good advertisement for seat belts. The only reason why I wear mine isn't to prevent death, rather to prevent serious maiming. I'm more afraid of being dismembered and/or paralyzed than death

*knocks on wood*

...now if only I could afford a volvo

Number one rule when something unexpected happens, try not to freak out. built in human response usually causes things to be worse than they need to be.

Try to stay as calm as possible, believe me that is a hard thing to do.

Might wanna include Poland in the tags. It's also * nsfw due to cursing in Polish, so might wanna add that too.

I don't think this belongs in EIA, they're driving a Volvo.

Yeah, how the hell is this EIA? Who knows if he could have handled the situation better, but he was purely trying to avoid a crash, how that is EIA I don't know.

Also, they're driving a Volvo for god's sake, they're the least EIA car there is.

So why did they have a dashboard cam?

^Some companies have incar cameras to make sure people don't fall asleep, or solicit prostitutes, or even worse, do that "FIRE IN THE HOLE" drive thru shit.

I'll tell you how it's EIA - THEY SURVIVED.

Go Polska!

I love the WTF? look on the driver's face when his passenger grabs the steering wheel at the end.

Included Polish and Poland tags but not male, brown hair, and Caucasian.

I would have slapped him after getting out of the wreck for grabbing my steering wheel.
Dont EVER do something like that unless your driver is asleep or dead!

^ yeah, but when he grabbed the wheel the driver let go of it completely. I thought that was weird, I would have a death grip on the wheel.

I think he grabbed it just to hold on to something when he realized they were going to have a bumpy ride.

Yeah, that looked like he grabbed the wheel only for support. Seemed like at that point the roll was starting, and the steering wheel had become useless.

Well, they were. Then in 1999 they were purchased by Ford. Now, I don't know, but I'm skeptical.

I remember a while back Ford made Volvo pull an ad for their XC90 SUV because it showed how safe their SUV was in a rollover. This was back when Ford was having problems with their SUV's rolling over and killing people.

Well that door isn't going to open.

Owned by Ford, yes. Still engineered and built in Sweden though. I'm a two-time Volvo owner (An old 240GL in high school and an beautiful S60 now) and they are as safe as they have ever been. Then only difference now is that they are a hell of a lot better looking.

Curva! (* NSFW)

Adding video to channels (Wheels) - requested by schmawy.

If that's not an arguement to wear one's seat belt, nothing else is. That 'Crunch' you ear, would have been his body falling on his neck and killing him.

Unfortunately, with wrecks, people are disoriented, stun, and in shock. They get out, walk around, and generally can not do anything useful. They walk in to traffic, mill about, can not be coherent on a phone with the 9/11 operator.

If your a motorists and you see this happen, get the person to sit down, out of harms way. check for any physical injuries (something metal sticking in them). Call the police or paramedics.

Cars can be fixed and replaced easily, people....its a harder process.
