Well I killed it......
We had some nasty storms Wednesday night. I was coming home through our amazing country roads, came around a blind corner at about 35mph (posted at 40mph), and there was a tree across the road.
Straight ahead would have impaled me on the tree limbs. Left would have taken me into incoming traffic, over a curb, and into more vertical trees. Right was a 3' berm. I chose the berm, hoping that it would stop me. No, stopping wasn't an option. Literally the only complaint about my Cherokee was the crappy Firestone A/T tires, which are slicker than snot on a doorknob in the rain. So with the brakes engaged, I slid to the right (the outside of the corner). The passenger tire hit the berm and was promptly torn off, ripping the bodywork and sending the front end upward. At this point, the entire interior exploded as all the airbags deployed. Nice and gently, the Cherokee corkscrewed over onto its roof and slid across the road into oncoming traffic. As soon as everything stopped moving, I undid my seatbelt and crawled out the window. The police were shocked that I was not only alive, but up and moving around. I'm bruised, I'm cut, but nothing's broken and I'm alive. As soon as the insurance company cuts me a check, I'll be getting another Cherokee. Damn thing saved my life.
