To all the people to don’t understand miles per hour, aka my fellow Canadians, they were going about 112 kilometres per hour. I know, I was shocked to.
dont feel bad about peeing jenna i had a seizure when i was goining to take a shower and pee'd on myself so the paramedics had to carry out a naked guy who pissed himself
I got into a wreck when I was 6 months pregnant. Hit the barrier in the middle of the road going 50 mph. All i remember was seeing a woman across the road stop her car, jump out, and jump thru my window to help me. Really restored my faith in humanity. It was a one vehicle accident and she didnt have to do it. I lost consciousness before the paramedics arrived.The Emts said she stayed with me the whole time. I woke up 2 days later in the ICU on a ventilator black and blue from head to toe with my whole stomach black. My son was fine....born healthy but we were both lucky...scariest moment of my life. I'm glad you both are safe and hope you recover quickly.
I'm almost 5 months pregnant and that is one of my biggest fears right now, to get into a car accident! I can't even think about how horrible it would be to lose a child that way :( Good thing you and your son were okay!
Muikkinen I worked with a man and him and his wife had been trying for years to have a child she was 5 months pregnant and they were in accident got hit by a truck and she needed up losing the baby. It was so sad especially since they had trouble getting pregnant and it took so long. Then ended up suing and got a bunch of money because of it. Super horrible and sad.
He is definitely a tough little guy and we are very lucky to have him. I had a 2nd trimester miscarriage before I had him and another baby after him and i spent that pregnancy in fear that something bad would happen. It led to nothing but stress and took all the joy out of the pregnancy. Don't stress yourself out. You can't change anything (I mean other than the obvious....don't go out and sky dive or do anything totally reckless 😋) and happier you are the happier that baby is. My point is don't let fear ruin this special time for your baby and you :-)
i was in a car accident with my girlfriend about 6 months ago, and for weeks after the fact, i would randomly, in casual conversation, tell her that i loved her she kept trying to get me out of the car and i couldn't move, and she managed to grab my arms and pull me out and i kinda just keeled over, threw up, and almost collapsed. she picked me up and held me as i stood there shaking and sobbing and the first thing i said to her was "i love you so much." she got the most direct part of the impact because it was her door directly that was hit. she had just leaned over to check the music when we got hit, and her whole door was crushed in. it was so jarring to see how easy she would have been fucked up if she hadn't leaned over our seatbelts, especially hers, saved our shit. it was the scariest thing i've ever experienced, and i'm so glad we're both alive
Helaina Natasha our relationship currently is a little complicated, but we’re still incredibly close. we took a break (for reasons more relating to her service in the army) and are planning to get back together once our lives settle down
i completely understand why they keep saying i love you, my girlfriend and i were were in a car accident and we continued to do the same thing, you really realize how much you love someone when their life is in jeopardy, the moment a car hit us my girlfriend grabbed me and said "you're okay, hey you're okay you're safe" and to this day she still doesn't remember that and it made me realize that of all the people in that car everything happening she grabbed me and comforted me immediately and that she loved me so much. We've been together 3 years and I'm so thankful for her, please wear your seat belt because so many things could go wrong in just a few seconds
you made me cry god bless. my bf and i drive so much to make it up to school plus he's also a pizza delivery driver. we've been together 4 years now and i cannot imagine something like this without feeling absolutely terrible. im so happy you and your girlfriend are okay.
My sister’s friend died from a car accident a few days after he was in the hospital...I guess it was from the injuries.My sister was mourning for like a week.Please be safe and be happy you’re alive if you were in a car accident or some other accident or something.
My mum was killed two months ago by a logging truck losing its load on the highway, colliding head on with her. A piece of me died with her and I'm just starting to learn how to stitch up the hole that's there. I don't use Twitter, so when you just sat down quietly, no intro and with the title "car accident", my heart jumped into my throat. I don't know you personally Jenna and Julien, but all I know is you both bring a piece of happiness back into my life every week. I am so thankful you're both ok and we are all so lucky to still have you in our digital lives. Best recovery and love being sent from Vancouver BC
Skissored I am SO sorry to hear about your mom. No one should have to go through that. Life is crazy but I'm glad you're still in it and that Jenna and Julien are able to bring you joy! Sending much love to you!
