Wear Your Seatbelt

[@charlzwood2324]

Hey Nick!!!! Man im soo thankful you decided to buckle up brother!!!! You an your friends!!!! Thank the lord!!!!!

[@trek.s]

Yes It happens...thank God you're not seriously injured or anybody else is. Thank youre heavenly father God almighty for everything and all. It is He who takes and gives life. I wish you a quick and easy recovery and mind healing too.

[@curtcoleman]

Nick, I can't believe that everyone involved wasn't transported to the hospital from the accident scene! I'm not clear on whether you went to the hospital or not. I heard you mention it, but did you go? If not then you need to go now. At the very least you probably have broken ribs, and those headaches are not a joke. I was a police officer, and a volunteer firefighter. In EMT class we were taught that it is possible to have a C2(ish) fracture and be unaware of it until you turn your head just right....and then you are paralyzed from the neck down for the rest of your life. I know that is an extreme example, but if there is even a remote possibility then don't risk it. I hope you make a complete and fast recovery!

[@valenciajames7264]

Hi, Nickolas...it's GREAT to see you....looking handsome young man. Glad you're OKAY...

[@bszardom]

Oh my gosh! I'm so glad everyone is OK!! Please make sure you get checked out medically for everything because some injuries do not show up immediately because of swelling. I was in an accident in 2015 in April and some injuries did not show up on an MRI until September. Sending daimoku for you (buddhist chanting prayer). Take your time healing!

[@LM4210]

You don't realize that when your car stops on impact your body keeps going at whatever speed you are traveling. It has happened to me, I felt myself going towards the windshield and then wham the seatbelt stopped me. It's just so important. I am glad you are physically okay. Mentally it takes some time to recover, give yourself grace.

[@ThePwnzerWillDie]

I deal with disability and a chronic illness. Your videos help me deal with my want to go camping but inability to. Your videos are a great resource to me. I identify with you more than most other camping KZbinrs. I hope you know we don't expect anything from you and you can rest as much as you need.

[@gabepickle]

Damn, Nick - I am so happy that you, your friends and the people in the other vehicle all survived. Thank goodness you all were wearing a seatbelt. Stay safe and God bless!!

[@DanielSturge]

Thank the Lord. Thank God you are all still with us.

[@richlewis4594]

So glad you're still with us buddy! Take the time to recover you need!

[@cherylhuger8447]

Nick you are so brave to share your experience. PTSD is a real thing my friend. Give yourself alot of grace and alot of time to heal physically and psychologically. We will be here waiting for you. ❤

[@kardwise9714]

Thank god you are okay. After accidents like that, your adrenaline goes so high and then when it goes out, it can leave you physically ill for days and days and days. On top of that all the pain from the crash and the mental pain just take care of yourself.

[@jailbaitandtackleoutdoors]

Glad you all parties are still alive! You are a good man Sir!

[@waffleson45]

I too was saved by a seat belt in 2019. What he says is the truth they will save you! My car rolled 3 times at 35mph and all I got was scratches and cuts, they work!

[@aepage3165]

Glad you're all with us brother. That's a heck of a speed to have a collision. Thanks for sharing. Hope you are able to talk about it with loved ones as I am sure you're going to be dealing with the mental side effects for a while.

[@LibertyFromLead]

