They'll never learn

I was almost finished with a really good entry, sometimes AOL can just KMA. Grrrr!!!

**I also reached 1000 hits, yaaah**

 

After reading my entry about the value of seatbelts, you'd think I might be able to avoid ejections for a little while...Think again.

Yesterday morning started out with another MVC rollover with ejection, possibly on fire. Luckily there was no fire and everyone was more or less OK. Dad was ejected and, unlike my last bad accident, the van didn't roll over him.

There isn't really much to say about everyone in the van, if they had any injuries, they were minor. Everyone was immobilized and transported as a safety precaution.

Oh, c'mon, you know I'm not going to end it like that!

Mom and Dad were taking the kids to school. As they approached some traffic, Mom tried to start slowing down...Nothing, so she stomps the brakes...Still nothing. I'll give her credit, our quick-thinking Mom tries in a last-ditch effort to stop or at least slow down and hits the emergency brake. The van speeds up! Dodging oncoming traffic, Mom goes off-road, flips, launches Dad airborne, and hits a tree.

We later found out from witnesses that the brakes were smoking as she tried to stop. Looking in the van, we found the accelerator was stuck and on the floor.

Any guesses as to how long until the manufacturer gives them a new vehicle?

Take care