Car accidents are so scary no matter your injuries. I got into an accident back when I was in 6th grade and I remember jumping out of the car as soon as the shock wore off and screaming and crying because I felt nothing but pure fear. It's amazing my entire family didn't die in that accident we crossed 4 lanes of traffic at least 3 times. Wear your hecking seat belts it can happen at literally any moment.
I was in a fatal car accident, and no matter how terrifying it is, it seems like you understand the feeling. While your in the moment you are just still and in shock. Your brain is thinking, “What do I Do?” It is almost like an instinct for humans is to jump into action. Even 4 Year’s after it happened, I cry in terror at night sometimes thinking that something like that happened to me, and it is happening to someone around the world at that second. I’m glad you and your family are ok. I’m praying for you to stay safe right at this moment. ❤️❤️
Last year, My grandar was driving and i was in the back, in my Pjs. We were just on our way to pick my mam up from work, it was around 11pm. and we were only like 500 ft away from the place when this bmw, ON A REGULAR 2 LANE ROAD. saw a chance to overtake since the oncoming side was empty... the guy swerved infront of our our car. nearly clipped us and then span out , clipped a parked van and lost one of its fucking wheels. The dude driving & his friend were definitely high on something... my grandar checked on them and then went to go tell my mam, who ran to the car and took me inside while i cried my eyes out.... It fucks you up.
I told my boyfriend to put his seatbelt on in our uber after watching this video and Jenna's video about the crash, low and behold our uber crashed before we crossed the queensboro bridge!!!! Crazy.
Yea that shit looked bad, glad they are both OK :) I've been in wrecks and rollovers in the past when I lived life a little.. not like I should. That shit makes you think twice about how fast it can be all over. Cheers, to life.
I didn't get to have that moment where I looked at the other person and knew they were ok. I looked at my dad when we had our car accident and I knew he was gone. He just looked like he was asleep, but he was gone. I'm glad you guys weren't badly hurt.
Okay I'm not heartless cuz I am crying, but at the beginning of the video when Jenna came into view, I saw her nonexisting eyebrows and burst out laughing.
I'm in a wheelchair because of a car accident. I lost my step sister in that accident and it changed my life. My perspective has changed in so many ways. Watching you guys say "I love you so much" just choked me up -that feeling of desperate love after experiencing something life-threatening is one of the most gut wrenching feelings, yet it's privilege to feel that way because you survived. I love you guys and am sending love your way as you heal physically, mentally, and spiritually. Keep being awesome
I'm glad you're alive and breathing. This world needs people like you and what you have brought and what you have to bring to make it better. I'm also sorry for your loss. Keep strong and keep living on. You're one of a kind and this world needs you in it.
You are an inspiration and one really strong person. I'm sorry for your step sister, but when things like that happen, you have to say to yourself "it could have been worse" and look for positive things. I know it seems impossible, but you've come this far so keep on wheelin' :)
This makes me think back to when Max and Jenna broke up and she was heartbroken and admitted to being very sad and not knowing what would be next for her. But now look. I was so sad when her and Max ended things because they seemed like soulmates on camera, but looking at this and the genuine love Julien and Jenna have for each other, I can't imagine that love never existing. Had Jenna not gone through that rough break up and time alone after those 4 years with Max, she would never have had that love. Kind of shows that life does just happens in weird ways and sometimes it happens for the best.
Honest to god i needed this right now lol. Thank you. It’s so scary thinking about something in your life coming to an end but it truly is a bittersweet beginning. 💖💕💕💕
@@nutellafromgloaming2275 Max was Jenna's ex, those who watched her vids during her very early years in RU-vid would know him since he has appeared in few of her vids back then
Totally agree, at 13 I went through a relationship where I was catfished and mentally abused and it made me not wanna live anymore but not even a year later I met my boyfriend and we have been together almost 5 years now. I'm 18 and I plan to marry him, I couldn't imagine living without him and if it hadn't been for my suffering I wouldn't know what a good man is nor would I be able to say he saved my life. 💟
everyone please wear your seatbelt always. it's not worth it. lost my aunt to a car accident almost a year ago and she would have made it out alive if she was wearing one and i miss her every day, please guys don't risk it
Josie Winterburn Glad everybody's okay. Sending love. In this situation the seat belts saved your lives but there are a lot of cases where they've killed people. My friend flipped his truck the other night he lived because he didn't have it on. Not saying you should I always where one but it's crazy to think sometimes it can do a lot more damage than good
the fact that at random points they just look at each other and say "i love you" shows that they are genuinely in love. the fact that they had a near death experience and just keep saying they love each other proves they are so thankful they have each other. i hope my boyfriend and i reach a love they are at❤️
4:54 I actually got a little teary-eyed because you can tell how much they truly do love each other and they're both just so happy the other is okay. You never really get to see that side of people on RU-vid but Julien and Jenna are so real with the Dink Fam and let us see them as REAL people. It's really touching and really beautiful. I seriously love you guys. Thanks for all the free funny, the podcast, the live streaming, the vlogs, EVERYTHING. Thanks for just being YOU.
