Actually pretty embarrassing to say that until looking it up just now I also thought that milliseconds were hundredths of a second...

Now because I said that, my airbag won't deploy to prove a point

I've never had an airbag actually work. And I was in a car that flipped 7 times and then slammed into a tree. Moral of the story, wear your seatbelt! The airbag will kill you if you aren't and it does go off anyway.

vatra (02/17/2015) [-] I was recently in a wreck, none of the airbags went off in it. Though honestly the way I crashed and what injuries I got a doubt airbags would have helped much. My new car has airbags like ******* everywhere. My 2003 Jeep had two airbags, neither went off. My new 2015 Ford has like 20 airbags.
Oh the pic is my jeep afterwards.

Awesomecarrot (02/17/2015) [-] Lol looks like you rolled it, I did that to my Fiat Punto (pic related).
I imagine that's why the front airbags didn't go off? Since they only really
help if you hit something head-on.

vatra (02/18/2015) [-] Pretty much! The engine was actually fine, I ended up selling what was left of my car for $500 because the engine was still good. I was rather surprised by that so I even took a few pics of the engine lol.
Oh and the short version is I went down an embankment and rolled / got launched up into a tree. If you want to read the longer version I posted it below.

Awesomecarrot (02/18/2015) [-] Damn from reading yours you seem genuinely lucky to not have been killed.
Mine's really uninteresting in comparison! Basically just went round a corner a little
quickly and hit a wet patch. Started sliding, hit a grassy bank + hedge which
made it flip. Was fine really. Roof wasn't caved much and doors still opened
so I was unscathed.
Shame about your jeep though least it wasn't a total loss.

vatra (02/18/2015) [-] Ahh gotcha, still! That sounds scary man!
Oh yeah, everyone tells me I'm super lucky, which I fully agree with, despite my injuries I got of really lightly.
Yup $500 was more than I was expecting to get, the first couple I got estimates from told me about $300, but that they'd take a few fees out of my $300. This place took all their fees out before they gave their price, yet they still paid $200 more than the others!

vatra (02/18/2015) [-] I have no memory of the crash (I bashed my head pretty badly during it) but from where it was and talking to my neighbors and the local sheriff the best we can figure is this: I was heading to work, I crashed at about 5:30 in the morning. I live in the mountains and the roads were icy lower than normal that day. Most of the way down the mountain something made me suddenly swerve. We figure it was a deer that suddenly jumped into the road because the area I crashed is apparently a deer crossing area. Swerving made me hit ice wrong and the ice sent me down an embankment and then basically threw my car into a tree. About 15 feet up the tree.
From what we figure, when the car got launched towards the tree it threw me forward in my seat enough that when the roof crushed down I was mostly avoided. Not completely, it did break my right clavicle. When it his the tree is likely when I split my head open the window, so that put me in a slacked state, so when the car crashed back down to earth it allowed my body to just bounce about slackly, so I ended up in a sideways position laying across the front seats.
The reason the doors are gone is because with the roof crushed the way it was they couldn't get either door open so they ended up using the jaws of life to cut both doors off to get to me.
Here is the drivers door leaned against my Jeep's corpse. The front door got curved in hahaha.

feindmachines (02/17/2015) [-] most these drivers are ******* retards and I'm surprised they even have a license. this one ******* old lady was in the middle lane at the intersection, we where at the left turning lane, the light was red so no one could go yet, then the light turned green. and you know what happened? right as we were accelerating THIS ******* OLD HAG U TURNED IN FRONT OF US LOOKING THE OPOSITE DIRECTION! AND NEVER LOOKED AT US ONCE! we should have ******* hit her dumbass, not too mention you can look over an 3/5 drivers in cars are on they're phone, or go slow as balls then GET PISSED AND SPEED UP WHEN YOU PASS THEM ON A EMPTY ROAD ON A PASSING LANE! GOD DAMMIT I'M PISSED JUST TYPING THIS!

**anonymous used "*roll 1, 0-9999*"**
**anonymous rolls 8,365**
Cars kill so many people it's crazy. Sometimes people unwittingly die through no mistake of their own in seconds. *snap*. Killed on impact. A car ran a red light and T-boned them when they weren't looking and now three orphans and many sad friends and acquaintances are left in their wake. What could they do? They simply died, it was the only option given to them.
This is a true story.

Ulmer (02/17/2015) [-] This happened to me when my brother rear ended a construction truck. My head hit the dash, then the airbag popped. Just broke my nose, glasses, and gave me a concussion. Not too bad, all thing's considered.
pic unrelated.

bonlino ONLINE (02/17/2015) [-] people argue that bikers are safer, as you're flung from the crash scene (which depending on your surroundings can either be safer or more dangerous) whilst, in a car, your in a big metal cage, which if damaged, can lock you inside of it, or even crush you. but thats what i believe in the matter.
TL;DR bikers are safer than drivers in crashes imo

usernameistaken (02/18/2015) [-] It all depends on the situation, but I strongly disagree with you.
If I drive front-first into a parked car, a sign, you name it. I will likely be flung into that object - in that case, i'd rather be strapped to a seat with an airbag, a seat belt, and various other security measures preventing me from smashing my head and body into what will most likely be made out of concrete or metal.
If I'm hit by a moving car from the sides or the rear, i'm screwed. If hit from the sides, I'd be lucky to only have 1 leg crushed, and that's being LUCKY.
You still have to account for the bike.. the bike will most likely move to the same direction as me, and that's bad news.

Just drive like you're invisible.
Also, you're not completely doomed. I talked to someone online once (I think it was on FJ actually) who was in a head on collision with a pick up truck, while he was on a bike. His bike was ****** but he only had bruised up legs. He showed pictures, and you could clearly see where his thighs impacted and dented the **** out of his fuel tank.

thamuz ONLINE (02/17/2015) [-] I did a wreckage recovery job.
I had to pick up a motorcycle once. One of those insanely powerful ones with the car engine basically(4 cylinder)
Wasn't much left when the kid hydroplaned at 120. Found his head in his helmet. But the Go-Pro survived. So I guess that was something.
