HOLY S**T MAN! Glad you're ok!! +1 for Ford's safety again. You've got somebody watching out for you. Next time you might want to let the deer have it.

Good that you are ok. Sorry about your ride. Makes you think next time to step on the gas instead of the brake.

Seatbelts do work. It didn't take me long in law enforcement to figure that out. I've seens hundreds of people walk away from gnarly looking vehicles.
Please everyone, let this be a reminder to buckle up. Not to avoid a ticket, but to save your life.

Wow, that is amazing you made it through that! Wasn't quite expecting those pictures. Good to hear you are OK. As the vultures circle, anything available to sell off of it? Are those captains chairs and center console?

Nice to see you are able to type.

you got lucky man, ive seen people die in crashes just like this even with seat belts.

thats exactly why im building a roll cage in my truck, its too high and not strong enough to take a roll. But i wont be swerving for a dear... but then again it aint gonna do any body damage to my truck so not a hard choice for me.

Man, you are following me way too close.
Nah, figuring someone out there who lives closer to him could have a shot at those.

Wow that's one hell of a wreck, glad you walked away! Nice to see (yet again) that the F150 can take a beating and keep everyone safe inside


X2 on what wandell said, to this day I've yet to unbuckle a dead man