My mother always told me to go to the bathroom before driving and i never fully understood why until recently. I thought it was just in case you had to go on the road, but the truth is actually a lot more serious. If you were to get into an accident with a full bladder and your seat belt hit your stomach hard it could burst your bladder. It sounds awful but it has happened before. So always go before the road!
Adeline Russell Maybe not your parents, but it is a real thing. If your bladder is full when you crash, the seatbelt is like a baseball bat to the lower abdomen and full bladders tend to rupture. This doesn’t really happen when it’s
Adeline Russell it might not be the reason parents tell their kids that, but that doesn’t make it false lmao are you some edgy 12 year old thinking you really called someone out or something? 😂 how pathetic
I literally started crying when I saw this. I know it's ridiculous but I love you guys so much and it's so scary to think about what could have happened. I hate seeing you guys in pain and just know that I never take these videos for granted and you mean so much to me ❤️
Candidly Claudine Agreed. You said it perfectly. I tried to think how to say it but couldn't say it right. I cried the second the video started (I'm sorry I know I'm weird but we love you guys) and again when they said that about trying to talk. We love you guys so much and we are so glad you're okay. Puts into perspective not taking these videos and time we get with you guys for granted, and time with everyone for granted at that. #DinkFamILY
Candidly Claudine I am in tears as well. life is so precious and you guys are like family at this point. I would be devastated if something happened to you guys.
Please wear your seatbelt, everyone. You NEVER know what's going to happen. A few months ago I was struck on the side of my car while going through an intersection in a small town, not even 20 minutes from home. The impact made my car flip, and it slid on the roof upside down for about 20 feet. I don't think I would be here without my seatbelt. It only takes a second to buckle yourself up, dooders.
Julian - *being serious and explaining it* Jenna - *yeAHH BUT WE STILL LIVIN THOO* 0:22 Also Jenna - *WERE ALL IN THHIIISSS TOGETHERRR!* 1:50 No but seriously Ik I’m years late but I hope u ok 👌🏼
Secretstarz7 they do make those. they are called harness. however in order to have a harness you need a rollbar. if you attach harnesses to the floor of the car like regular 3 point seatbelt do, the pressure would kill you almost instantly since it'll crush your cervix.
@@Electricalwav I don't think you have the correct word.... Cervix: cer·vix ˈsərviks/ noun the narrow necklike passage forming the lower end of the uterus.
I hit a median going about 70 miles and hour. The kind that you see on an off ramp head on. I was changing a song on my I tunes. It was totally my fault. Head on with a concrete median. My watch smashed my face when the airbag went off and knocked out 4 of my teeth. Sent my teeth through my lip. I broke my nose and had cuts from glass. I also had a full on seatbelt bruise. It was in the perfect shape of the seat belt. I am talking full black and blue. It saved my life. All my injuries were from the seatbelt and the airbag. I can assure you I would've been dead if I didn't have my seatbelt on. I have never since texted, changed the music or even looked at my phone. I keep the phone in the backseat so I'm not even tempted. It was so scary. I am so glad I only hurt myself.
Soooo many people in my generation and the next should read this comment. Just to make them think. I SHOULD be dead for the close calls I've had from me being stupid texting or being distracted. I really think cellphones should be banned from being inside a moving cab, like a no open alcoholic beverage by the driver thing but of course who can enforce that? Although with technology, they could easily program phones to go into an airplane mode once your engine starts, etc.
