It's all good to have walked away, but did you drop to one knee after and nod to an imaginative crowd with one arm outstretched proclaiming 'I'm fu@@ing indestructible baby...'?
That's the problem with memory loss, it can often rob you of your best moments.*
*My way of saying it's good to have you still here and thanks for the cautionary post. Duly noted.

Glad you are alive Tom,.. Make sure you keep an eye on your health over the next few days, anything odd go and see a doctor/A&E. Least you have an incentive to sort the sled out,..  |

Glad you got out relatively unscathed dude! That could have been soooo much worse.
Like HTW says keep an eye on how you feel for a few days, often the injuries and worries don't hit you until a while after.
Top marks to the Citroen, I can't imagine my car would have stood up to it that well!

First things first... glad you are OK fella, thats looks hella scary.
two other things, which are just thinking outloud and not meaning to restart any of the old debates...
First up that Citroen served you well there. Every time I see someone walk from a seriously pulverised looking car I remember why safety cages, air bags, SIPS, 3 point belts, etc. are a good idea...
Then a couple of comments abut needing a roll cage - seems a fairly good case to prove that you don't need a roll cage. If you can walk from such a mangle of a rollover and be posting here is fairly good spirits about it rather suggests that in a sound car you don't need anything other than to wear your seatbelt...
I'm not sure I believe in fate. I certainly don't believe in tempting fate... must reconnect the seat belts to their mounts before taking the Olds back on the road!!!
Hope you find out what the cause was and that you don;t get any undue hassle from the law over it.

Makes my M62 fracas last summer look like a bit of a ladies accident to be honest.
