Car Crashes and Smashes

An inside look at a car crash situation. I've been in three serious car crashes in my life, two I was driving, and one, a fatal crash, was driven by the person who was killed; The back of his head was ripped away, a scene, at 16, I wish I hadn't seen. Take care my friends: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gua2M...20race%20crash

However, there is something inherently comical in the way that Peugeot spins in the air. I'm sure with modern rally safety features, the occupants were little more than a bit dizzy.

Sorry to hear of your accidents. Been in one myself. Rolled my Fabia at about 50+mph in north wales, and went over twice. Came to a stop on my roof, but I got out fine and walked away unhurt. in fact I hurt more from landing on my roof after undoing my seatbelt.... lol. shouldn't laugh, but looking back now it was kind of amusing in a "thank f*** I'm ok" way

It's quite a shock when your cars rolls over, once was enough for me. My only injury was a seat belt burn as they unfortunately hadn't invented inertia reel belts as yet. Rolling over is a good thing it seems, or so the police officer attending said, as there are usually few injuries. I was wearing a seat belt but didn't fall on my head. The area, I think, was marked up as a " Black Spot", something they don't have now as drivers used it to prove how dangerous these spots were, in their legal defence - Good Luck.

i had a bit of a skating experience in my golf last January, came round a corner (I wasn't speeding or going fast, although in hindsite, probably too fast for the conditions) and hit black ice and ended up perched on the edge of a ditch after going backwards through a hedge. There were no injuries and no other vehicles involved (thankfully) and it wasn't serious at all, but it has made me a more concious driver (i kinda think it helped in a strange kinda way!). The most amusing thing was I called the police to let them know I'd had an accident and when they finally came out (after around three hours), all they said was "this road doesn't get gritted, you should've been more careful" and then drove off! No alcohol breath test, no checking of details, nothing! Amazing!

Forgot to add the outside view of the race, so, quoting from above, here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAtLI...20race%20crash

Wow. I reckon that broke the world record for most amount of spins. I make it 9 times over.

Hi, can't beat 9 spins on this one but can beat the number in crashes. I'm sure these drivers haven't past their tests, good grief, dear oh dear: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzcTF...20race%20crash

This is what I used to do between March and November every year.

I've gone soft now and race non contact. I've also done a car jump and flipped end over end when I landed and also various ramp rollovers and also several rollovers during racing. Glad to report no injuries as yet

Car jump video here (youtube drops the quality really bad):