We all make mistakes, one time we look down a crash can happen Mistakes happen and teach us lessons It sound horrific what happened, I hope you're doing well now and I hope you keep safe x
Not to sound like a diiick, but I too am glad you’re the only one who was hurt (ofc I’d rather no one was hurt). I cannot even tell you how many times my kids and I have nearly been seriously injured or died because of distracted or rushing drivers while crossing the road. I’ve literally had to pull my kids out from in front of cars who have blown through crosswalks because they’re on their phone, dazed out, or rushed around a corner to save themselves 3 seconds. It’s so bad that I get anxiety about crossing busy streets with my kids.
a few months ago my aunt and uncle got in a car accident... unfortunately my aunts injuries caused her to pass away.. my uncle broke an arm and broke both legs, a couple months later he ended up losing one of his legs. I still miss my aunt so much and always think of her. glad you guys are ok ❤
To the people who hit the dislike button on this video.... 🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻 take yo heartless ass somewhere else! Love you Jenna and Julien very much and I'll pray that you both have a fast recovery. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
As someone who has been in a car accident WITHOUT wearing my seatbelt...please wear it. The car I was in rolled 3 times. I woke up outside of the car on the ground, covered in my own blood. I'm so thankful to be here. Wear your seatbelt please. Be safe. Love you Jenna and Julien. Glad you are both safe.
Glad you two are okay. I hope you two have a pet ID card with you just in case something like this happens and its worse, to notify that you guys have animals at home.
God I saw Jenna's twitter post and was just re-watching your previous vlogs and also commented on the most recent vids on all of your channels telling everyone that the twitch stream is cancelled tonight. God I was so worried thank goodness you're okay. *PLEASE* take it easy. We'll be here supporting you guys.
And please *DO NOT STRESS* over not being able to post. If it physically hurts you to edit and post and film then do not vlog, to not edit, skip all your psots just for this week. Or ask someone else to do it for you. Please please please don't strain yourself.
Also so strange how Rome was jus ttalking about car crashes in the podcast this week eughhskdjoso and I'm a relatively new driver and live in california D:
Glad you're okay. My mom got into a horrible accident and needs months of physical therapy. She could hardly walk and had a ton of other injuries. Already she is doing so much better. Hope you guys recover soon. You can do it. :)
I know it’s been three years, but I’m just having the nerve to watch this. Jenna getting into that fire truck at the end broke me. I cried. Thank God they are well.
i was in a hit and run two weeks ago tomorrow. my car stalled just before an intersection. nothing in my car worked. not the pedals. the emergency lights, nothing. i was inside my car waiving people away from me. a subaru didn't see me. he was texting and driving. he rear ended me going 45 miles an hour. my car is older than airbags, older than locking seatbelts. i almost broke my neck on impact. out of shock, i drove away. i didn't realize i got hit, because i was in shock. i didn't call the police until 12 hours later. none of the witnesses did either. don't be a bystander. call the police.
Emily Barela my fiancé and I were hit a couple years ago and people got out of their cars,. People in the nearby neighborhoods stepped out with towels and water and they were on the their phones. I’m sorry people were so shitty in your situation I am glad you’re okay
Michael Holt I imagine they're useful for stopping blood and stuff. If you smash your head off the steering wheel or windscreen, a towel will be good to press against it to stop the bleeding until paramedics arrive.
Please go see a chiropractor!! It's essential in proper healing. I have permanent neck damage that I never knew about from an accident that happened when I was seventeen. Glad you guys are ok!
fueledbycoffee if not a chiropractor, where else would you go to manage your pain?! Without having to rely on pills and paid meds, what other option would you suggest?
You go to an actual doctor/physical therapist. Chiropractors have done no medical training, or need to, and that is why thousands of people are permanently damaged from 'adjustments' made by chiropractors every year.
Chiropractors actually have a lot of medical training, but I agree you should see your primary care doctor first and then find a well qualified chiropractor who has been in practice for many years or who has been recommended to you by someone you can trust. Whiplash from car accidents is something chiropractors are fantastic at treating. There are bad doctors in all fields, but a good chiropractor can do a lot to help someone recover from a car accident.
don't be afraid to get someone to talk to for the mental scarring this causes. I know that talking through this feels so therapeutic so keeping doing it. It's really good to alleviate the kind of pressure inside of your brain to talk it over and over and get a logic to it and understand what happened and how. Be well, guys
I'm so thankful that you two are okay. On my way to college I never wear the seat belt on the coach but now I will seeing how it saved your your life's. Thank you for for this realisation I love you both and wish you both a speedy recovery. 😊 love you both soooo much
Mitchell Waters i never wear seatbelts when i'm in backseat. it's just something i've never done and i don't know if i'll continue. I guess there's the element of "if i don't wear it maybe i'll die in the crash" that's always taken over my thoughts. Idk. Maybe i will start wearing my seatbelt now.
