when i was 19 i went around a corner too quickly (80kph) in my '67 mini with 4 wheel drum brakes. to my suprise there was a bus parked there which i couldn't avoid, rear ended it and got stuck under the back of the bus. a machinery transport truck which was hooning behind me tore me out from under the bus and took me a fair way down the road.
i blacked out after seeing the bus and trying to nudge my way into the middle lane, but woke up in the ambulance to the dropping jaws of the ambulance dudes. when we arrived at the hospital my mum and my girlfriend were already there waiting for me; i was trapped in the wreck for a fair while, unconscious.
I ended up only recieving bruising and a hairline fracture on the skull, but I was thanking God because when the ambulance dudes saw the crash scene they swore i was dead.
so moral of the story - don't speed around blind corners and don't neglect to adjust your crappo four wheel drum setups.
