Cheated Death (once Again)

Gold Member Username: Van_manBoston South, MA Post Number: 2315 Registered: Mar-06 | Went off to work Thursday morning. While driving down the highway, I suddenly feel wierd. I start pulling off to the breakdown lane to pull over, then I awake to ppl knocking on the window of my van. I look up and notice im am parked against some trees. I go to get out, and awake to a state trooper standing over me. Seems I passed out due to dehydration, vered into a gaurd rail, went up and over the gaurdrail and stopped at the tree line. got a few facial cuts, soar shoulder, but that was it. Nothing broken, no stitches. Van is totaled due to undercarrage damage. Man I was lucky. Just a passenger in a van out of controll doing 45-50 on a hyway. Lucky I didnt hit something solid. I wouldnt have known anyway. My last thought was, "Is that guy gonna let me pull over or what" btw, to everone that said my set up would fly off in a wreck, Screw you's. That was the only thing that stayed put. All my tools and supplies are everywher. |

Gold Member Username: Van_manBoston South, MA Post Number: 2317 Registered: Mar-06 | i will have pics sometime But yea, all my shelfs were emptied. 1 guy said the van hit the gaurdrail, then jumped up and over it. It must have looked bad, cause 4 cars stopped to see if I was ok. In MA, no one everstops, so it must have been bad. I did didnt even have a seat belt on. |

Gold Member Username: Arande2Extreme SQ FTW Post Number: 2132 Registered: Dec-06 | I remember a time when I passed out from dehyrdation and sleep deprivation...haha a bunch of strobe lights were going off in a store and I guess that just set me off. I don't think it was a seizure I just passed out for a few minutes. DON'T GET DEHYDRATED |

Silver Member Username: Rob1083Post Number: 142 Registered: Mar-07 | yea steroids r definatley hard on u especially if they r used for a while. and the majority of ppl who use them don't know the first thing about doing it properly. even under the best of circumstances with doctor's help and regular tests it's bad. alot of ppl gonna pay dearly for a few years of size that u can't even keep. if they only knew. |