Alexander You should, you really should. If the driver of the vehicle you're in breaks suddenly or has a proper crash you would go flying through the windscreen.
When I saw this video, I had never been in a crash before and had the bad habit of not wearing a seatbelt. A couple weeks ago while my family was evacuating from hurricane Irma, we got in a really scary accident. We got side swiped in the middle of an intersection where the traffic light was out. We spun around and luckily my instict was to grab my dog or else she would have went flying (she's okay). Even though the seatbelt gave me a bruise on my stomach and I still have some whiplash headaches and neck pain, I might not be here if I didn't wear my seatbelt. You guys may have actually saved my life. Love you dink fam, please stay safe. ❤
I was a passenger in a rollover car accident in 2012, seatbelt gash under my stomach, broken arm, fractured pelvis, fractured other arm etc. Luckily I remember before it happened and after it happened so the actual impact is a blur. I'm glad you guys are alright and presumably seriously unscathed
Adam M My boyfriend was on his way home from work to pick me up, his mom works with him and for some reason texted me and said tell me when he is home. 10 minutes later she calls me and tells me he was in an accident. He rolled his brand new Mountaineer 5 times on the highway. When I got to the hospital he was just being brought back into the room, doctor said how are you feeling and all he said was this fucking neckbrace hurts.. lol stubborn ass..Come to find out the doctor passed his accident on the way to work and said this will be my first patient he is probably dead. Little did he know by boyfriend crawled out of the SUV and was gathering all of our stuff in the road. Anyway he told my boyfriend he should be dead or paralyzed but my boyfriend pushed his arms on the roof of the SUV while it was rolling and it saved his life. The EMTs walked passed our room and stopped telling my boyfriend when they drove up to the scene they thought forsure it was going to be a fitality. He had a black eye, gash and bruise from the seatbelt, bruise on his left arm and the muscle in his right thigh split and filled with fluid from hitting the center dash.. That was June 20th. Hes better now but he has flashbacks and always randomly looks at me saying he should be dead.. Love him I dont know what I would of done if I lost him. I had a bestfriend die in 9th grade in an accident. Everyday I am thankful. I am glad you are okay and Jenna and Julien are okay. You never know when something will happen..
99% of the time you're better off having the seatbelt on. It may hurt you, but it will keep you from dying. My friend was the 1% and the seatbelt snapped her neck when she flipped in her car. They said if she hadn't been wearing it, it would've ejected her, and she might've been paralyzed...but she would've lived. Because it tightened, and the way her car flipped, it snapped her neck. So, there is always that freak thing where the seatbelt hurts you worse than not having it on. But most of the time, you're much better off with the seatbelt on in a crash.
Marlissa Cunningham My friend got in an accident like this, except he was ejected & just ended up having some bruises & a broken bone or two, he clearly had someone looking out for him. Sorry to hear about yours. 😕😕
That happened to close family friends.My friend's aunt survived because she was thrown to the back of the car.Her mother and grandmother died on impact . I'm sorry for your loss.
I'm so sorry you lost your sister, Kristin. 😣 I admit I don't wear mine as much as I should, but that's definitely changing after this. That little smidge of comfort is just not worth gambling with my life.
I know these videos are a few years old but I still feel the need to say this. Not only should you always wear your seatbelt but please, always wear a helmet on a motorcycle (and hell even a bike). I got hit on my motorcycle in a roundabout going about 20mph. Paramedics kept telling me that if I wasn't wearing my helmet I would have died just because the first impact was my head. I also almost didn't wear my sweatshirt that day (thank god I did) and that saved me soo much road rash. Luckily I didn't have any broken bones but please guys, stay safe and wear seatbelts/helmets/gear
my childhood best friends brother in law was on a motorcycle on the freeway and was bumped by a car. he skidded off his bike and managed to somehow get stuck UNDER an 18 wheeler and was dragged about 60 feet. apparently the cars around him were honking to get the truck to stop. when he got to the hospital, the ER doctor who treated him didn’t even say hello when he first met him, he said “you need to go home and kiss your children. you’re lucky to be alive” he walked out of that hospital that night with a mild concussion, a replaced dislocated shoulder, and a skinned knee. i was with my friend when we got the call saying he was in an accident so we were called to take care of the kids while his wife went to the hospital and i’ll never forget the moment he stepped through the door. the boys went and hugged him and his wife hugged him and they sank to the floor and stayed there for a few minutes. life is precious, wear a helmet, wear a seatbelt, and be thankful to the universe when you get home safe.
