I've only been in one car accident and it was fairly low speed (around 35mph), but even that was enough to show me what it felt like to have 2 heavy ass metal beasts collide. If what I went through was the low end, I never want to know what it feels like at higher speeds.

I've also done the swervy-lose-control thing, but it was in town. I was just turning right onto a road and all the sudden I just started doing 360's until I ended up perfectly straight going the right direction in the opposite lane. Funny thing is, I was turning right so I could then turn around and go the direction I did the spin into. In the moment where I was spinning, though, there is this feeling of acceptance that I was about to get into a horrible accident and there is nothing I could do about it. When you can walk away with less damage than what you expected, that's when it feels weird.

Glad you are ok, Janszoon!
