Whoa, lucky escape!

What exactly did you hit there?

If I was you I'd start investigating about the cause of the brake fail as soon as I'd be released from hospital.

lucky escape.

i had total brake failure on my renault 5 convertible.
the rear compensator had lost all fluid resulting in no pedal at all.
i managed to drive all the way home by changing down through the gears and using the handbrake to stop.
but this was at 2am so no traffic on the road.

get some pics up escaping death is always something to tick off the things to-do list before you die
If you tick it off afterwards you've done it in the wrong order.

Hope you make a quick recovery mate and it's not your most used hand so to speak if you get my drift .
