No Seatbelt
No bullshit, no seatbelt. In fact when I went to the wreck yard today to collect my shit out of the broken glass/leather/plastic/etc I could easily tell I'd be dead in a seatbelt by how far the roof caved in. As far as the accident I eluded to in college (150mph) I wasn't wearing a seatbelt either, same deadly roll only I was thrown in the backseat where it was the ONLY possible place to survive (only un-crushed space left).
Yeah, Alabama does have seatbelt laws - actually, despite my positive experiences without them I usually wear one as a head-on would do you in without one.
tbod1 - that's pretty interesting about the girl you knew.. I agree, if I was in a 2 car accident, as in 2 cars impacting (never have been) I would be in deep shit. I did get caught going 179mph on I95 in Miami though (hometown) when I was 16 - license was suspended for 12 months and the police where pissed (especially since they couldn't find any drugs and realized I was just joy riding).
No, it's time to slow down - 6 times, 3 of them unbelievably severe (yet no real injuries outside of a concussion/broken collar bone/chipped teeth) - I've decided my luck will eventually run out.. It's just so much damn fun driving at high speeds.. When I was in high school our favorite game was to out cops & race like maniacs - Believe it or not I had a motorcycle for a couple years, finally got rid of it when I went over some railroad tracks 120+ (which I had jumped several times before), lost control and somehow survived (incredibly bruised and bloodied though)..

When I was 16 a bunch of us were stoned and rolled a van. It was an awesome ride looking back on it. You could see out the windshield and had people bouncing off ya. The worse part was when we settled on a side and slide a good distance. I was on the bottom and my head was smooshed right on the inside of the side wall. It was an erie sound listening to that metal grind.

At least you didn't kill anyone, hopefully you won't kill some innocent in the future either...glad you are alive providing it doesnt eventually result in someone else's death.

Yeah, rolling is something else for those who haven't enjoyed the adventure.. You are able to watch everything spin and really are quite aware of exactly where your car is and you are during the whole incident, wondering what will come out of the middle of nowhere (flying object/glass/rock/etc) and end your life...
Well, came out of this well but my internal/external rotators on my right side are fucking hurting.. Doesn't matter, I'm going to suck it up and crank some iron today (no squats of course) - it's going to be painful as hell... Wish I had stocked up on nubain.

2 incidents of cracked ribs, 1 from football, 1 from fighting
1 broken collarbone - wreck
1 ACL/MCL, knee injury requiring recontruction - football

And a nasty boo boo I got from shaving this morning!
