My seatbelt saved my life, or I'd have died.

PS Those arrow signs cost $5,000. Luckily I didn't have to pay for it.

They should have thrown you into the slammer for being so stupid. You should have coughed up $5K for ****ing over the taxpayers.

If I had a time machine, I would go back to your crash scene and hit you with a shovel repeatedly just to finish you off.

Looks like Marlboro Chief's mom let him back on the computer this weekend.

Wow. Thank you.

*edit You are right. Money IS more important than life. I sometimes forget that.

Heh, that only took two minutes, Bob Dole is on top of his game today.

I like that fast, take care of business (or trash in this case), gestapo type tactics by the Mods.

I've been married.

Twice.

How many have faced death or the possibility of dying.(by this I mean certain death without immediate medical attention)

1) Did it change your life ABSOLUTELY

2) If it was due to risky behavior, do you still engage in said behavior. ENGAGED IN IT, THEN MARRIED IT

3) Do you ever wish that you had died. OFTEN

4) Did it change your beliefs (good question Laz, Yes I meant religious beliefs and or societal belief) I NO LONGER BELIEVE IN MARRIAGE. OH AND I BELIEVE I WILL GET DRUNK TONIGHT

Yes, I am now spent for the day.

I did take some advil and may have to stay at a holiday inn express to recuperate.

Ang

I've felt death breath in my face 3 times.

The 2nd event changed my life the most.

When I was 21, I had a head on collision in Little Rock in 1992....not wearing a seat belt. I smashed the wind shield out with my head. In anticipation of the crash, I gripped the steering wheel very tightly, which probably prevented me from going thru the windshield. The crash totaled both cars....it was my fault. I still have a piece of glass in my neck from the crash. Had to have an angiogram to make sure I didn't cut any major arteries. However, I wasn't seriously hurt.

I always wear my seat belt now. It did make me more cautious.

I wonder how many have just missed death and didn't even know it. Everytime you get in a car you take your life in your hands.

In fact my chest felt like it was burning every time I tried to draw a deep breath. Had been tiling a kitchen floor for a buddy the night before so I just thought that maybe I had breathed in too much tile dust and was paying for it, never thought it was much much more seious than that. Long story short one of the guys later told me that my lips were turning color and I was extremely pale and told the owner of the dealership I needed to go to the hospital. I remember him coming in to my office and immediately had someone put me in a car and take me to the hospital. I didnt want to go.. just wanted to catch my breath.... anyway... we get to the hospital and literally ten seconds after I went in the emergency room, I fell on the floor. Dead. 100% blockage in a major artery and a couple others that were partially blocked. Doctor later told my family that I had been clinically dead for a little over two minutes... they broke three ribs and knocked out my front teeth during resucitation, and had burn marks all over my chest where they used the paddles.... told my wife that I had flatlined seven times while trying to revive me... had to life flight me to a hospital 70 miles away and told my wife and kids that I probably wouldnt make it ... anyway.... here I am.... I thank God every day that he put the people in the places he put them and that I was taken out of the decision process because I know I would not have voluntarily gone to the hospital.

yes it changed my life and how I view things
yes it brought me closer to God.

sorry to hear this, must have been a VERY traumatic experience for both you and your family. i worry about this problem down the road myself, with the types of food that i enjoy.

Two instances of outright stupidity, with no consequences whatsoever.

First, in marksman classes at boy scout camp, I got a 'dud' and I stupidly opened the breech and peered at the round, then I recocked it, and the round went off into the target.

Second, was mowing the yard at a prior house, the front yard was one of those high ground layouts with a 10" wall separating where the driveway/garage went down and the steps to the front door went up. I was on my riding mower and was just about to turn down alongside the steps when the clutch slipped. I popped up on the sidewalk, and was about to power over the wall when I got the clutch disengaged with one foot, while stopping the mower by planting the other foot of the ground, with a full set of engaged blades whirring between my legs. IIRC, one of the front tires might've made it to the top of the wall.
