I've been in a couple of pretty bad accidents. When I was 17, a lady pulled in front of me on my motorcycle, saw an oncoming car, and stopped in my lane. My choices were into, over, or under. I slid the motorcycle under her car. I lost a lot of skin, couldn't wear a shirt for a couple months, and knocked myself unconcious; but I there were no serious injury.
In 1996, my wife pulled in front of a 1968 Cadillac that was doing 65+. The Cadillac hit the passenger side wheel well and I was the passenger. It definately happened in slow motion and I was suprised to be alive. I was also suprised to have both legs. Our 1995 Saturn was totaled, apparently it gave it's life for us. My family of four had a couple of concussions and some stiches, but we all walked away. We ordered a replacement Saturn two weeks later.
