i had a 86 mazda 626 LX that i had tricked out for gravel roads and rally racing...I was doing 140 (km/h) round a corner in a perfect four wheel drift when all ov a sudden there was a full logging truck headed right down the middle of the road.  I had no options.
i swung the wheel left then right again and dodged the truck but doing a complete 180 into the right hand ditch, or should i say "embankment"  My car hit a tree right behind the driver side door and remained hung up in the tree (BC had HUGE forests) supported by two others about 15 ft off the ground.  I was knocked out for a little while and cut my eyebrow requiring stitches.  I came to, and crawled out of the car and back up onto the road, flagged another car a got a ride back to town.  The tow truck driver couldnt believe what happend when he showed up with me to tow the write off away.  He couldnt believe I walked away, thank got for 4 point seatbelts and a full face helmet.  I was all of 17 at the time.
