Ejected: Serious Injury
I was ejected out of the sun roof and landed 70+ feet from the car. I ended up with serious road rash on my face, I shattered elbow, I shattered my femur in 6 places, and practically busted my ankle right off. I was in a wheel chair for 4 months, and have had 3 surgeries since. Lesson learned, sometimes even the speed limit is too fast....

Site of Ejection: Out The Roof
It happened this past Winter in the city of Lockport in Buffalo
New York, to set the situation, it was cold, it was slippery,
and it was snowing.
I had just bought my 2003 Grand Am GT, I tricked it out with
all of these performance parts, inside and out. This was my baby.
It was about 11pm and I was heading off to work. Running a little
late, I decided that I would push the car a little faster. I
came over a hill I guess around 60 m.p.h., when I hit drift in
the middle of the road. My car did 4-360-spins before launching
off a 7 ft. ditch, the passenger side of my car hit the lip of
the other side of the ditch, sending my car into a barrel roll
and right into a tree.
I was ejected out of the sun roof and landed 70+ feet from the
car. I ended up with serious road rash on my face, I shattered
elbow, I shattered my femur in 6 places, and practically busted
my ankle right off. I was in a wheel chair for 4 months, and
have had 3 surgeries since. Lesson learned, sometimes even the
speed limit is too fast....
Just a little side note, anyone interested in buying a Grand
Am, I was curious as to how I survived this, so when I asked
a dealership, they gave me the tour of all the safety features,
I commend Pontiac with their safety features.