Oh man Nick I'm sorry that happened to y'all. I'm glad it wasn't worse and that ya'll didn't get hurt worse. Take your time and rest up. Take the time to come up with content ideas and getting supplies/gear to use and film with etc. when you get to feeling better and up to it. You are lucky as you know. I understand that feeling you mentioned about not wanting to even get in a vehicle now. After my first serious wreck I couldn't even ride with someone else driving for years unfortunately. It got better but I still am choosy who I will ride with to this day and that's been over 25 years ago. We were on a back road here in NW Alabama and there were gravel patches from repaving being done. This chick I know was driving and she started fishtailing and lost control. We were going down a hill at the time and there was a curve at the bottom we came up on and had a bridge over a creek at the curve. We ended up sliding off the road over on our side and landed on the Creek. The vehicle was an older mini van her mom drove and it was one that was made back in the early 90's that only had one sliding rear door. Turns out we landed on the side the door was on. After I asked if her and a couple other people were on that was with us we're ok I climbed to the front and braces my back on the front passenger seat and push the driver door open with my legs bc it was jammed for some reason. I guess it was from the body being out of shape from flipping over. We didn't flip persé but actually rolled twice before coming to a stop on side. Anyway, we were in a creek ander a bridge and there was an electric fence that ended up shocking me bc it was dark and couldn't see well. We got up on the road eventually and walked a mile to the other road and a guy we knew was heading home with his family and picked us up. That's right down the road from my land up here on a mountain. That other feeling you felt when you said it was hard to breathe and hear ? Did you feel like everything slowed down a lot too ? I did too on the two other wrecks I was in also. But anyway, yea glad you made it man. See ya. -Dustin C. 🇺🇸

[@stevevanwagoner4210]

To God be the Glory that no one died with your permission may I add you to the prayer list at my Church Heritage Baptist Church here in Topeka Kansas

[@debm9322]

Oh Nick.❤❤❤❤ the trauma is….was in a rollover and feel exactly where you are at. Yes. That is where the belt was. So glad you are all okay. Seat belt saved me too ❤

[@breticus0763]

God Bless! Glad you're ok! 🙏

[@anthonycope8637]

That's common nick your fight or flight response took over and your brain sort of shuts down and muscle memory takes over.... Your injuries are real and you need to make sure you document them well and take care of yourself... As for what you saw after the accident it takes time to process it, just know you couldn't have done anything to change it and do not fear talking about it maybe a trip to the local firehouse and having a chat with some firefighters and or EMTs will help you negotiate those feelings.... I felt very weird after having tried to save someone from a burning car when I was 21 and not being able to get it done and I wasn't involved in the accident I just happened to pull up on it....I had talks with several people including a firefighter and that helped me to work through all the what ifs how's and why's....

[@chuloon.central]

Appreciate this update, thank GOD you were all wearing those seatbelts. Please take it easy.... more things might come up in the next few weeks body wise. I would definitely call this a near death experience, super traumatic. Be gentle with yourself

[@kathleenkendalljacksgrandm6902]

Oh Nickolas, Thank God you all made it. It’s impossible for me to think of a world without you.♥️. Hope the recuperation will be short. I promise to wear the seatbelt from now on

[@direwolfgaming4905]

Glad you're ok, car crashes are terrifying take the time you need before you upload again.

[@dwaynewladyka577]

A wise decision to wear a seatbelt. Thank God it wasn't worse. I wish you all the best. Cheers, Nickolas! 🙏✌️

[@jayc4743]

Glad everyone made it out alive. Not a doctor, but I would say you bruised your ribcage/sternum. It will be 2 weeks before you start to feel better and about 6 weeks to be back to normal. Talking from experience, you will be different of course. Don't be scared to drive and inevitably you will have to, so don't fear it. Good luck Nick.

[@DekranWolfe]

Thank you for updating us! Thank the lord everyone is okay. Take all of the time you need to fully heal. We will all be here when you're better, Nick. Buckle up everyone and put your phones down while driving please.

[@TripleBvanLife]

Man this is crazy to hear, I am very happy you are still with us little buddy. Rest yourself and take it easy.

[@fireball1518]

Hey buddy!! God's angels were on point! I'm so sorry you and everyone involved had to endure this!! I'll keep you in my prayers!! 🙏 Take a break and rest! We'll always be waiting. ❤

[@oyabun324]

Damn that could go very wrong, thank god no one dead and feel free to rest up as much as you want ❤

[@cherylt8590]

Sorry to hear this,but glad you and your friends are still here as well as anyone else who was involved, take care of yourself👍❤🙇...

