That’s when you talk to your friend and ask about their insurance and sue them and have the insurance pay you a fat check and the friend does their part by paying the increased premiums. If it was an accident of no fault or equal fault then sue and pay your friend the cost of the insurance premium hike. You get money and he stays whole.

This man was right. He really wanted to take precaustions but that guy was desperate to get it done. I am so happy for him surviving.

[@RowesRising]

My brother fell from a bridge and landed on pavement in his face. He had very similar injuries. They wouldn’t let him look in a mirror for a long time. He was at Walter Reed for a long time and my mother went and stayed up there with him. It was a really tough time for him and all of us to see him suffer so much. He’s doing great now aside from a recurring pituitary tumor. He has 3 sons and is living a full life. But that accident was wild. His jaw was wired shut and they had to reconstruct his whole face with metal to hold it together. He does look a bit different than before but he is alive and has his wits about him.

[@darkmachine165]

Wow! It is a miracle that he survived. Medical science is amazing these days.

[@badcon_ten]

This is why safety precautions exists.

[@alexshatner3907]

Yea why don't you advise that before it happens?

Now I know exactly what "Hard-headed" means. Good to hear he is recovering.

[@TiffaniSpeakz]

I thought he was a relative explaining the story at first.. How insane that he is able to tell this story, & in this condition!

[@PippiLong1]

Amazing Story. Thank You for all those (Doctor's, Family, Friend's ....) involved in Mike's recovery! Continue to prove how you can overcome ....

[@russell9781]

It's crazy how he looks so normal now with all that surgery his face looks good

What kind of a friend would keep begging someone to do something they don't want to do?

[@nutkenstein7324]

A enemy

[@mikewolo6161]

Well you can see it another way, what kind of friend, who is reliable most of the time, would just say no? Friends help friends in a time of need and David learned an important lesson and suffered from his decision to this day. He wasn’t trying to hurt me, accidents happen and he did nothing to cause the accident but did everything to help save me. Thank you

The greatest perspective you could have after something so tragic. What a beautiful human, he deserves the wonderful family he has made. Thank you Mike, your strength is truly inspirational.

[@TightyWhitieTrash]

This guy will now treat everyday as a blessing & have a totally different outlook on life. That took a lot of different types of surgeons to work a miracle 🤙🏼

[@helenspencer9847]

A lovely story of pure bravery you look very handsome you would never guess you were in such a terrible life threatening accident. 14 years ago I lost my right leg through my diabetes 8 years later I lost my other leg. I knew he of gave up on myself I didn’t feel like a woman anymore. I’m now 61 with 12 beautiful grandchildren and I’m I. Love after being alone for twenty five years. Nerve pain can drive me mad at times but I think myself lucky that I had brilliant kids who helped me find my way back. I can finally say I’m back and it feels really good. ❤

[@keifhampton3716]

Probably the most burly and extraordinary tale of the worst and best for a human being. Listened to this on a trail in the middle of nowhere in the woods and I lost it. Felt so badly for Mike and his family. Not supposed to happen. However, the power of determination and not giving up has more power and I'm very proud of all of them. Sincerely incredible story of overcoming circumstance. So very happy the story has taken the turn for the better. You deserve it Mike!! Thanks for sharing it with all of us and sending you my best!

[@ramen_noodles_because_yes]

I’m so happy he was blessed and survived

[@tshaffer9681]

A friend wouldn't keep bothering you to do something that you don't want to do or aren't comfortable doing. I'm glad you're doing better. Don't let anyone talk you into doing anything you don't want to do. God bless you and yours. Stay safe.

[@devourerofsnacks]

Wow, shoutout to those surgeons that reconstructed his face. I didn't even realize it was him that got crushed at first

[@Ena48145]

He looks absolutely amazing despite what horrific injuries he endured! I am so glad he is still here with us!

[@shirleydenniser6079]

Oh my word! I'm so thankful that your life was spared that day, you had the strength and inner resolve with the love of your family to overcome your injuries and trauma to fight for the life you have today. You're amazing and truelly blessed.❤

[@jrizzledrizzle4697]

He looks great really. I wouldn’t know he was in an accident that severe if I just saw him out on the street somewhere. Glad you made it man

[@spiderparades]

absolutely crazy how he looks like he's made a full recovery physically. props to the surgeon and his team for sure. he had his whole face rearranged back into place, and you couldnt even tell. what an awesome story.

[@gabxp3095]

Definitely no longer friends with that man or his father

[@RainAprilDiamond]

And I'm going to sue

[@hugosophy]

Maybe but friends quick thinking and knowledge saved his life as well

[@BigJMC]

My dad told me something when I was in my last year of highschool that really stuck with me. He said “With doing anything in life the 99% of it is the easiest, it’s always that last 1% that is the hardest. Anything that can go wrong will and do go wrong and it’ll get worse than you could imagine but if you see it through it will be the most satisfying thing to happen to you” If you’re experiencing hard times just know that you’re closer than ever to achieving that goal.

Listen to your intuition. Always

[@Gryphon2026]

An absolutely incredible story of survival against a 2% chance of survival! Yet this man made it through and made it back to where he was before, which is just incredible! I'm glad that he's happy.

[@skymarie-]

being a survivor is strange, most people just die and people sometimes survive the impossible.

[@ICHOOSERIGHTEOUSNESS]

It’s not strange my dear it’s God. For some it was their time and for others it wasn’t. But I understand why you feel that it’s strange.
