Dodge Ram - One Tough Truck

[savone]

But not tough enough to survive rolling 6 times! :)

It seems I should have been more careful on that on ramp. This happened January 1st, I was not wearing a seatbelt but I escaped with only 16 staples in my head plus bangs and bruises.

WOW! Glad you are ok! How fast did you try to take the ramp at?

[RadAL]

at least you know how physics and gravity works! high center of gravity doesn't equal taking turns fast!

glad your ok.

I'm glad to see your ok. The samething happened to me 3 weeks ago... Although I only flipped 3-4 times and was wearing my seatbelt. I was very lucky to walk away with only small cuts on my hands from the glass

I am glad you are ok and sorry to see what happened, but that is why I drive a Ram truck also. I feel they are the toughest thing out there and though none of us look forward to a day like that I want to know that the odds would be with me.

Glad to see you are okay. Got a love that much steel around you.
:shock:

Enough about you and the truck, how's the camera gear? This is a photography forum after all. Seriously, I'm glad you were ok. Buy a Chevy!!!;)

I'm looking at new trucks. I have a ford 150. Never thought about a dodge until I saw that picture. They must be tough. I'm glad you survived.

You are one very lucky man. Remember for next time- rubber side down.

wow...my husband does bodywork and they recently had a dodge ram srt10 in that was rolled. It was totalled out. Looks like you were pretty lucky here

[shannyD]

sorry to hear about your accident.. i know they probably totaled it.. see if you can part it out though.

i love my ram..; shes and older girl (2000) but i have never gnned it enough to do something like that.. im too cautious. i baby her.. lol. getting another dodge?

[forsaken]

that'll buff right out :)

[bsmotril]

You are extremely lucky. I was driving behind a pickup last year that ran off the shoulder on a straight road. The driver over corrected, and the truck hit the ditch and rolled two times. The lady driving was ejected through the windshield which popped out. My wife provided CPR until EMS arrived 5 minutes later, but the woman had died instantly according to them from a broken neck. I think you've redefined the term "head shot" though.

Dodge Rams should include helmets as standard equipment!

[medicdude]

duct tape and zip ties should have that fixed right up!
glad to see youre okay!