[@chelwesch68]

Oh Nick, thank the Lord God Almighty, you are alive. I only see your videos. I don't know you personally, but I feel you are a really good guy. I am happy you and everyone involved are okay. Speedy recovery take care. Old saying, " If you fall off a horse, you need to get back on it. " Please, don't be afraid to drive again.

[@frankcoleman2586]

Take your time bro ... glad you all are still with us ... we aren't going anywhere .

[@PainReaverX2]

Thank God your okay Nick and no one was ended!

[@barbiechase]

That is so scary!! Thank God you’re all ok!! 🙏🏻 It may be a good idea to still see a doctor just to make sure all is alright. Keeping you guys in my prayers. Sending you good thoughts for a speedy recovery Nick. ❤️‍🩹 🌸 ☀️

[@batmanmcstab1]

I've been watching your channel since it started. I'm glad your ok! Please take care of yourself!

[@BrokeBoy912]

God bless y'all 🙏 glad no one was seriously hurt.

[@kseigmund]

So glad you and your friends weren't seriously injured. God was definitely looking out for you...

[@allisonblair6254]

omg, yes my friend rest up and let your body recover .. we totally understand .. and yes it will take a while to get over the fear of being in a car and driving .. take care and be gentle with yourself

[@sunshines9186]

Sorry u went thru this. So glad everyone's ok

[@jonas189]

Heal up Nick, both body, mentally and spiritually. If you need to see somebody about what you went through, do it as it helps greatly. Glad you are all okay and I always wear my seat belt, I was also in an accident in my youth that would have been much worse had I not had it on.

[@Anothy]

Good to hear that you and your friends were all buckled up and okay. It still baffles me that there are people out there that still don't wear seat belts.

[@brookestearns3676]

I'm glad you & your friends are okay & just sore! Speedy recovery.

[@jensyjs8690]

Hey buddy, I hope your recovery is smooth and that everyone involved recovers as well. I can’t imagine how you feel right now, I’m thankful to God you and your friends are here today. It’ll take time to process the event mentally, one day at a time. I love your content, so I know you’ll keep up the good work when you come back! Take care Nick!

[@JDubbsadventure]

Glad you’re “okay” for lack of a better term. It’s a hard thing to talk about unless you where there

[@74stevedc]

Glad everyone is OK that's the most important part. I've been in a few wrecks myself totalled my first car a Mustang back in the day. I lost friends in high school 1 even in elementary school.

[@section8outdoors]

Glad you're still here to tell this. Give it time, once you're healed up, we will all be here. Most of all, I'm glad Hod was on your side buddy.

[@Patricia.rogers]

Much love to you, And your family and friend's and all involved. So happy all survived. Please rest up and take all the time you need. From South Island New Zealand. Life is precious and so are you. :)

[@jasoncallan]

[@patriots46714]

Prayers for everyone in the accident 🙏🏼 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 God bless you an your friends good lord was watching over you all take your time healing up prayers for sure !!

[@brettesman]

Glad you're okay buddy. We had a similar experience when we were driving home one night. A car blew through a stop sign and crossed right in front of us, I missed their bumper only because I was paying attention and swerved to avoid them. Nobody got hurt, but people need to pay attention more to things like that when driving.

[@Secretlady81]

Hello Nickolas I live in Ohio and these roads are dangerous so many deaths and accidents happen specially dead men’s curve every time I drive I pray that I will not get in other an accident it bad accident in 2014 I was in the hospital for 2 weeks. So I’m glad you’re ok.

[@James-yp5dn]

Glad you're ok Nick 🙏 for everyone's speedy recovery

[@alphonsecapone7556]

Glad to know you’re doing well and your friends as well

[@oremus2843]

Glad you are ok Nick!

