would have been a bad day had there been a passenger.

That’s unbelievable. A lucky day for a lot of people, including the absence of a passenger and the other vehicles that didn’t get hit with the flinging guardrail.

whats funny is the trooper on the scence said when he got there the young man was walking around like a ghost !!

cdowns · 10-27-2010, 08:18 AM

have seen a number o those type accidents over the years. happened alot back in the 60's that i remember, doesnt happen as often now because of design changes trying to make them safer

vectorit · 10-27-2010, 09:18 AM

Few more for perspective.

**Stocker** · 10-27-2010, 10:47 AM

Very scary stuff and a very lucky young man.....!

jb1016 · 10-27-2010, 11:50 AM

Ironically, if the guardrail had been turned down on the end, that wouldn't have happened...but it would have flipped the Burb and hurt/killed the driver. That's one lucky dude.

Don't text and drive, kids.

Excellent advice... but that driver wasn't texting, he fell asleep.

**LEEVON** · 10-27-2010, 01:34 PM

Man I would hate to foot the bill for that...crew of 8 @ $55?/hr...times as many hours as it takes for 2 guys to do all the work and 6 to b.s.

Good thing it wasn't in one of our trucks with a cab mounted fuel tank. I've never seen anything like that before...

That's never good either. As somebody who works 13-14 hour days and drives home past 11pm, that's one of my biggest fears. I'll never look at guardrails on the interstate the same way again

fastwillie 696969 · 10-31-2010, 01:28 PM

even like the commerical where the agent appears out of thin air,i can see the agent now
WTF !! POOF GONE
