Absolutely 💯

[@rosskhan4815]

Amazing story. Don’t swerve to miss animals on the road; keep going straight, even if it means you’ll hit them. I taught that to all 3 of my daughters as they learned to drive.

[@KosmicKaren]

My dad taught me that too. A huge deer jumped out at my Camaro as I was going 65. My dad’s words ran through my brain in a split second. I hit it straight on without swerving but miraculously I only had a slightly dented license plate. Killed the deer I think.

[@MikeHoncho-cj5hv]

If I took this advice I’d never have a car lmao. I always hear it too. Gravel roads you should not swerve at all.

[@KosmicKaren]

@@MikeHoncho-cj5hv any kind of surfaced roads, you should not swerve at all for an animal. I sat in on a trial where this deceased lady’s family was suing the car manufacturer because she swerved to avoid a family of possums or raccoons crossing the highway, and her car flipped many times, ejecting her out of the car. They sued and said the seatbelt should not have failed. They lost the case. It was horrible. I had to hear testimony of the witness who stopped and heard her final breaths and moaning in pain.

[@robynfrost2044]

Natural instinct for me, I always swerve

[@happilyham6769]

It really depends on the situation. There are times when you should and times when you should not. Saying you should never swerve is bad advice.

Great he did survive. Did see the rescue video. 🙏

[@kevinhorne9643]

Siri won't call 911. I fell and broke 8 ribs in 15 places last November, it was 34 degrees outside and I was in an inch of water and flat on my back. I am C.E.R.T. trained in first aid and CPR so I started thinking I will be hypothermic within a dozen minutes so I knew I had to get up and crawl/walk 20 ft to get inside, and then 15 ft to my cel phone to call 911. After calling I knew it was going to be 20 min till they arrived, and made the conclusion "I'm not going to be back home tonight" so I grabbed my charger, wallet, and keys while waiting. A week in the ICU, surgery on 3 ribs for Thanksgiving. When your survival instincts kick in it really does happen as he described.

[@RicWalker]

Things like this make me believe there is a higher power. I mean what are the odds to land where no one can see you easily, but at the same time landing in a spot where you got access to water to survive. And what are the odds that two random guys think, yeah, today is a good day to check this one of all the rivers in the area out for fishing spots. A lot came together for his survival. so much that you seriously have to doubt that so much chance can happen together.

[@InfamousCrimeLocations]

100% a miracle indeed. Whether you believe in God or not, I think God saved him. Not just randomness that his truck landed in that exact spot for him to get water
