Aren't you the guy with the GXP named "DAMIEN"?

Get well soon!!

Glad to hear that you are okay. It is also nice to hear that your G8 kept you from (major) harms way.

Get well soon!

That sucks. Glad to hear everyone's OK. Get better soon!

[N2G8GXP]

Let me add my 2cents and say glad you are OK too how bad are your injuries? It is great you have a supportive wife to help you. I bet you gave her a scare, did the Onstar work?
Hang in there!

[jeppsG8]

Hang in there. Get well soon so you can get into another GXP. Really glad to hear that you survived. I hope I never get on this thread and hear that someone didn't make it.

Get well soon...:spank:

Frontal Lobes

The frontal lobes are considered our emotional control center and home to our personality. There is no other part of the brain where lesions can cause such a wide variety of symptoms (Kolb & Wishaw, 1990). The frontal lobes are involved in motor function, problem solving, spontaneity, memory, language, initiation, judgement, impulse control, and social and sexual behavior. The frontal lobes are extremely vulnerable to injury due to their location at the front of the cranium, proximity to the sphenoid wing and their large size. MRI studies have shown that the frontal area is the most common region of injury following mild to moderate traumatic brain injury (Levin et al., 1987).

There are important asymmetrical differences in the frontal lobes. The left frontal lobe is involved in controlling language related movement, whereas the right frontal lobe plays a role in non-verbal abilities. Some researchers emphasize that this rule is not absolute and that with many people, both lobes are involved in nearly all behavior.

Disturbance of motor function is typically characterized by loss of fine movements and strength of the arms, hands and fingers (Kuypers, 1981). Complex chains of motor movement also seem to be controlled by the frontal lobes (Leonard et al., 1988). Patients with frontal lobe damage exhibit little spontaneous facial expression, which points to the role of the frontal lobes in facial expression (Kolb & Milner, 1981). Broca's Aphasia, or difficulty in speaking, has been associated with frontal damage by Brown (1972).

An interesting phenomenon of frontal lobe damage is the insignificant effect it can have on traditional IQ testing. Researchers believe that this may have to do with IQ tests typically assessing convergent rather than divergent thinking. Frontal lobe damage seems to have an impact on divergent thinking, or flexibility and problem solving ability. There is also evidence showing lingering interference with attention and memory even after good recovery from a TBI (Stuss et al., 1985).

Another area often associated with frontal damage is that of "behavioral sponteneity." Kolb & Milner (1981) found that individual with frontal damage displayed fewer spontaneous facial movements, spoke fewer words (left frontal lesions) or excessively (right frontal lesions).

One of the most common characteristics of frontal lobe damage is difficulty in interpreting feedback from the environment. Perseverating on a response (Milner, 1964), risk taking, and non-compliance with rules (Miller, 1985), and impaired associated learning (using external cues to help guide behavior) (Drewe, 1975) are a few examples of this type of deficit.

The frontal lobes are also thought to play a part in our spatial orientation, including our body's orientation in space (Semmes et al., 1963).

One of the most common effects of frontal damage can be a dramatic change in social behavior. A person's personality can undergo significant changes after an injury to the frontal lobes, especially when both lobes are involved. There are some differences in the left versus right frontal lobes in this area. Left frontal damage usually manifests as pseudodepression and right frontal damage as pseudopsychopathic (Blumer and Benson, 1975).

Sexual behavior can also be effected by frontal lesions. Orbital frontal damage can introduce abnormal sexual behavior, while dorolateral lesions may reduce sexual interest (Walker and Blummer, 1975).

Some common tests for frontal lobe function are: Wisconsin Card Sorting (response inhibition); Finger Tapping (motor skills); Token Test (language skills).

[DRCUSTOMPARTS]

It sounds like you had a serious accident, I'm glad you made it through it. I wrecked my 97 Grand Prix and that car saved my life. That's why I keep buying GM cars, they are very well built. Hope you get better soon and make a full recovery!

[r33pwrd]

Get well soon! everything in life can be relaced other than health and family!

[SLVRG8GT]

Holy shit! Sorry to hear this! Get well soon, and sorry about the GXP.

