Nikolai:
Hit a patch of ice as I was accelerating up the hill, which kicked my back end out. No big deal, right? Turn into the skid, pump the brakes, all the proper stuff. Didn't account for a curb outcropping that jumped up and grabbed my right front tire. My buddy commented on how uncanny it was that the truck managed to miss that sign post as I was spin/rolling across the median.
Kugai:
Geeze
And I thought I had it rough when I flat spun my Daihatsu all those years ago.
hedgie:
Yeah, that *is* scary. Worst I've ever done is do a 360° spin when trying to merge. No damage to the car, but I was about as shaken as one of Bond's martinis. I can't even imagine rolling like that, and being able to do so safely. Best to you Nikolai.

I don't have any pictures of it on my computer, but about ten years ago I was in a similar crash. Only ended up with cuts on my hand from broken glass, but the car was smashed. It didn't help that right after the car rolled over, the driver behind me (who had been following too closely given the icy conditions) smashed into the drivers' side and caved it in.

I'm so glad I don't have to ride or drive on ice and snow. Sand blown across the road is the worst I've had to cope with.
I'm glad you're OK. And GM too, since he was T-boned just before Christmas.
