When I was in high school I hit someone (not my fault). I was only going about 25-30 because it was a main residential road. I had my seatbelt on, but it didn’t catch and the force threw me into the windshield and knocked me out. Someone else witnessed the whole thing and confirmed with the policy that I wasn’t going an excessive speed and my seatbelt was on because by the time the cops and first responders got there I had tried to get out of the car, which didn’t work because I also hurt my ankle and the witness wasn’t too happy with me trying to get out. Everyone was fine ultimately, but even with your seatbelt on it might not catch like it’s supposed to and it was slow enough my airbag didn’t deploy.
ETA: I’m not saying her post is actually true, just that it can happen. The car was old so that might have had something to do with what happened with mine.
But OP says she has a "lovely bruise across my boobs" as well as cracking the windshield going 10mph. That's very different from going 30mph and your seatbelt not working.
Yes, this is the part that doesn't make sense. I've had rocks on the highway hit my windshield and not crack it. Do you have a head lac?
Yes. Did i not mention it above ? They are aware that the seatbelt malfunctioned and was noted on the report and to the cop. Because I had it ON when he came up to see me. It is in my hairline and was easily stitched up.
For all those who again think I’m exaggerating? No. Just stop. It makes you look so ugly on the inside and is about as low as it ever gets.
How do each of these bolded statements work though?
Sorry I wrote it while nodding off. I was making a right turn and my wheels locked up, along with my tires. Sliding me right into a tree that was on the northbound side (i was intending to go southbound) There’s a decent amount of front end damages.. and yes I hit the windshield and got a CT, along with a few finger splints.
I had barely edged out and was going less than 10mph when this happened. Yes I took an ambulance and there was an amazing woman who sat with me in the snow until help came.

TO give her the benefit of the doubt, maybe the person on the side of the road came up after the cops got her out?
I thought that too until I realized she said the woman sat with her in the snow "until help came"...
But, ya know, maybe she had the window open when she hit the tree causing snow in the tree to fall into her car. Maybe the woman got in the car and sat with her. Since there was now snow in the car, she would be sitting with her in the snow. That could be it.
Really though. Less than 10 mph is SO SLOW! Can you imagine being the amazing woman in the snow, watching an extremely slow-motion accident, and then coming upon the victim who has cracked her windshield and lacerated her scalp? I'd stick around just because I'd want to get my head examined too. Hypothermia can cause some serious hallucinations.

I think a car goes faster than 10 mph when it’s just in Drive and you don’t put your foot on the gas.
Except now that I think about it I'm wondering if 10 mph is fast enough to knock the snow out of the tree. Also, if the car is upright, how much snow would really get into the window? Damn. Thought I had a plausible explanation.
So her seatbelt and windshield were both defective. It could happen.
No. I've got it. Her windshield must've already had a crack in it, so when she hit her head, it spread easily. And she hit it so hard because her seatbelt worked initially, thus the bruising, but then she was thrown so forcefully back in to her seat, that she bounced off, her seatbelt failed that time and that's when she struck the windshield.

And then a cop came and determined that her seatbelt was defective, but he got an emergency call and had to leave, so a nice lady sat in the snow with her until different help came.
I saw a human get hit by a car going less than 10mph. He was not responsive and the windshield was completely broken which is what his head hit. Since I am not an expert, I won't comment on it being possible in her case.
Hell, my car was backed into going around 2-3mph last month and it's going to cost at least $2K to repair.

I guess my biggest question is, who on earth is like “oof, car accident tonight! I’m falling asleep but lemme tell my message board about it real qui-zzzzzz”? Like, if you’re nodding off, it can wait till tomorrow.
"This prick is asking for someone here to bring him to task Somebody give me some dirt on this vacuous mass so we can at last unmask him I'll pull the trigger on it, someone load the gun and cock it While we were all watching, he got Washington in his pocket."