That's good news you are ok and I wish you a speedy recovery. Did OneStar help you out? I haven't activated mine...just wondering.

Just now read this post, what a bummer. I'm sorry for the loss of the GXP but glad you are ok. This type of thing happens in such a flash. Good luck with a speedy recovery. veryone be careful out there.

[DQGTO]

How are ya doing man? I hope your doing well and on a quick road to recovery. Any updates?

[avintegrator]

Sorry to hear about the car, but glad you will recover

[zepcom]

Hey man -- Sucks about the GXP but people and family are what's important. Given that, you did allright. Best of luck in recovery.


I found this article the otehr day and thought I'd contribute - it was totally amazing to me the speed at which things happen. I personally have been in two 'totals' in my lifetime and can vouch for the "it happens in an instant but feels like forever while it's happening" wierdness...

Anyways, here is the article: The anatomy of a car crash (http://www.drive.com.au/Editorial/ArticleDetail.aspx?ArticleID=56781)

amazing how the airbags and safety systems act and are completed way before us as humans can even comprehend that it happened in the first place!

The important parts that I want to quote directly are as follows:



All over in the blink of an eye

This is a reconstruction of a crash involving a stationary Ford Falcon XT sedan being struck in the driver's door by another vehicle travelling at 50 km/h.

One millisecond equals 1/1000th of a second.

0 milliseconds - An external object touches the driver's door.

1 ms - The car's door pressure sensor detects a pressure wave.

2 ms - An acceleration sensor in the C-pillar behind the rear door also detects a crash event.

2.5 ms - A sensor in the car's centre detects crash vibrations.

5 ms - Car's crash computer checks for insignificant crash events, such as a shopping trolley impact or incidental contact. It is still working out the severity of the crash. Door intrusion structure begins to absorb energy.

6.5 ms - Door pressure sensor registers peak pressures.

7 ms - Crash computer confirms a serious crash and calculates its actions.

8 ms - Computer sends a "fire" signal to side airbag. Meanwhile, B-pillar begins to crumple inwards and energy begins to transfer into cross-car load path beneath the occupant.

8.5 ms - Side airbag system fires.

15 ms - Roof begins to absorb part of the impact. Airbag bursts through seat foam and begins to fill.

17 ms - Cross-car load path and structure under rear seat reach maximum load.
Airbag covers occupant's chest and begins to push the shoulder away from impact zone.

20 ms - Door and B-pillar begin to push on front seat. Airbag begins to push occupant's chest away from the impact.

27 ms - Impact velocity has halved from 50 km/h to 23.5 km/h. A "pusher block" in the seat moves occupant's pelvis away from impact zone. Airbag starts controlled deflation.

30 ms - The Falcon has absorbed all crash energy. Airbag remains in place. For a brief moment, occupant experiences maximum force equal to 12 times the force of gravity.

45 ms - Occupant and airbag move together with deforming side structure.

50 ms - Crash computer unlocks car's doors. Passenger safety cell begins to rebound, pushing doors away from occupant.

70 ms - Airbag continues to deflate. Occupant moves back towards middle of car.
Engineers classify crash as "complete".

150-300 ms - Occupant becomes aware of collision.

Speedy recovery bud-

[GotMyG8V8]

Overall, the gxp is probably going to be the better vehicle. It might not have the space whatever srt8 you get would have, but i think you'll be happier with the gxp overall. Unfortunately, you now have proof of the safety features working properly in this car.

[MoonPie]

hey ya'll, i'm out of the hospital walking around, can' t drive yet, going to rehab three times a week, i'll be driving by the end of next week, contacted several dealers about a new GXP, the thing is, some safety features didn't activate during the crash. But the GXP is too sexy to pass up, its like a really hot chick who farts in bed, you gotta sleep with her!

[wreckwriter]

Interesting analogy :)

[confused2much]

its like really hot chick who farts in bed, you gotta sleep with her!

Maybe if you stopped trying to get it on with farting girls while driving your GXP it would still be operational lol....j/k.

Glad your out of the hospital and I wish you a speedy recovery!
