Many of us spend so much time driving that we forget how it is really dangerous.
If you think about it for a while, however, you will realize that driving is one of the riskiest things everyone can do. Despite advances in security technology, car accidents still account for a huge percentage of deaths in the US each year.
Usually, you can stay out of trouble by driving cautiously. Sometimes, however, you are a target of a freak accident or twist of fate, as the friend of Redditor sames6840 did it a few years ago.
Sames6840 said his friend called to work and sent him these pictures to explain why. This is a piece of a semitruck that fell off the road and was launched by another car.

This piece of metal then flew at a high speed straight through his friend's windshield.

alone thing that saved the life of his friend was the tough-as-nails steering wheel. He deflected the piece of metal.

While his friend survived unscathed, the person sitting in the passenger seat received a small but nasty head wound.

it looks like it hurts, but it is much better than having your face collapsed a flying piece of metal on the road.
