Had an accident today, I'm fine, but here are the details that I have in hi-definition slowmotion except for the last second. I got called by grandfather to help set up a printer for his brother-in-law.On my way I lost control of my vehicle on some loose gravel on a curvy one-lane road, rock embankment on oneside, 500-600 foot drop on the other.

I managed to avoid hitting the bank in the first turn, then ended up preparing to go over the edge on the next turn. However, I saved myself yet again, but rear wheels were still sliding out over the edge, so I nailed the gas to keep from slipping backwards. As the rear wheels hit the lip the immediately accelerated me and further exaggerated my over-steer, propelling me into the bank going sideways. Car ended up facing about 150 degrees from the direction I was initially heading, on impact at which point airbags deployed, passenger bag cracked windshield, and rearview detached and gashed my ear. - Jimminy, CoG of FF

Thank God, noone was coming around that second turn, most likely we would both be dead, or at least me, the angle of the vehicle means the driver side section would have been crushed. - Jimminy, CoG of FF

Yeah, I don't know if I want to deal with any tech call's anymore, lol. Totalled my car and my left arm is a bit sore, in the wrist area, WoW'ing will be decreased as will time on the net in general, I need to live in the real world for a while. - Jimminy, CoG of FF

Wow, glad you are okay. - Michelle M

Thanks Sean and Michelle. - Jimminy, CoG of FF

Glad you're ok. I approach gravel like it's ice. I don't trust it. - Gus

Whoa, glad you're here to tell us about it. - Derrick

That sounds scary. I'm glad to hear you're only slightly bruised. - Anika

So glad you're alright, Jimminy! - directeur

Thanks guys. ( Gus ), the amazing part is I was only going about 25mph when it occured, GRAVEL IS EVIL. ( Anika ), yeah all bruising except for my left arm I'm missing about 6-7 layers of skin over about a 2in x 2in spot right below my wrist, the gash on my ear, and a very peculiar friction burn on my right pec, caused presumably from the seat belt, but left no damage to my shirt. - Jimminy, CoG of FF

Holy shit! I'm so glad you're OK. Get some rest, sir. Damn. - Moody (Sweet FA 4 Life)

James I'm not tired this happened an hour and a half after I got up, and I feel energetic I'm kind of afraid to go to sleep because of the stiffness I'll feel tomorrow. - Jimminy, CoG of FF

Here are some images that show the majority of the damage outside of my arm. http://ff.im/7diAZ It's all pretty minor to some of the stuff I've seen in the past. - Jimminy, CoG of FF

Wow, that's intense. I would've been petrified. Glad you came out of it with as little injury as you did! - Jandy

Jandy, I got out and continued up the hill for about 5 minutes before I realized I could call someone. I was dazed. Finally called my mom and she made me go back and make sure noone else hit it. - Jimminy, CoG of FF

Sounds like your good driving saved you man. I don't know whether to say you were lucky (to not be badly injured) or unlucky (that it happened) either way I am glad to hear that you are ok. - Matt G

A buddy of mine got pulled over in his Porsche 911 many years ago doing somewhere around 130mph and was amazingly let off with a warning. A week later he totaled it doing 27mph when he chose the wrong time to try to shift, spun on gravel and off the road he went. gravel=evil. - Robert DeBord

glad you made it through - MiniMage, enterRUPPted

Holden, WV isn't that scary to drive through, I'm really thankful for my job now though, have plenty of experience driving. What part do you go through? - Jimminy, CoG of FF

That's terrifying. I'm so glad you're okay. - joey

Yikes, Jimminy! Very glad to hear you're OK. It's amazing the clarity w/ which you can remember those details in slo-mo, isn't it? Try to take it easy for a couple of days. Give yourself a chance to really recover. - Ayşe E.

Ayse, I have a very strong visualization and memory ability, seeing someone in real-life I can occasionaly get a very accurate image of what they look like when they were younger, when compared to images, also have been able to enter and memorize lucid states for several years. The slo-mo was very different though. - Jimminy, CoG of FF

Thank you all once more. - Jimminy, CoG of FF

Wow ! Hope you're better now - Ahsan Ali

Oh wow. So glad you survived, Jimminy. - Micah

Thanks everybody. Micah, I am too, changes your perspective a bit. I was really close to losing it. - Jimminy, CoG of FF

I'm so glad you came out of that alive. Sounds incredibly scary and harrowing. - Spidra Webster

Yikes. Could have been a lot worse, glad it wasn't - LANjackal

Thinking about it it's kind of like the story of Friendfeed, going along smoothly then it lost control when it was acquired by FB, and it regained a little bit of control but we still don't know if it's going to be able to make it around the next turn. No one has a clue yet. - Jimminy, CoG of FF

I’m inclined to think that using web services as omens for your life is a poor idea, lol - LANjackal from IM

It's not an omen, just noticed a similarity, though exaggerated. Also, the last line is great. "We still don't know if it's going to make it around the next turn. - Jimminy, CoG of FF

You didn't get $50 million :) - Ahsan Ali from IM

LOL, Ahsan, I guess I got a raw deal then. No I lost about $7000. Dammit, I screwed up somewhere I guess. - Jimminy, CoG of FF

Sheesh, that is pretty steep... - Ahsan Ali from IM

Yeah, It goes up to about 1200-1400 at the top of the hill, I was just about half way up. Oh, the price, I totalled my car and have to pay medical bills, out of pocket. - Jimminy, CoG of FF

Good that your are ok :) - Jemm

Hope you're not too sore in the morning! - Anne Bouey

Going 25mph and your car is totaled? Wow! That is some wicked gravel! Good that you're okay! - Fajar Nurdiansyah

Fajar, I don't know how fast I was going when I hit, I was going 25 when I hit the gravel and had to accelerate to get my rear wheels back on the ground in the second turn, unfortunately I wasn't think as I did this that the car was All wheel drive, as soon as the rear wheels hit the ground, It fired me right into the embankment, so I hit at about 35-40mph, I guess. - Jimminy, CoG of FF

I really hope you feel better Jim. Man that's gotta be tough. - Friendfeed's Francisco

Sorry to hear. :( - Tyson Key

So your doing it rally style? Good thing that can instinctively drive yourself out of the 500 foot drop. - Fajar Nurdiansyah

Fajar, yeah rally style, with out the jumps, and flipping when I hit the bank, though it was a near perfectly vertical rock where the road was carved in the side of the mountain. I was actually in an Impreza. - Jimminy, CoG of FF

Good grief! Sounds like you were very lucky to walk away from that one. Glad you're ok! - Andrew Terry

This is the closest thing I've found to my accident, everything over the dotted line was the drop off though, and the road wasn't quite that straight, so that turn back he does I was entering the second turn. http://www.youtube.com/watch... - Jimminy, CoG of FF

Wow! You've got my respect brother! Make sure you keep the scar, chicks digg scar -- or so they say lol - Fajar Nurdiansyah

I have plenty of scars, there just in places you can't normally see. Armpit(fish-hook), head(triple-cracked skull), abdomen(hernia), the only one I think may stick with me is the damage to my ear and that won't impress anyone, or maybe the deep friction burns on my chest. - Jimminy, CoG of FF

Holly shit! I'm glad you're ok man! That's one hell of an accident!!! - David Cook

Glad you're ok man! Gravel is some evil evil shit. - G Dub of the Carolinas

SSSOOO Glad ur ok! Sorry that you had a car accident!! - SUSAN J SPAULDING
