Below you will see the pictures of the aftermath. I will let the pictures pretty much speak for themselves.

I did want to say thank you to everyone for your well wishes and emails, it really means a lot to me. I am still hurting pretty good but I am getting a little bit better everyday. Came to find out that I now have poison ivy on my arms from where they pulled me out of the car...oh goodie!

Anyway, here are the pics:

You can see here that the rollbar buckled slightly but did remain intact with two rolls and finally resting upside down

I thought this was interesting, the front of the top actually detached and you will see the consequences of that shortly.

Obviously the impact area

View from the front of the impact area

This concerned me some as the A-pillar did collapse some.

Close up of the impact area, I am a lucky dog....

Another shot at the rollbar

Damn it, was hoping that would have survived the crash, J/K :)

Just to show that the tires still had some decent tread on them

Here is the result of the front of the top detaching and hence why the top collapsed on me. The top frame literally folded

The top folding from the passenger side

Just to show how the door buckled some after the impact

Interior actually remains fairly well intact

The take home story here is buckle your seat belts as you may never know when it will save your life. It certainly saved mine.....
