Look at the first picture below and you can see where this guy broke through the guard rail (right side where the people are standing on the road).
His truck left the road, travelling from right to left. He flipped end-over-end, across the culvert
outlet and landed on the left side of it.
Now look at the next photo.

If it was a Ford that guy woulda been toast.
Cliff... about the seatbelt. If the had gone over the edge the only thing the seatbelt would have done is to make it easy to find the body.
That guy will have to be much more careful for the rest of his life. He just used up all the luck he will ever have. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Bill, what an ignorant, sexist comment. Anyone should know that you can't do your nails while talking on the cell phone. That's when you do your lashes and highlighter (or is it eyeliner).
Cell phone talking has now replaced drunk driving as the leading cause of accidents. I don't think they keep track of makeup. |

To answer the original question: Yes, surely I would have been dead by now without one (or many). |

Where did this happen?
