I never encounter again.

I'll see if I can try to post pics of the results.


Here's a pic of the damage done physically to me...

Here's where they took me out, notice they had to cut the belt?

Sadly, I miss this ride, but I'm pretty happy where i'm at... where I belong.

rollover tests are done through comp software that checks all the stress points and their limits. there isn't a need for a live test as there are too many angles and variations to check.

Lookin' to get a DA again. I miss that car badly, and I'm in the market for one.


I don't know if it's just me, but maybe these new civics seems to flip easier than other cars.

 

dood thank goodness your ok.

 

Ok, clear something up for me. You say you were in the fast lane but decided to go into the 3rd lane but the van was there. What happend to the second lane?

It's just you... No truth to this whatsoever. I've been autocrossing a new Civic nationally since October 2005 when I bought it.

Utterly confidence inspiring.

 

Wow, so many people have gotten into accident's in the new Si it's ridiculous. I was in a rollover back in august, thankfully I was wearing my seatbelt and we weren't going toooo fast. It's one of those things I'll never forget.

 

sorry to hear about the loss. you're a lucky man, you must have angels watching over your shoulder.

 

yeah i would like to see the pics...glad you walked away, what is your insurance going to do? new SI or ?

 

thank god the fg's are a safe car to crash...mines even been crashed, well I got hit from behind...but no the gay way,lol.glad ur ok man.

 

damnn i guess i wont be seen u at TAB wit the si no more lol well glad ur ok
