Poor Smashed X

WOW....and he was not wearing a belt and still walked away? He needs to play the lotto.

Ouch! That hurts. Those 132s are badly damaged.

imho he only walked away because he wasn't wearing a seatbelt. otherwise he would be smashed like the left side of the vechicle.
p.s. is he saying the left front door iss still opening?

[AutoXer]

Wow, just glad that your friend is ok!

[B&DCalgary]

Trust me, not true. He would have been shoved a bit over to the right, but not harmed nearly as much as you imagine, had he been wearing the seatbelt.

My own major crash 4 years ago left my vehicle looking not a whole lot better than this, and I thank God I was wearing my seatbelt (and had airbags, and was driving a German car).

I have seen many dead people, and those nearly dead, from being ejected from the vehicle. It isn't a pretty sight.

You have a 40% higher chance of living while wearing a seatbelt than not wearing it.

Did you sustain any injuries?

Good o'le steel and engineering. Glad your friend was ok. At least i feel safer now going 120mph Since a lot of members are interested in the salvageable parts, just wanted to know if he'll decide to sell the aluminum running boards if their still ok.
