I don't really remember staring at the glove box to be honest, but I remember hitting the tire wall, sinking into it, then bouncing off and rotating about 120 degrees in the air. A "rough ride" doesn't quite cover it.
Rough ride.
It was (and still is) a lot less painful than you'd think. I do have a substantial pain tolerance, but I'd still on my scales have expected an accident of this magnitude to have been way more painful. In the video after people arrive, I'm just sitting there chatting up staff and safety crews, "It just feels bruised", and it did at the time. They got me out of the vehicle and I put weight on my right leg "Uh, I think there may be something broken, changed my mind". Just me being typical me. No whiplash, no concussion, like hell a silly wall could get me to skip a beat on being myself.
But in the end, I think my state can be chalked up to three things; luck, my choice of impact location on the vehicle, and Mitsu's damn fine handiwork in building a car to keep someone alive through a wreck like that.
