Macca IRL's 5th Gen Lude

[NafemanNathan]

That was the first thing I spotted!... The harness and squashed roof!

Serious question... Are you short? Or was the belt very slack?

Either way, that's some serious lucky unluckiness

I'm 6ft lol
Harness pulled me back and fire chief said if I was wearing a seat belt I was dead, apparently those takata reps saved me from going through the window

no roll cage but passenger side roof was squished in a good bit, drivers side was mostly ok

I've worked it out now... That's not the driver's side

[MaccaIRL]

Glad you're ok, can't have been fun...

Unless you're his girlfriend apparently

I mean hysterics as in upset lol
Girl was shaking worse than me

[Doggo]

Glad you're OK
