Back Alive!

News & General Discussion

I had a car accident on saturday a week ago. Bad weather and a bad corner caused my car to lose traction and fish tale out of control. It then regained traction while in the middle of a fish tale and slammed me across the median and into oncoming traffic. Most of my momentum was still going uphill so the back end of my car continued uphill causing the passenger side to get slammed into an electric post.

I was taken to the hospital and after one night it became obvious I had liquid in my abdominal cavity. Last sunday at about noon I was operated on and they found a laceration in my intestine. I then proceeded to pass the rest of last week in the hospital with no computer or internet access. I was finally allowed to come home on Friday. All my damage was caused by the seat belt, and it is obvious that God had his hand of protection over me! The car is totaled but I’m still alive!!

P.S. Its great to be back to my computer, Maya and Unity!

Damn, glad that you’re alright!
I’ve only ever been in a very minor accident, and I was injured by the seatbelt as well. They seem to cause more injury than they’re worth, but then you think about the crash without one, and… shudder
Well, you’re alive and that’s what matters. :slight_smile:

HOLY COW! :shock: What an ordeal! You certainly are one very lucky person. Best of wishes and good health to you!

wow - that’s a nasty crash. i’m amazed no broken bones with a frontal hit like that - though liquid in your abdomen can be a very serious situation.

so glad you’re ok - rest up get well : )

Holy macaroni! I haven’t see a car that messed up since last playing Twisted Metal!

Huge welcome back Jeff, glad you made it through ok.

Just think… if that crash had happened in Unity, you’d be ok :wink:

6

Wow, it’s a miracle you’re alive! Glad you’re not permanently damaged for life!

Hopefully you don’t need you’re car too much for the time being!

Glad you’re OK, man. No instant respawn out there in meatspace, we’ve all got to be careful - because we’re all family.

I hope you make a great recovery and gain back all of your health points (and a new car)!

Phew, I just saw this post as Forest walked into the room, so here’s all the best from Copenhagen.

That sounds nasty and scary. I’m really glad you are ok and didn’t get hurt too badly.

Sounds like the seatbelt was a real help if you were thrown against it hard enough to damage your insides.

15

I was told during a driving course that if your seat belt breaks, it has already done its job: you will land with a tonne and a half less force.

16

LOL@bronxbomber92, that really cracked me up!
(Sorry, guategeek, no pun intended…) :sweat_smile:

As serious a matter as this is, I couln’t help being amused by this:

Yep, that would be the first thing to worry about in a life and death situation.

Good to hear that you have chosen to continue with your current incarnation.
