Well I spent 9hrs in the emergency room on Tuesday
I was headed to Yosemite to do some work on a customers network on the way I was going through a turn and lost traction due to loose gravel on the road and I was instantly falling down a 500+ foot cliff. I only made it about half way down before a tree stopped me. The car rolled, more like it somersaulted, several times and threw the contents of my car down the side of the mountain. Which included several customer PCs, 1000ft of Cat5e, my laptop, and cable testing equipment. Thank God I did this in front of a wilderness rescue teem headed the opposite direction and they saw the whole thing. And I was taken to the Local hospital in roughly 30 mins. The hospital's x-rays showed I had a broken neck and they believed that I had a broken ankle as well. So I was air lifted to Modesto and as there equipment couldn't read the first hospitals X-ray cds they took there own CT scans. And after I was x-rayed from head to foot I was down graded from having a broken ankle and neck to just some very bad bumps and bruises.
Here is what my car looked like.
