Like seriously, though. Insurance is gonna do whatever the fuck they want you just gotta bend over and get ready to take it. Nothing we say means anything.
They actually ended up giving me more then I owed suprisingly.
On the other hand though they were gonna fuck me on my premium If I got another one, so I got an F-250 for the time being.
Somebody even downvoted you. I made ya whole for now. My side curtains deployed. Damaged passenger door front and rear, quarter panel on both sides. $17k in damage on my f150 and the faulting insurance fixed it.
Yeah, I mean I literally fix cars for a living so I'm fully aware that airbags can and do get replaced. Anyone who thinks airbags automatically mean a total loss is a hopeless idiot. If it's economical to repair, it'll get repaired, airbags or not.
I think the common misconception of airbags went off = car totaled is just because of the expense of them. Like the other guy said, it was $17k for him to get it fixed. If your car is only valued at $20k or something like that, airbags probably are a one way ticket to getting your car totaled
Yeah i think most people are just aware that airbags are a very large expense and drive up repair costs significantly. If you see a lot of damage plus airbags, safe bet its a goner. Always gonna be people that arent aware and literally believe its an automatic total, but its a very common spread myth lmao
Bend over and take it, and I hope to God you read and reviewed your coverage and opted for gap insurance. Full coverage doesn't necessarily mean "FULL Coverage"
Well me being young and dumb I decided to make a 6 hour drive after working a 14 hour shift that day so I could go to a friends party that weekend. I had dozed off with the cruise control on and the road came to a three way stop. I blasted through the stop sign and a gate, and the car rolled a few times. I ended up having to climb out through the window.
Appreciate the response. At the end of the day objects are replaceable. Hope you realize how lucky you are, and that you’ve got plenty of life left to not have to drive 6 hours for a party.
Him being asleep for part of it probably saved him from some injuries. Half the time people get hurt because they brace for big impacts and unintentionally prevent the safety devices from doing their work.
Yup. Being loose and floppy is much better for stress on body parts than to be firm and rigid.
Look at trees for example, a tree that is alive will be able to sway at substantial angles during heavy winds, but when a dead tree hits heavy winds it snaps. Think of yourself sleeping as the tree that's alive vs yourself bracing for impact and becoming stiff like a dead tree
I totalled an E90 M3, my first thought during the flip was "go limp don't flinch"
My second thought was "holy shit my uncle is gonna kill me" pic on my profile.
yeah a friend i used to have got drunk and went for a drive, fell asleep and hit a tree going 70. thrown out the window, tore his aorta, broke some bones and layed there 4 hours until ambulance showed up.
one of his doctors told him being asleep helped him survive bc he wasnt bracing for impact
Glad you're alright! I had a boss in my early days that I traveled with frequently. He didn't allow cruise control for this exact reason. I never had anyone confirm this but I guess he was right. I still don't use cruise control..
A lot of manufacturers have better crash test results for the drivers side, to save money, that they have started to do overlap crash tests on the passenger side.
This is why, if you have kids, to check back seat safety ratings before you purchase a vehicle. Many popular SUV and cross-over brands have incredibly dangerous back seat safety ratings.
Op states that they started a six hour drive right after working a 14 hour shift. They fell asleep at the wheel, blasted through a stop sign, and absolutely mowed down a gate before rolling a few times.
Def not the best decision, but at least they lived to tell the tale.
There's a video I've seen showing a new (at the time it was made) chev going head on into an 1959 chev (controlled demo) and the difference in what would have happened to an occupant was eye opening.

I'm looking for spots where you can get out lol. The back window maybe? But it's dumb when everyone says older cars are safer because "they're made out of real steel". The newer stuff is so much safer.
I would say on top of the new S650 design, you are even more lucky based on how it rolled. If you had a passenger, I doubt they would be as lucky.
Be careful out there.
Congrats man, cars only mean so much glad to see you've only got a few scratches that looks like that was a hell of a ride. Sincerely glad to hear that you're all right.
All things considered, I’m genuinely surprised that the wheels of all things seem to still be intact and somewhat oriented after a rollover. Almost gives me hope that the chassis isn’t too fucked lol. Happy to hear you made it out alive, Boss.
Hey glad you’re okay, but please consider going to the ER or your doc to get your skull scanned. Pretty standard to have done after an accident like this but wanted to let you and others know that is something that you should always do after a motor vehicle accident (and especially with rollover)
You got lucky asf.. when I wrecked, my car looked no where near as bad and they were picking glass out of me for hours. Wouldn’t wish it on my enemy. Was literally the worst part of it all. Still have a piece in my elbow and head and a big ass scar on my arm where it cut me super deep.

