Thank god for head curtain airbags huh, the ITS (inflatable tube system) airbag they use on the X5 holds air in it to protect from secondary impacts and so on against the side.

I avoid driving while overly tired if at all possible, and if I have to I crank the stereo with some balls out death metal that you can not sleep through if you tried. A friend and fellow tech recently fell asleep at the wheel in his leased E90 and woke up on a stop sign... costing him a front bumper and fog light. Scary stuff.

Glad you made it out unharmed and didn't involve any other vehicles! I guess look at the silver lining and start looking for the next X5.
