Having once been younger and having the imagined "invincibility", I had to learn the hard way one night....

I totalled a '96 Camaro because I lost control through a corner rated at 35 (while doing 95). I was really fortunate that I didn't get hurt beyond a couple of bruises and a couple scratches. The car, and more importantly the seatbelt, did their jobs. I walked away from the wreckage of my Camaro and was fortunate enough to be able to afford a '99 Camaro as soon as I finished paying off what was left of my '96. Have I been sucked into a moment or two of spirited driving since? Of course! I'm only human (AND I had the fortune to be stationed in Germany for 3 years! VIVA AUTOBAHN!!!!). But in less than a second, I went from invincible to completely vulnerable and insanely LUCKY and that night has stuck with me since. I was one of the lucky ones....

Be safe and be smart. Listen to the Fbod Father!