[@ryanglidden2051]

I’m happy you were taught to wear a seatbelt because with that you were able to tell your story to us and to give the message to the people here that think they don’t need to wear one, think twice, it could save your life. Stay safe and again glad to hear everyone made it throu the accident alive.

[@77chard]

Prayers for you and your friends, thank you for this youtube channel.

[@theroyalbureau]

Glad everyone is okay, man. We'll all still be around when you come back.

[@IngridOBrien6]

Hey Nick. Been there. Take as much time as you need to recover but get back on that horse. The sooner you get back into a car the more likely you'll get over that fear. Take it easy. We all care about you.

[@brittanycrilley]

Oh nick :( I'm so sorry. so grateful you and your friends are ok

[@wendyshick6689]

Bless your heart ❤️ Nicholas I'm sorry you had to go through that take your time and get better we will be here for you😊🤗❤️

Speedy recovery Nick and pals. At least you weren't driving to the capital

[@michiganmikeupnorth]

Hello from Michigan...I watched you grow up on this channel. Be safe brother. We all care about you.

[@JoeSaidso]

Glad you’re ok bud. God bless all to get through this. 🙏

[@SILSKY]

Very glad you and your friends are alive and able to recover! Take all the time you need. I will be watching for your return.

[@cheefeth]

Glad you are ok brutha...take care of yourself and give your body all the time it needs to properly heal up

[@irkjustice5600]

Thank God you're still with us. An accident at that speed is awful! You'll be sore for awhile buddy.

[@PondstompingAdventures]

Glad you and your friends are OK. From being in a rollover myself at a higher speed from winter road/extreme wind conditions. The affect from the crash can impact you later. Adrenaline keeps you going and you will not feel much at first. If I didn't have a seat belt, I wouldn't be here. It definitely shakes you up for awhile. Take care, heal fast.

[@Idooadventures]

So glad you and everyone is safe. Life can change in an instant. Prayers and ❤️

[@RiskyYT]

Very glad to hear that you are okay brother!

[@trippontwowheels]

Glad you’re okay and hope the pain goes away and you heal soon. I’m hoping you did go to the hospital!

[@aljones238]

Glad you are going to be ok and still alive bud. God was looking out for you and everyone else. Seatbelts always.

[@PiggyAzaleea]

🙏🏼❤️‍🩹I can hear it in your voice how scared you still are. Take care 😔

[@zealousoutdoors]

I'm glad everyone is OK. 2 years ago my wife and I had the same thing happen, 55mph except we were in a 4runner and hit an f350 dually with a horse trailer. Guy was drunk and high. I was so glad we had our seat belts on.

[@HornsDuff]

Glad everyone's ok.

[@danielsacco3103]

Glad you’re okay man! Take ur time to heal up no worries

[@rebareebs]

Glad you’re all okay!! I’ve lost several friends to being ejected in an accident due to not wearing a seatbelt. I will always advocate for seatbelts. It takes 5 seconds and can safe a life. Take the time you need to recover and take care of yourself. Talk to a counselor or your friends, if you need to. Don’t hold that trauma in. Love you, bud! Sending you well wishes and a speedy recovery! ❤

[@JohnnyMac76]

Glad you and everyone involved are “OK” for the most part. It will take a long time to recover from something like that. Get well soon

[@JJsAdventureLogs]

Just glad you all are mostly OK and safe. So sorry you had to go through that experience. Hope you have a quick smooth recovery!

[@chiefenumclaw7960]

Love Ya, Buddy!

Very glad you’re okay Nick. Take what ever time you need, don’t apologize to us. Rest up my friend and just relax. Everyone’s alive and that’s all that matters.

[@mdgonz66]

Take care of yourself, take time to heal, praying for you and your friends.

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

Glad you all made it through it! 🙏🏻

[@rmathew23]

Thank God you are okay. Hope you and everyone involved have a speedy recovery, and yes seat belts are definitely there for a reason. It doesnt make you cool to not wear one for sure.
