The reason for being completely out of the community recently...

[erik1979]

Before anyone asks, yes I am okay. I was lucky. I walked away from a situation in which EMTs, doctors, the towtruck driver, and police all told me I should've died in. I only had minor bruising and cuts all over my body. I feel like I got hit by a freight train though.

This is the reason that I haven't been around Blocktopia recently:

Spoiler

I was the driver in this accident. I hit a patch of black ice (if you don't know what it is, google it, I'm from Wisconsin, a mid-latitude climate, if you are from a tropical region you probably have no idea what it is) lost control, started veering into the other lane toward oncoming traffic. I then tried to correct this by going back toward my land, but if you know anything about black ice, you have no control over which direction you go. I ended up going off of the road and hitting a 4ft deep ditch. I proceeded to roll 8 times, end over end and then side over side. This deal was not because I'm a bad driver, but because I happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. No holiday is worth death, this is a heads up for everyone that can drive to be very very careful when driving, especially during the winter weather if you live in a climate that has snow and ice.

Wow... I really don't know what to say... you are very lucky to be alive, and yes, black ice is very hard to spot and very dangerous as shown above...

 

[Mccuish]

omfg your so lucky

 

[Defiant_Blob]

Glad you made it out alive :)

 

[Notme]

Good that you survived it.

 

[Nillbugwtw]

Holy crap bro. Hoooly crap. Not sure exactly what to say - glad to see you still in one piece.

 

[Pick Yer Poison]

Holy motherfucking shit. You are one lucky duck, and I'm glad you made it out of there alive.

Merry Christmas?

 

[Jubjubers]

I think living through that is an amazing Christmas present in itself. Just wow.

 

[erik1979]

This was no doubt a great Christmas present.


NOTE: This is the second time I've been in a rollover accident under the same circumstances, I was a baby in my first rollover and my father was the driver. We too hit a patch of black ice and lost control, we didn't roll this bad though, but we were both still lucky to be alive considering the fact that I was an infant rolling around in a tiny car that was being crushed up, and my dad didn't have his seat belt on.

I was wearing my seat belt in this accident, and that definitely goes to show that everyone should wear a seat belt because it saved my life.

Great to see you back! Black ice is way too common in my area, so I learnt how to keep safe everywhere

P.S:Lucky to get out!!!!!!

 

[scotty12345]

holy crap.... glad your injurys arnt as bad as they could have been. black ice is a major killer in winter

 

[Friendy]

I'm glad your ok Erik, I've been wondering where you were. :)

 

[kraby1]

What would we do without you erik D:

Glad you made it out alive, and these cars look super smashed D:

 

[DKnucklehead]

Glad that you're safe and sound. I've been wondering where you were, just wished it was under better circumstances as to your dissapearance. And last time I checked, black ice has not been added to minecraft so you should be safe in it . But yes, welcome back sir!

 

[DarthLego5679]

Glad you were safe. :)

 

[Duffie]

Well...

... At least you can enjoy New Years in one piece!

Glad you made it out okay. :3

 

[Marnixxie]

Good you made it, you must have had an angel on your shoulder.

 

[GangstaCity180]

Glad you made it out okay Erik :D. This practically happened to me too but not a roll-over .

 

[CloudBryan9]

I'm so glad that you are still alive! I know about the dangers of black ice, but I never had to drive on it yet...
Anyway, glad to see you in one piece, if you have any injuries I hope that they heal quickly.:)

 

[Friendy]

Good you made it, you must have had an angel on your shoulder.

 

[Illusionist]

I am glad that you are alive Erik :)
That's got to be the best christmas present you can get.

 

[JtTorso]

Ho-ly shit Erik I honestly can't think of anything else to say but if I believed in luck, I'd probably say you were lucky, my mother was in several accidents (three or four) in her old car that involved black ice so I know how bad it is, but they were only minor compared to this, it's one thing to survive on accident, but another to come out of it unscathed.

 

[Fatalis]

Wow, if I had been there I would have been sure someone had been killed or at least hurt way worse than you were.

Good thing you're in one piece. Black ice is a terrible thing, almost gotten into terrible accidents at least 3 times because of it.

 

[Gamer_740]

Glad your ok :D

 

[HarmakAnna]

Glad you're alive and only suffered minor bruises!
