the first was that Jared, my seven year old son, just happened to be bending over in the back seat tying his shoe so he was already in the "crash position". His head continued to go forward and down during the crash and he hit his head on his own knee splitting the skin but it was in the eyebrow. No scar or injuries other then what he received from his lap belt abrasion and flying glass which were very small. His was the only place in the backseat that wasn't mangled. The second was that my x-wife only had a broken caller bone, hematoma's and injuries from broken glass. She spent six days in intensive care because of the blood clots. As for my neck, yes, I had some whiplash which still bothers me but the way the cars hit and the fact that I had a couple of seconds, I was standing on the break so hard that I was shoved back in my seat so hard that maybe that helped. Although I ended up shoved up under the dashboard with the wheel broken off and still in my hands. I was in intensive care for six days as well with a broken collar bone, broken nose, concussion, condromilasia of the knee, a cracked ankle and I guess what you could call a general system shutdown and reboot. It was not fun. As I said, the wreak was the single most important aspect in our decision to quit working and "go small but go now". You probably remember that that was the mantra that Cruising World Magazine was pushing at the time. That was before the big boat advertisers got into the picture and that went right out the window. Now it seems that you're crazy if you go in anything less then a 50 footer. With a chart plotter, with a water maker with, with and with.
