Wagon wreck- unbelievable

[UNGN]

UNGN I was not trying to trigger any PTSD. It got my attention being a G-body wagon. For as cheaply as we think these cars were built they seem go do OK in bad crashes.

Only onboard plane crash videos trigger PTSD for me 🙂

We went 450 - 600 feet flipping and rolling after hitting the wall. I wish I hit a concrete barrier that knocked over and absorbed some of the impact and not a dirt hillside.

The wagon damage and my cars was very similar, the frame bend, the A-pillar/door frame/roof distortion, windshield cracks, so the initial impact angle was probably very similar. We did a complete fwd flip in the air and landed on the rear bumper so our hang time was a little more.

Thats almost as the "Dirty 30" wreck.

This guy was at our local "Midnight Madness" several times..................mostly sideways. I wondered how long it would take him to pile it up.

Skip to 16:40 and hold on....

would have been alot worse for the driver if the wall didn't roll over....

Dae-umm!! What got me was he punched that section of Jersey barrier out of the road on his way to a fire. Those barrier sections are Heav-vy and don Not like to move unless you have a large forklift or some kind of crane.
