The Airbags work on the BMW

We're all Ok, the wife is a bit bruised from the seatbelt.

Glass of wine and bed

exosteve · 24-08-2014, 08:10

Glad your OK buddy.

The Patrolman · 24-08-2014, 08:41

Thanks Steve

jims-terrano · 24-08-2014, 09:36

Ouch and I guess main thing is that you are all ok.

What happened?

Paff · 24-08-2014, 09:48

Yeah, what the h@ll happened?

Glad you're both OK

AlexD333 · 24-08-2014, 09:52

Ditto, we must know, self error or drunkard on the road?

Glad to hear your A ok, although signs of whiplash usually take 2 days, I bet you'll be more achey today!

Thanks Guy's.
We're all ok, ish.
The guy came over the brow of the hill on the bend and lost it. he went up the verge and that threw him back on to the road in our direction.
Fortunately it was about 200yards in front so I had some time to loose most of our speed as did he.
He headed straight at us but I got 2/3's on to the verge.
All the airbags work and the SOS system on the phone alerted a call centre and we had a voice on the handsfree phone system asking what help we needed within seconds and it knew exactly where we were in the middle of nowhere too.
My wife came of worst as she didnot see what was about to happen and the seat-belt tensioners pulled her back into the seat with some force.
Again modern Tech really does work. but could have been so much wors.

I did have my in car DVR running and it caught it all.....

I will try to upload a link to somehere soon.

Wow! you could have done without that, glad you are all OK'ish, take things easy for a while till you know for sure, I know when I hit the wall almost headon doing nearly 30mph at Arena in a banger, I got out and felt OK the full race harness took the strain, but the following day I had some pains that were not there before, Rick

The Patrolman · 24-08-2014, 10:44

.

Actually might have been for the best, had she known what was coming she might have tensed up, often you cause more injury when you are tensed.

That's why children falling down stairs ect usually don't hurt themselves, if we fall down we brace and put arms out, crunch time!

Glad both of you are a ok though

The Patrolman · 24-08-2014, 11:02

My son was in the front with me and braced himself. Just a bruise on his leg.
