Car wreck

I'm kinda pissed off tonight so am blogging. I was out with a friend today in her car and we were hit by a dumb ass man from behind, he hit us hard enogh we slid forword hit the car in front of us and made both of our airbags go off. As if that is not bad enough my air bag hit me just right and bruised the left half of my face to a very nice deep blue color. I got off lucky, my friend has 2 black eyes from her bag hitting her. I still am wondering how fast was the man going to hit us hard enough to slam us into another car and make our bags go off! No one was hurt beyond a few bruises so that is great. I'm just pissed off because of it. I still don't feel better but oh well.
And yes, it totaled her car.

I'm glad you guys are okay. The air bags did not go off from the rear impact. It was from you hitting the car in front of you. From what I understand the censors are on the front and can go off at low speeds or can not go off from bad sideswipe accidents.
 
Wow I've had an air bag go off in an accident where I took out a guard rail and totaled a Volvo wagon. I had neck and back injuries but no visible bruising, no cracked ribs.

Silly question but are the both of you short? I've heard that airbags can be dangerous for children or those short in stature.
 
So sorry to hear about the accident.

One of three things could have happened re the airbags. (1) You are both quite short (2) You were sitting too close to the dashboard (3) You weren't wearing safety belts...
 
If you got rear-ended, be aware that you may be feeling some neck or head pain in the next few days. The kind of injuries suffered in rear-end collisions are usually soft tissue injuries and spinal/neck damage. If you feel any pain in your neck, back or head, it is important to see a doctor immediately. And maybe then a lawyer, if you are so inclined. Just, don't ignore it.
 
oh NO! I am so sorry to hear this. What a shitty thing to have happen when you are just sitting there going about your day. I hope you and your friend will be all right.
 
poor Mr Bird *smooches on the non-bruisey side of your face* ya okay, right? all the parts that worked before work now? *clucks and fusses* oh i got ya bag of frozen candy, same as a bag of frozen peas to use as a compress. 'cept it's more fun to eat the candy when it defrosts.

i adore ya, stupid, ya so better ok... ya really are okay?
 
Hey "LIL BRO"!!

Sure sorry to hear about your accident. I don't read the BLOG pages often. It was GW who told me about what happened to you.

I hope by the time you read this you are feeling much better. The GOOD NEWS (if there really is such a thing in a case like this) is that neither you nor your friend were seriously injured.