Who says they gota get married. My parents didn't get married for 18 years. Only reason to get married is the healthcare and neither of them get work healthcare
Holy shit. This is so serious. I'm so sorry this happened to you guy's. So strong. I hope you guys make a fast recovery and I hope you feel better. I've never been in a serious car accident other then when I was 3yrs old. Stay positive, love you guy's! You help my depression and anxiety
Fuck. Now I'm crying. Stay safe. I know this isn't an excuse but I never took wearing a seat belt seriously because when I used to feel really suicidal, I wouldn't wear a seat belt because if I died, it wouldn't be an actual suicide attempt.
A best friend of mine lost her boyfriend no more than three months ago due to a car accident. Dude was only 17. Swerved off the road, over corrected and hit a semi truck head on. Died on impact. Life is so unpredictable and we don't think about how little we can do to prepare for the future. I'm so happy you guys are okay aside from the bruising. People don't realize how dangerous day to day life can be. Love you guys.
it was a three car collision. i tried looking it up but what i think happened is the PT Cruiser tried merging too soon into the carpool lane and hit them and the taxi lost control and hit the median. then in the midst of that there was a third car but i have no idea what he did. the white suburban behind them called 911.
At 5:37 what they were saying really hit home. I was in a landslide a year ago, me and my best friend both got buried. Once people helped dig me out, I remembered the desperation I felt while screaming for my friend, trying to figure out where she was. I never got that feeling of relief that she was okay and I pray no one has to feel that moment when you realize it’s not going to be okay. I’m so thankful that both of them were wearing seatbelts and are safe. Everyone please realize how quickly it can all happen, and cherish everyone in your life. Stay safe everyone.
Take care of yourselves. So glad you're all good. Make sure to have follow up appointments. My mom was in a bad accident and they did x-rays and body scans and found nothing the first time around. She went back 3 weeks later and they found out she had 8 broken ribs, a crack in her ankle and kneecap and had been just walking around on all that in pain. There was too much swelling right at the start to know all of the damage.
When I was 5 my grandparents and I got into a really bad car crash. We were going to McDonalds. I went in with my grandma while my grandpa sat in the car and waited. He took a nap because we were taking a while. When we got back in the car, neither of them had their seatbelt on. My grandpa floored it, and we hit a curb. We went airborne. I remember jumping over bush. Then we crashed into the CVS pharmacy across the street. The car smelled like smoke, and I remember my grandpa had blood coming out of his hand. He cracked his skull, and he had a concussion. My grandma was okay, but now I'm severely traumatized. I'm terrified to go on rollercoasters and if my parents go too fast I get flashbacks. But this was one of the scariest moments of my life. I wish they were wearing their seatbelts.
glad you guys are okay, when I was a teenager, my immediate family and i were going to mexico, mom was driving, grandpa was in the front and i was in the back with my grandma and uncle. . I was asleep but I woke up to a bang and the car doing circles on the ground - it had caught gravel. Next thing you know, the car hits one of those black and yellow signs and we flip over the hill we were on 5 times. That we didn't die is just .. incredible, we shouldn't have survived that, but we did. We were fucked up, I was in pain for months, had to go to school and my classmates had to carry my backpack and anything heavy for me. But climbing steps was unbearable, getting up as well. Recently I got in a car accident, first time since I ever drove a car that I got in one with me driving, this driver didn't see me ( i had the right of way) and he just took off and banged my side of the door, it rammed me up to the gasoline station beside us, I was going the speed limit 45, if I had been speeding I fear things would have been worse. It is the worst thing to go through this but the worst is over, you're alive, thank the skies you guys are alive, wishing you the best and a speedy recovery.
