Seat belts....do you always "buckle-up for safety"

If you have a seatbelt going around your waste, you really need to clean your truck.

Better luck making it to the toilet in the future, driver!

 

I TOTALED my Mack and the doors still opened and closed, however, the cab had twisted and the driver's windshield was coming out of the seal, had I not had my seat belt on, it would of been very easy to go through the windshield and possibly run over by my own truck. To give you an idea of the impact, the frame was so bent, the fifth wheel, which should of lined up with the center of the cab, lined up with the left door post. (Mack R Model day cab.)

In my accident, the truck DID roll over, but since I had my seat belt on, I was still in my driver's position, undid the belt and stood up, looked forward and fuel was spraying from the fuel tank onto the engine and steaming, at that point I knew it was time to go. I rolled down the driver's window, went up out of the cab, jumped down between the cab and trailer, (And shut the reefer off on the way by to save it) and ran about 40 ft. from the truck when I collapsed on the shoulder because of the pain in my knee.

Just FYI, they make "Safety Hammers" which can break a window and cut a seatbelt, all my vehicles have them, and they are within reach from my driver's position.

 

Usually if they go down, there's not much left anyway and the FD just has to wash down the road.

 

Well, that's a closed thread, but there's still something to be said for proofreading your own posts. I've also re-learned a few grammar rules by being corrected, or seeing others corrected, on teh interwebs. In that spirit, I think they meant "waist".

"Stop clubbing, baby seals!"

 

See Bullhaulerswife's post concerning most using phones and such. It is the second post of the thread.

 

Lighten up, it was a good-natured joke.

My trolling is much more malevolent than a light ribbing.

Edit: In addition, you posted that link unnecessarily, because I did not belittle the guy.

 

Read the post from Mastertech. Just a bit of advice.

Some do not see the humor and in the past it has gotten to be a sensitive issue.

 

Maybe you should? It prohibits belittling others based on grammatical/spelling errors. Of which I did neither.
