Glad you lived to see the aftermath. How badly were you injured? Do you wear your seat belts now? I always do now but I was in an accident when I was younger that I would been killed if I was wearing a seat belt. I think overall we're safer with them on as far as ejections go.

@pmexpert youre wrong, i was by myself wearing no seat belt and every single airbag in the car was deployed. to everyone else, i was driving southbound on the 110 fwy in los angeles heading towards the 110/i-10 interchange, there's a ramp in the sky that connects 110 south to 1-10 west, the ramp curves sharply to the right, i was taking the corner on the inside (far right lane with no shoulder, its right on the wall) i was going highway speeds when someone cut me off going about 40, i swerved hard to the left to avoid a rear end collision, but the ramp was curving to the right and there was a car to my left so i had to swerve hard back to the right to avoid side swiping the other car, i managed to do both, but the rapid shift in momentum from swerving back and forth sent my car into an evil fishtail and i was traveling too fast to regain control and applying the brakes woulda only sent me into a barrel-roll so i opted for the fish-tail. the car fishtailed 3 times (across 3 lanes each time) and smacked head-on into the 110 ramp guardrail on the left side, smashed through the gaurdrail, went down the embankment on the other side, smashed through another set of gaurdrails along i-10, and landed on the i-10 shoulder. all the while, i-10 had bumper to bumper traffic at a dead stop, so they hear a big explosion, (me busting through the 110 gaurdrail at the top of the hill to their right) look up, and see me flying down the hill towards them while theyre stuck in traffic, i explode through the gaurdrails 5ft from them, and land in the shoulder facing the same direction as the rest of traffic. the whole time, i was just waiting to get crushed by the engine block, kind of a strange feeling.

Glad you're OK! Those pics are nasty!
After totaling my first car and ending up in the hospital, I swore I'd never own another car. Then, after totaling my first SUV (rolled 9 times and hit a tree), I realized that with my driving habits, I can't own a car. I survived with only minor cuts and scratches on my feet, simply because I was driving in shorts, flip-flops and a tank.
