The rollover-my family should be dead

I get a text from my brother out in Montana on Saturday night that they were just in an accident. The exact text was, "We just had a rollover coming home from the hospital. We're all alive." Jesus Christ, that's scary. They just picked up my old man from the hospital where he recovered from bronchitis. They hit black ice at speed. Over they went. My dad was in the passenger seat, reclined and sleeping. Casey was sleeping in the back without a belt on. Just bumps and bruises. They should be dead.

Yowza! Buy some lottery tickets!

Holy smokes.   Thank God all are well.

That box in the picture is  a prop I hope.

Wow. Glad everyone is okay.

They don't need too. They've already won.

The folding scaffolding? The irony of "folding" while looking at the cab isn't lost on me. The parts are scattered all over the county.

1.  Glad everyone is okay - truck did its job.  Which brings us to...

2.  That'll buff out.  :)

That's scary as hell, glad they are all ok. Shame to lose the truck, but it would have been much worse if they were in a less robust vehicle. 

I’m glad your family is ok, but Thats some pisspoor rollover protection from the ford.   The roof is on top of the seats.  I rolled over a wrangler and the “sport bar” and windshield frame had better integrity that.  

I think them being reclined probably was a big part of why it worked out so well.

The weight of a 3/4 ton crew cab diesel combined with a 75mph roll would trash damn near anything.

Glad they're OK!

Holy berkeley 

glad they're all okay

I'm so glad that everyone made it through this one. 

Holy wah!    They may have escaped serious injury, but they're gonna feel that one for a while.

You don't usually see door windows as skylights.  That truck was feeling its inner GT40 at the end.

75 mph?  On what looks like all seasons? Aye!!! 

I'm glad in this case that Miata wasn't the answer.  Good to hear everyone made it out OK.

No matter how "good" they feel right now there's no way some body parts didn't violently go directions they weren't supposed to go during that mayhem. After the initial shock and joy of being alive wears off they are most likely going to need some physical therapy.

That is damn impressive what that truck did to keep them alive.  If it had just been the pictures I would have not thought the same outcome.  Best wishes for their bruises healing.

God Bless! 

Wow! So glad to hear they are alive and well.

I’m glad your family is ok, but man. 

Thank God all are well.  Could have easily turned out differently.

 Glad they're all still here.
