This isn't an accident I was in, but I was right behind my friend when he did it. It happened 2 years ago on the day of our junior prom. Three of my friends and I, along with our dates, were all driving to dinner. It had been snowing for sbout an hour, so the road was covered with a layer of slushy snow, so it was fairly slippery. As we crested a hill, my friend's explorer fishtailed, so he started to recover, but he overcorrected and he slid into the ditch completely perpendicular to the road, the explorer caught, and rolled completely once. They were both wearing their seatbelts and they walked away with nothing more than a few cuts and a ruined prom dress. Long story short, we all ended up eating dinner at a McDonalds after the two of them were checked out at the emergency room. That was probably the single scariest thing I've ever seen. Everybody is right about the events unfolding in slow motion.
Nasty stuff.
