Jeep rolled in Kansas City today

Unknown member · Jan 28, 2003

Pretty wild story about a jeep that flipped in kansas City today.An 18 yr old was involved in an accident and flipped his wrangler 5 times. The kid was ejected from the vehicle and ended up going straight up into the power lines above. He reached out and grabbed onto one of the power lines and held on. Luck on his side he grabbed ahold of the nuetral line and held on till the fire dept. came and got him down. No injuries and kid is fine. WOW

1. Why was he ejected?
2. Seat belt failure?
3. Driver stupidity, not being belted in, or in other words... evouliton, the thinning of the herd...

I'd be willing to bet on #3.

The Lord may very well have saved that young man. And I DO believe in the Almighty. However, I'm still going to wear MY seatbelt and REQUIRE OTHERS to do so if they ride with me as well.

Yeah I saw the interview with the kid on CNN (don't ask why I was watching THAT particular channell, cause I was just surfing and saw the story). They found his Bible laying right behind the Jeep AFTER all the rolls. That and as an electrician it's amazing he survived at all because witnesses said he hit two different wires at the same time and that is NOT good. And to end up on the neutral, not exactly luck.

God IS good, whether we choose to believe or not.

He was on 98.9 (a local radio station) this morning. They said he called his dad from his cell phone while hanging, and hung for 20 minutes waiting for help to arrive. It's amazing what a little adrenaline does to a person.

Now that is just down right amazing! I would never dream of driving my jeep without the seat belt on. I guess the good Lord does look after fools and little children.