This kinda hit me hard, my best friend and I drive around all the time just for fun for hours at a time, and we rarely wear our seat belts. I don't know, I guess cause they get uncomfortable when you're in the car for hours at a time. Like this one time a deer jumped out and he had to slam on the breaks and I hit the dashboard hard, just got some bruises on my knees. But now I think that could have been so much worse!! And what if we actually hit the deer? I would have gone through the windshield. Scary shit man; this kinds shows me that you never know what could happen and when and accident could happen.
Heather Wheeler can't expresses how important seatbelts are! Things could've gotten so much worse without for sure. I hope they get a speedy recovery though.
I was in a head on collision when I was 11 and it was awful my stepmom looked like she was dead and my sister wasn't wearing her seat belt. My mom didn't know until the police showed up at her house. And this was like a week before Christmas and my mom is convinced this is why I can't relax in a car when any Christmas songs are on.
yeah I almost got into an accident today. a big truck decided to merge as we were flying down the lane and my friend braked really fast and the truck was having issues accelerating. What was scarier was that an 18 wheeler was flying behind us and swerved to the other lane and just missed us. It was insane. Praise God, everyone is ultimately okay in your situation. Take it easy.
CallMeSmash no offence but your friend should be moving over into the other lane to let traffic merge on the highway.. she was the one who could of caused the accident by breaking on the highway.. sounds like a non confident driver to me
Seatbelts are all about life over limb. They're designed to keep you from flying through the windshield or getting banged up but the consequence is a really nasty injury unfortunately
Nah, they cushion the blow, car crashes are just really violent Their rigidity actually makes them better at cushioning the blow- the car is much bigger/heavier than you are and stops much more slowly. the seatbelt is designed to keep you "attached" to the car so you stop slower too.
@@AngDavies it's more fun when you know seatbelts can pop your insides because they can't be made so that they save you from the crash without leaving serious injuries
Guys I wish you a full fast recovery, what a scary scary incident... but I'm so grateful that you are okay... amazing how deeply I care about people I've never met... but I'm SO SORRY that this happened to you... sending you my love and prayers
Holy shit how crazy is it that you guys were just talking about intuition in car crashes on the podcast and then this shit happens I'm seriously almost in tears watching this because I can't imagine if I were to hear the news that you guys had been in a fatal car crash I'm so so so so so happy you guys are OK
Your dogs were very aware something had happened to you. They know when you are hurting. I was in a wreck where my car spun around in a circle and the centrifugal force was trying to pull my body out of the driver's side window. I was not wearing a seatbelt. I held on to the steering wheel with all my strength. The next day I had bruises on my thighs where my legs smashed against the bottom part of the steering wheel as I was being sucked out of the window. Utterly amazing I didn't go flying through the air and land on the pavement. From that day I have ALWAYS worn a seatbelt. If I hadn't been in the driver's seat I believe I could have died. The pulling force was so strong I thought it might break my thigh bones because I clenched my whole body around that steering wheel so tightly. In that moment I knew I had to hold on or I was going to be thrown a long distance. It was such bizarre moment and it seemed like it lasted forever. I still remember it so clearly and it was more than 35 years ago. Very glad you two were ok. And so were your dogs.
And isn't 70mph illegal? Well at least where I'm from if you go past the speed limit, which where I'm it's about 65mph in a highway, you'll get pulled over.
Jenni Bella :on the freeway (at least in the Bay Area) you keep up with the flow of traffic. The speed limit is 65 but if everyone's going 80, so are you.
Wow. I never wear my seatbelt when I'm sitting in the backseat. After seeing this and hearing y'all's story, I will never ride without my seatbelt again.
I got into a rollover car accident in the winter. I thought I was just going to go into the ditch, I lost control of my car and it started going off into the other lane and into the ditch and it started tolling over. I'm not sure if it rolled over once or twice or what but it was scary. My car landed upside down and I had to unbuckle my belt and crawl out the window. I broke my right thumb and sprained my left wrist. I would have died or gotten severely injured from that accident. I'm so glad you guys are ok. Car accidents are very scary and it's important to always wear your seat belt!
It's okay... God had a reason from taking him early in my childhood. I'm a strong young adult and I know I'm not guaranteed anything in life. I live everyday like it's my last!
I lost my dad in childhood too (not in a car accident though), but I have the same perspective as you on life. I'm a very cautious person with no real expectations. Sorry about your loss!
same, i've rewatched this video over and over and i'm just lying here crying. i can't imagine living a life without jenna and julien, they bring me so much hapiness
