JESUS!

I have double rolled a 4x4 in the past in the same situation-everything in the car ended up smacking me in the face- like being in a washing machine full of bricks  >:(

Looking at your car, you were indeed lucky to get out-and not to have hit anyone else-it is a sobering reminder what can happen in the blink of an eye.

After my experience, I avoid sunroofs and will not have ANYTHING loose in the car-even my tomtom mount is screwed down and the unit held in place with sticky tabs on the mount.
A girl was killed near our house-not by the heavy impact, but by a camcorder hitting her head.  Sobering.

I wonder what the outcome would have been in an older car without the 'bags and safety cage?  The Omega let you live...

Hope you get sorted asap.  My roll shook me for a while  :y
Gald you're ok  ;)

Ok, these images scared the s* out of me.
It looks way worse then my crash in january.
I'm happy to read you are OK, because this many damage never promises good things to passengers.

Try and select a new Omega, I'm sure you'll find a good one...
Still a pity.

What a crash that must have been.. I'm glad the Omega did his job well till the last second of his life.

Now you're okay it's safe to say I'm very sorry about the car. Hopefully you can find a worthy replacement. :)

On the plus side, since it's being recycled into razors, you may come across her one day  ::)

I am extremely thankful that you were ok, and on the other hand I am sad to see such a beautiful car go...

What do you have in mind for your next car?

Glad you're OK and that's the main thing.  You can't be replaced, but the car can.

When I wrote off my Mig back in Feb I was gutted but relieved that the car protected me - I wouldn't want to be in any other car, which is why I bought another Mig in May!  Just couldn't contemplate buying anything else.
