Well, looks like I was in error! Here's a new answer: Click on the link. http://thebaezlawfirm.blogspot.com/2008/11/surviving-car-accident.html http://www.wikihow.com/Survive-a-Car-Accident says: If you are in a crash, you will not be able to control where your body goes. Car accidents happen far faster, and with far more force than the human body can react to. If you see an accident coming, do not hunch, duck, or move out of the normal driving position, as this will reduce the effectiveness of your vehicle's safety systems. These systems are designed to work for the majority of accidents, where the driver is unaware of what's coming. Ducking closer to the steering wheel or dash will reduce the amount of space the seat-belt has to activate in, increasing the likelihood you will strike your head on part of the car. For vehicles equipped with air bags, the closer your head is to the bag before it engages, the more head and neck damage you will receive. Stay upright, hold onto the steering wheel if you're the driver or your headrest if you're a passenger, and be prepared for a jolt. On the other hand, I saw some documentary about car wrecks and they had a stunt driver showing what they said was proper proceedure: he let go of the steering wheel, crossed his arms on his chest, and 'went limp'. Supposedly this results in fewer broken bones (arms, ankles, legs), and less impact / more cushioning for the internal organs (the last of the 3 impacts in a singular vehicular impact)

Don't know what is recomended. On Christmas day 2008, I blacked out when I rolled my car. Considering I smashed a huge hole in a house wall, the car bounced off the house and rolled, ending on it's side with the airbags and dashboard on fire I was incredibly lucky. I came out pretty well unscathed apart from a fractured wrist with a ruptured muscle and pretty bad whiplash. I think blacking out made me relaxed so I was less hurt. The car was a wreck and so is the house wall I went through after skidding on black ice.

Was in one once, and let me tell you, you don't react, you just kinda go along for the ride. One second you are tooling along, and everything is ok, and the next thing you know, your world is spinning. It is going by in a split second, and yet it seems to take 30 minutes all at the same time. People can tell you all these theories they want about what they would do, but I gotta say, you won't have time to do anything but just rattle around.

It happens so fast you have no chance to react. Just be sure and wear your seatbelt and tell you folks you love how you feel often.

Aside from the surprise and shock that most certainly will accompany a roll over accident, keeping your wits about you will be your number one priority. Roll overs don't let you off the hook easily and there will be car damage and hopefully as little as possible bodily harm. So knowing how to assess the carnage and deal with the end result will be crucial especially in the first 5-10 minuets before help arrives. Try and forget about the accident and try and focus on what you can do to help yourself or others survive the ordeal.