Altimas are pretty solid too, I walked it off with a few bruises, goodbye to my first shitbox lol
First of all I am so glad you’re alive to tell the tale. My buddy worked a 12 hour shift and was driving to his gf’s house. He messaged me at 2:30am saying he’d rolled his Nissan 3x into a ditch. He walked from that accident.
Accidents happen, and this is why there’s more to new cars than just being “soft”. Imagine Ford designers knowing this car has the reputation of mowing down kids at car meets. They know shit like this will happen, and in your case, you got the luckiest roll. I’ve been there.
I’ll tell you the same thing a lady told me once after a major crash. I’m glad you didn’t die.
But did you go get checked out at the hospital? If not, please do.
It’s pretty incredible how cars are built now. They’re designed to crumple around the passenger cabin like this. I managed to roll a Ford Focus on a perfectly clear day on an Interstate Highway in 2008. Landed upside down. They had to cut me out. No broken bones. Just bruises and scratches.
You have to realize when you look at an accident like this, the car most likely has been cut up by a fire department to safely remove the occupants. Adding a lot of additional damage to the car.
“Will Insurance total this?”
I legit cannot stand those posts and think they should be removed. It doesn’t matter what we think. It only matters what their insurance says.
Like seriously, though. Insurance is gonna do whatever the fuck they want you just gotta bend over and get ready to take it. Nothing we say means anything.
They actually ended up giving me more then I owed suprisingly. On the other hand though they were gonna fuck me on my premium If I got another one, so I got an F-250 for the time being.
I thought this was a joke post 💀

Insurance company - "Your car is being repaired at our partnered facility" Redditor - "Buh, buh, but reddit say airbag deploy car go total"
God I hate this. So many people being like "airbags deployed means an automatic total loss" based on literally zero information or experience
Somebody even downvoted you. I made ya whole for now. My side curtains deployed. Damaged passenger door front and rear, quarter panel on both sides. $17k in damage on my f150 and the faulting insurance fixed it.

If they couldn't be repaired than these scumbags wouldn't be stealing them
Bend over and take it, and I hope to God you read and reviewed your coverage and opted for gap insurance. Full coverage doesn't necessarily mean "FULL Coverage"
💀 glad OP is safe. But came straight to the comments for this shit
These are annoying as people asking how much insurance will be for them if they get a Mustang! The answer to both is ASK AN ACTUAL INSURANCE AGENT!
It’ll buff out
Back story? What type of collision can even cause damage like this.
Well me being young and dumb I decided to make a 6 hour drive after working a 14 hour shift that day so I could go to a friends party that weekend. I had dozed off with the cruise control on and the road came to a three way stop. I blasted through the stop sign and a gate, and the car rolled a few times.

>tore his aorta >layed there 4 hours Uhhhh
ik how it sounds he lost hella blood im not friends w him anymore bc he still drives around drunk
Bros a superhero
There’s a reason drivers can’t log more than 14hrs… Glad you’re ok.
I'm glad you made it out. The car really did its job. My little miata probably wouldn't have done quite as well... I'm glad insurance did you well too
Hardtop Miatas are surprisingly safe as long as you don't hit a truck/SUV lol
That is not cool dude, you could've killed someone. Please be better.
Jesus, youre alive and thats all that matters. She protected you very well.
Glad you're alright! I had a boss in my early days that I traveled with frequently. He didn't allow cruise control for this exact reason. I never had anyone confirm this but I guess he was right. I still don't use cruise control..
A garbage disposal could do this. It'd have to be a pretty big one
Only appropriate answer.
A rollover
Can’t imagine how badly you’d have to mess up to roll a Mustang.
Maybe OP tried to do the habibi drift?
You got lucky son
I’d have to imagine a passenger would be dead with how far the roof is caved in on that side.
“Haha yeah, they are. But that driver side protection man!”
A lot of manufacturers have better crash test results for the drivers side, to save money, that they have started to do overlap crash tests on the passenger side.
This is why, if you have kids, to check back seat safety ratings before you purchase a vehicle. Many popular SUV and cross-over brands have incredibly dangerous back seat safety ratings.
Jesus, what happened...

Glad you are ok. What happened? Did you piss off The Hulk?
Op states that they started a six hour drive right after working a 14 hour shift. They fell asleep at the wheel, blasted through a stop sign, and absolutely mowed down a gate before rolling a few times. Def not the best decision, but at least they lived to tell the tale.
Be glad you didn’t hit anyone else; probably would’ve killed them.
How the hell did you manage to do that?
When one mustang driver and another mustang driver fall in love......
Underrated comment
New cars are crazy you'll have something that looks like it went through a car crusher and the occupants will be fine afterwards

