3. how does that even happen?
even if he hit the beginning of the guardrail at JUST the right angle, doesn't the guardrail taper down into the ground anyway? It'd be more likely that you skate up the guardrail and flip over.

4. The screeching sound had to be pretty nutty for a few seconds there.
As well as the 'taking out all the 4x4' sounds.

And then there is the denial aspect.

"No, that can't be what's happening. It's got to be something else."

5. I note the lack of a body tarp.
I can just imagine the look on the drivers face when he/she glanced over and saw what was in the passenger seat. That had to be a real "oh shit" moment.

7. Whoa!
Edited on Wed Oct-27-10 07:39 PM by Sweet Freedom
Is there a article associated with these pics?

Nevermind...found it.

A student traveling in Montana reportedly fell asleep and his vehicle hit the end of the guardrail - tearing off 120 linear feet or rail that went through the passenger front headlight and exited out the driver rear window area. No passengers and no injuries.

8. Yet another reason
why it isn't really necessary to wear clean underwear in case you get in a car accident.
