All who have been looking for me, I've been in a car crash.........I'm ok and alive
Heya.
Last monday I've been in a car crash when driving home after a job in a datacenter. I hadn't been sleeping for over 48 hours and didn't have time to eat on monday....so at night after I was done I drove home, fell asleep behind the wheel got of the road and slammed into a tree. I wasn't wearing a seatbelt, slammed with my chest on the steering wheel and my head smashed a hole in the windshield..... Damage, totalled the car, concussion, some cuts and bruises, lost my cellphone and severely damaged my ego. I got released from the hospital today and I'm ok....I still feel like I just had sex with a 10 ton truck and have some headaches but I'll be ok.........pics will follow as soon as I get them...... I'll get back to everyone who was trying to contact me......thanks for your concern......:thumbsup |
Hope you heal up soon from it all .. it could have been a lot worse!
|
That sucks .. they say driving tired is just as bad as drunk. glad to hear your ok ..
|
Two questions:
1. How do you know what sex with a 10 ton truck is like? 2. Same car you picked me up in, or the other (hope the first). Glad you are okay. |
Take it ezz for a while

ended by a very bad accident which resulted in 1.5 years hospital and rehabillitation. Through the years have broken almost every bone in my body at least twice......so I have a pretty good idea what hitting a truck feels like :winkwink: 2: Yup it was the scrapheap mobile else I probably only had a paint scratch Hit the tree not full on but on the passenger side which caused the car to flip around 180 degrees which absorbed a lot of the impact. Since I didn't see the crash coming my hand was still on the wheel which had I seen it coming I would have let go of the wheel as I know that's the smartest thing todo. I didn't black out or if I did only a few seconds I was able to get out of the car before people from stopped vehicles were near my car......I sat down, counted fingers, limbs and checked if I could move everything.....then laid down waiting for the ambulance to take me to the hospital. I smashed my head into the windshield which broke the glas but I didn't go straight through it.....so other than a concussion some small cuts on my hands from flying glass and a broken thumb from the spinning steering wheel I'm ok......took xrays from head, neck and hand but all was ok except for the thumb which was quite obvious as it was pointing in a direction it normally shouldn't. They reset that which b.t.w. isn't very pleasant when they do that and supported it with a plastic cover that slid over my thumb and taped it up. I vommited the at first which is why they kept me for 2 days for observation this morning after a last checkup and response test I was released from the hospital.....:thumbsup |
Damn man. sorry to hear. Hope everything works out ok with the car and all., That will most likely end up being a new set of headaches.
At least you walked away. PS. Where are you from?? No Offense, but in the way that you type to express yourself, you sound like someone else I know. He is from Denmark. |
Well, glad you are okay, but if we are going to do any biz you are going to have to keep yourself alive. ;)
|
sounds harsh man...hope your recovery is quick.

I won't let this happen again.....it was combi of sleep deprivation, no food which made me feel cold....especially after just have worked for 3 hours on a very cold datacenter floor. I was hungry and thirsty as the airco's dehydrate you fast....the canteen soda machine was sold out which led to the far from ideal situation to step into my car and drive home. I had the car heating on steamy hot as I had chils running down my spine.....and that's the perfect ingredient for dissaster as I've learned...... I never wear a seatbelt which I know is stupid.....but just one of those things you do till something happens....so I'll now probably wear it for a few months till I've forgotten about it and fall back to being stupid.....:winkwink: I wasn't speeding at all or driving reckless....I was driving an old shabby banger which isn't the ideal vehicle to drive when testing trees....but all in all I wasn't in a life dangerous situation at any time....I could have broken a few more bones at most....the speed wasn't high enough to get me very serious injured or even killed........my ego hurts most at the moment being someone who has been racing bikes and cars since the age of 3 this is something I was always convinced would never happen to me......lesson learnt....note to self....when tired let someone else drive me home....:thumbsup |
Another Kanye West incident.

