Damn, that was a tough pole!
There won't be much saved from that one. Mike

Quote from email I received from St.Paul fireman on scene...... email was written Sunday 8/23.
"This was a car wreck we had yesterday around 7:00 pm. It was a 1969 GTO in what was probably very good restored condition. I would guess over $50,000.00 GONE!!! He was not wearing a seat belt which probably saved his life. He was concious but not alert on our arrival, had open fractures to his legs and a pretty bad head laceration" |

I think, in most situations, I'd put my money on the guy wearing a seat belt.

I'm living proof that seat belts don't save lives. I survived an end-over-end rollover that most likely would have killed me with a seat belt on. Something to do with the roof of the car being where my head would have been had I been belted in. Chipped tooth and a broken wrist, but I walked away. |

I hate what happened to the car and I hope the guy driving it is ok. A shame to lose his very nice car but it would be an even bigger shame to lose his life.

Wow. I was convinced those were "vintage" photos until you guys starting sharing info.
Tough break (and a tough pole)! Glad it sounds like the driver will be ok. K

Chances are a LAP belt might have killed him. A modern seat belt probably would have helped him. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcVSQh5MbTo

Wow. That was a hard hit. I wonder what caused him to hit the pole. I was in a bad rollover years ago that not having the seatbelt on pinned me to the floor under the dash and kept me alive. My friend who was driving was able to slouch down and hold on to the wheel to keep him safe.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
