Thanks!



An accident attorney whom I just talked to advised me not to settle the medical claim until I know how long the weirdness in my neck lasts. I starting the property loss claim today.



It was really weird getting smacked that hard from behind like that. I was totally relaxed when it happened and just got flung in the seat like a rag doll. Even though Integras are slow, I have new respect for them after this. It really wasn't scary, just very weird and unexpected. But I am the guy who spun his FC into a ditch and enjoyed it.

Why?
the more time you have to accelerate something the slower the rate at which you can accelerate something. the human body can only take so much acceleration before it breaks, the majority of saftey equipment is designed to slow the acceleration on your body by either absorbing the energy or giving you more time to accelerate.

I thought this was the FC, I was just gonna say.. "NOOOOO!!!!!"



Glad to hear you are OK, and even more glad to hear it was just the beater.



Get well soon!

Isn't that the ideal condition for a wreck? tense=break

I thought I heard somewhere that football players are trained to relaxe their body just before I hard hit. I doubt it happens, but it makes sense.
