I agree, the seatbelts were probably the only thing that kept this from being a fatal accident. A van rolling four times at highway speeds will eject its occupants if they aren't belted in.GR3343 wrote:Does that really matter? Would it have made you feel better if either of them had actually been injured?BlueGoose5 wrote:Well, from the standpoint of the van, I guess it was serious. Otherwise, without any injuries sustained, it wasn't serious or critical.

No, it was a serious accident in which the occupants of the vehicle escaped injury. Again, why does this matter?BlueGoose5 wrote:Okay, then it was a potentially serious accident.
We all like to rip on Gorg a little, but by no means does anyone want to see anything like that happen to anyone.

A van rolling 4 times down a hill in 60 below wind chill in the middle of nowhere.... Blue Goose, how in the hell can you say that's not serious. The key to this accident was the windows didn't break. If they did, that makes the whole vehicle collapse. Just like Herb Brooks. Blue Goose5, if you don't have anything good to say, just go have another one at the Blue Goose and turn your computer off.BlueGoose5 wrote:If no one was hurt, how could this be a serious car accident?

Last comment on this one. I'll give you that the events of the accident were serious, if you think what potentially could have happened to the occupants, but by all accounts so far, thankfully, the results of the accident were in no way serious, unless you're the van.
I originally commented because the title of this subject seemed tragic and implied that these guys were seriously hurt, but as it turns out, again thankfully, they're all okay. It was just a very misleading title, that's all. My stomach turned when I initially came across the title of this thread.
No doubt, there were some guardian angels in action that night.
