Re: Whiplash

F450 tow truck hit me doing 55mph, I was stopped to turn . Even with a shoulder belt I went out the back window and bounced my head off the bed cover. The seat broke and I stayed in the truck because of the lap part of the belt. I braced myself just before the hit and had no whip lash. I was very lucky. I lost over a 1 1/2 years of working on my 67 as I couldn't wear the welding helmet. It's about paying attention while driving, The guy that hit me was CAA towing, with an Impala in tow, was on his computer. But in Ontario we have no fault insurance so I got nothing, they where going to replace my t-shirt if I had a receipt that I used to stop the bleeding.
