yup, i wasn't whearing my seat belt which i dont normally condone, but being thrown from the vehicle is the only thing that kept me alive, i think.
WHAT??!! Dude, you should thank God for making it out of that wreck with just a bad scalp laceration. Most folks that get ejected from a vehicle during a rollover are KILLED! Scarey stuff man. I'm glad you are OK.

bruised bad but still here....
sorry to hear about your misfortune, but grateful that you're still here with us.
I handle all the vehicular fatal investigations in this county and you're right, if you didn't get thrown, it would have been real bad for you. I have to wonder though about the driver's side of the truck, something had to shear off the tie rod for it to be left sticking out the way it is.

Oh do tell.. Thats plenty of damage from "just a rollover". Di it go down a cliff or ride a guard rail?? How you got thru the door, window or windshield is a story in itself.... Seatbelts are important... But in this case... Gees.... Anyway, chicks dig scars.... And you sure will have one. You are so lucky to still be with the living. Twice when I was working 18 plus hour days. I drove home somehow and once I got home was sitting in the den watching the morning news and fell asleep with a mouth full of an egg McMuffin from McDonalds. My daughter woke me up asking me" Daddy, did you get me some breakfast from McDonalds?'.... Thats really a bad feeling to wake up with a mouth full of food...... Its not pretty at all.... You have no idea whats in there for a moment... On the lighter side at least it wasn't an idi.....

That's what happened to me, but I was in a chevy truck at the time. I was crushed pretty bad also, broke my back in five (5) places, and now I have more metal (actually titanium) in me than I have in my truck. I got rods from T7-L4, an artificial vert. at T-12, for fusions, and on and on. Dud, you are one lucky cowboy. Like me, if we had done that in a car, we would not be here right now!!
Brother, take it easy, and I hope you heal fast, and completely!!

All I can say is, wow! Glad you're okay man, screw the truck, trucks can be fixed or replaced, not so much the case with people. Wishing speedy recovery, and make sure you change your story a bit for the chicks Icanfixall mentioned
