^^^ Ugghh. No good. All the airbags deployed as well. Hope those folks are okay. One good thing, every time someone from AcuraZine posted pictures of their accident in a 3G, even serious ones, they walked away with relatively minor injuries (at least all the posts in the last 4+ years that I can remember). very safe car.

hey guys on tuesday night i was heading off to work, i got to the first light it turned green i hit the gas the a fucken dunk asshole hit me!!!! straight both doors drivers side. dick was in a ford ranger going 45-50 mph blew right through the red!! i was trapped in pain and couldn't get out, the paramedics pulled me out. i spent three nights in the hospital my injuries were two broken ribs and a partially collapsed lung. could have been worse, thank you acura!!! for all the safety features this car has those side curtain bags really do work. paramedics and doctors all said i was very lucky. they see stuff like this all the time and were surprised at the extent of my injuries. the drunk was not insured, lucky for me my insurance policy covers me $250,000-$500,00 for uninsured motorist, so i'll be getting compensated nicely$$$
i went to the inpound lot were the car is and snapped some pics check it out.
this is what the ride looked like before
this is it now!
my driver seat got a little tight!!!
air bags to the rescue!!
just some tears mixed with blood!!

^ those pics gave me serious chills.
reminds me of when I got rear ended in my RDX by a woman who fell asleep at the wheel. she hit me at 40 or more mph. her Volvo was totaled and $5 grand in damage to the RDX. but i came out with no injuries. not even whip lash.

Ouch. Any idea what happened? At least it looks like the owner is out of the vehicle, standing...
I was about to mention jpTL04. That was an INTENSE accident he survived, broken ribs are minor compared to what would've happened had he been in a car that wasn't as safe as the TL was. Those side curtain airbags saved his life. Just look at how the impact crushed the drivers seat and made the center console explode. Scary shit.

These cars really are amazing when it comes to crash safety. Those door-beams are a real blessing (in my accident, old news now, while I was spinning out of control, it turns out some lady t-boned me, but all i got was a bruise on my side even without side airbags). Glad jptl04 is okay (not sure when that was, I don't lurk in 3G TL), looks like that was quite a hit

The guy looks okay (the one with his hands over his head in the second pic). It looks like the guy was probably hit somewhat perpendicular to where he was or he hit something pretty hard with the right front suspension. As far as the other member that was jptl04 and here's the post:

Dang...reminds me of the other day...last Thursday I believe...I was on Ocean Prkway going south and there was an accident at the corner of OP and another ave...something similar to those pics but closer to the corner. Couldn't really see cuz I was driving but my dad said looked like someone tried to left turn fast between oncoming traffic and failed.

To be fair, if you read the post, he was in the hospital for 3 days and then posted the pictures. When you're injured in an accident, what else do you do besides lay around on the computer and watch tv afterwards? Posting pictures on Acurazine isn't hard to do.