Glad you're ok man. get well soon.

injected anything into my body though.....it's a 15 mile drive from where I was to my house which I drive everyday, it's back road with hardly any traffic but yeah it could have ended worse.......luckily it didn't...... If I were you I'd be cautious with pointing the finger at the stupidity of others that's quite often the best way of getting your ass in a similar situation so others can laugh back at you.....been there, done that, got the shirt It's easy to get mad at the mistakes of others.....but the fact is every now and then we all make a mistake or do something stupid.......easy to say afterwards.....djeez that's stupid.......better watch out you don't do it yourself....coz though you're right....you won't be able to convince me that you never have done something wrong or stupid which could have led to something worse than it did....... I'm a very experienced driver, never had ANY accidents over the 17 years that I have my drivers license and I drive well over 50K miles a year.....I know that doesn't make this mistake right......but it does show I don't have a habit of unsafe driving.......... I know you only tried to add some insult to injury which had you known me a little better you would have known not to work.....but nevertheless good attempt sport......keep trying one day you might pull it off :1orglaugh |

language and I speak another 4 languages equally well......I know it's not perfect but even my dutch isn't perfect.....and it's enough to get my point across...thanks for your well wishes....I appreciate that :thumbsup |

to drive........When I stepped in I didn't feel that I wasn't able to drive....I was wrong and looking back it wasn't smart to do.......so yes it was stupid but I certainly didn't deliberately try to put myself and others in danger...... It was a good lesson and I'm sure I won't step behind the wheel in a similar situation again....but as I said I didn't feel to beat up when I got into the car....and still decided to go for out....I've been tired before while driving and more than once I decided to park the car and take a nap instead of continuing my journey......I fully know the dangers....but still got caught by suprise........I don't feel bad or feel guilty for taking a wrong decision as I know I didn't have any doubts about when I stepped into my car and drove off..... :2 cents: |
Glad you're ok.
|
Thanks for the well wishes everybody I'm gonna leave it with that. I don't feel
the need to further discuss this in detail...I just wanted to inform a bunch of people with what happened and let everyone known I'm ok and will survive... no other people have been hurt in the accident and I got told even the tree will make a full recovery......thanks everyone and for the haters...sorry to inform you I'll stick around for another while :thumbsup |
Glad you survived, get well soon.

Wear your damn seatbelt!

Get well soon dude.
I fell asleep driving a car myself once... I was driving from palm springs to phoenix, it was a long straight road, very hot, and I just nodded off... Skidded off the road and got hurt... Its easily done :) What was funny was the two guys who witnessed it and stopped to help me... The first guy was in a car alongside me as I left the road, and he seemed so concerned for my welfare, you would have been mistaken for thinking he was direct family to me... The other guy, driving a truck behind me, was like... Dude! Awesome ! You should have seen it from back there... Wish Id had a video camera... :) :LOL |
Nice to see your driving skills are on the same level as your server skills

and white lines in front of me when I hit the tree......I wasn't totally gone that's the first I thought about.....like WTF I was driving on the road 1 second ago......obviously I wasn't, it happened in a slight bend.....I didn't follow the bend just went straight ahead of on the grass and in to the tree.....it was a small back road with LOTS of trees next to it within 2 meters from the road itself, after the tree a levy and then a bigass river.....I'm glad I met the tree else I'd have made a spectacular jump into the river......I would have survived that too, I've been in the water inside a car several times on a training....in a swimming pool and because of my racing background I don't panic when I crash......but the water would have been quite cold....and me no like cold.........besides my laptop got out undamaged.....that would have been different if I'd gone into the water :1orglaugh |

I'm saying I don't have a habit of doing stupid things in traffic.....I'm very aware of the dangers and I'm usually very carefull when attending traffic....even more cautious than most others on the road.....but it shows that that doesn't mean that you can ever be cautious enough or excempt from getting into accidents. I have to admit that I sometimes think I won't because of being cautious..... |

when being on a heavy drinking binge......but today my head is as bald as a baby's ass......I smoke rolling tobacco....so these days I use that as a reference method.....as long as I'm still able to roll a ciggy....I'm ok....when I can't roll a ciggy anymore that means.....time to try to manage getting myself into bed. :1orglaugh p.s. I did manage to roll a ciggy right before I left......:winkwink: |