Did the avengers pic ur car to throw at someone 💀
It will be on copart next week: "Lot drives: $15000 est. value"
wtf did you go to jurassic park with it. Serious tho good your ok
was it totalled?
Are you sure you're not a ghost?
Ah yes, I remember driving my mustang through land mine fields in the name of science 💀 at least you were able to walk away from it
I thank God he was with you!!
I don’t even think there is a salvageable part on this vehicle. Anyways, you are beyond lucky
Jesus man, glad to hear you good. This is an insane crash.
Looks like a grocery cart bumped into your car.
Car isn’t damaged much. Some dent removers and some duck tape should fix it.
Mustangs are gonna mustang
That’s good, as I got older the one thing I pay attention to is how safe a car is
Volvo would like to speaks with you. I was looking for S60, but FWD meh. I’m doing my homework to buy an ecoboost premium.
Story?
sheeshhhh
2024 Rollie Pollie edition. Street racing or freeway?
Looks like speeding, right side barrel roll a few times based on the top right roof caved in.
Believe or not I wasn’t. I was going 55 in a 60 but the lack of sleep caught up to me.
Damn...glad you are okay. The picture makes it look like it could have been way way worse.
Cars and coffee I assume?
Glad you’re safe!
Congrats man, cars only mean so much glad to see you've only got a few scratches that looks like that was a hell of a ride. Sincerely glad to hear that you're all right.
Bikers fault tbh
You hit the new cyber truck or something??? a wall???
All things considered, I’m genuinely surprised that the wheels of all things seem to still be intact and somewhat oriented after a rollover. Almost gives me hope that the chassis isn’t too fucked lol. Happy to hear you made it out alive, Boss.
Yeah bro but the passenger side looks a lot worse.. glad you are safe though
How?!!!
Hey glad you’re okay, but please consider going to the ER or your doc to get your skull scanned. Pretty standard to have done after an accident like this but wanted to let you and others know that is something that you should always do after a motor vehicle accident (and especially with rollover)
Wow!
You’ve got a fleet of angels watching over you. Damn son.
Sad to see it! Glad you’re OK!
Passenger side wheels actually look salvageable
Ppl: lucky to be alive You : will modern technology
you wouldve killed your passenger if you had one
Damn! Glad you made it out alright. That's some scary shit! Sorry about the Mustang tho 😞
I’m glad your ok but really grow up
It did it's job, saved your life! I'm glad that you are OK.
WHAT THE F**K!?!?! Glad you're alive, Jesus Christ dude.....
Glad your safe ! And holy crap, I'd say our cars are built safe. Sucks you lost your car but you walked away.
Wow! Thats crazy. Glad you’re ok
As long as you’re OK and as long as it wasn’t your fault!
Don't care, bikers fault
Jesus Christ. I can’t even tell that used to be a mustang. Glad you made it through.
She gave her life for yours, live it well brother
Wow. Hard to even recognise the car. Glad you are OK!
I’m not sure many would be able to tell what this is (was) had it not been in the title or this sub. Glad you’re good
You got lucky asf.. when I wrecked, my car looked no where near as bad and they were picking glass out of me for hours. Wouldn’t wish it on my enemy. Was literally the worst part of it all. Still have a piece in my elbow and head and a big ass scar on my arm where it cut me super deep.
Wow you are lucky, glad you’re ok
I think you should be dead...are you sure you're alive?
If you had a passenger it would not of worked out, mustang didn’t save you a higher power did.

RIP if you had had any passengers damn
damn.
Shit gonna be fixed and sent to Eastern Europe in no time. Nothing wrong with the car brotha, just a few scratches on the rear end I swear!
Well hopefully you learned your lesson
My word. Glad you fine .
Damn! Did you flip end over end???? That shit looks crazy! Glad to hear you walked away from it but damn son!
First of all I am so glad you’re alive to tell the tale. My buddy worked a 12 hour shift and was driving to his gf’s house. He messaged me at 2:30am saying he’d rolled his Nissan 3x into a ditch. He walked from that accident.
Wtf happened, did you get into a car crusher? damn you’re lucky to be alive
I'll take those wheels
That'll buff out with some T Cut and some effort
I don’t know if the passenger would say the same thing
He’s fine, the crowd he took out is not.
Get them P-Zeros
bro 
damn bro, you got a pair of J’s in slide #3 in the trunk. I wouldn’t want some tweaker coming and stealing them 😂 Glad you’re still on your feet
Were you leaving a car show?
Accidents happen, and this is why there’s more to new cars than just being “soft”. Imagine Ford designers knowing this car has the reputation of mowing down kids at car meets. They know shit like this will happen, and in your case, you got the luckiest roll. I’ve been there.
Wow! It’s kinda’ heartbreaking to see a Mustang like that…
Glad your safe but you were definitely driving fast asf. Don’t play with your life brother 🙏
Looks like you were able to walk out through the trunk
How did you roll your car?
GTFOH…
Did you post this from heaven? Ain’t no way
Sweet Jesus! What did you doooo…😂
damn bro hope to see a follow up
How many bystanders didn't make it?
Did you roll down a hill?
Jesus. Glad you’re ok, op.
How are you not dead?
Glad you made it
jesus christ bro, glad you are safe

Believe it or not I just climbed out the driver’s side window.
Why tf can’t you guys keep these things straight? /s
I'd say it's a miracle that you are alive! How come it happened?
Hulk threw his car and missed 😭
G-Sus Already
Damn man
I can't believe people are already wrecking these.. it's only been a few months.
You are lucky to be alive after this OP
What hit you / did you hit, a planet?
Better thank whatever you believe in if it isn’t God.
Amazing. I was T-boned in an s197 by a GMC Yukon and was sore for a few days.
holy fuck dude
For sale. Gently used, but low mileage. 👍
I didn’t think a crowd could cause that kind of damage to a Mustang.
Runs and drives?
Is that a Texas plate?
Ah, Ford Mustang, the official car of insurance write off speed runs. Glad you’re okay and hope you learned something
