The National Transportation Safety Board recently divulged they had "covertly" funded a project with the U.S. automakers for the past 5 years, whereby the automakers were installing black-box voice recorders in 4-wheel drive pickup trucks and SUV's in an effort to determine in fatal accidents, the circumstances in the last 15 seconds before the crash.

They were surprised to find in 48 of the 50 states the recorded last words of drivers in 61.2 percent of fatal crashes were, "Oh Sh*t !"

Only Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan were different, where

89.3 percent of the final words were: "Hold my beer, I'm gonna try somethin'."

I'm not from Wisconsin or the Upper Peninsula, but remembering some of my exploits in my younger days, I am lucky to be alive. I remember saying that, or something very like it, on numerous occasions. ;^)

Only Texas was different, where 89.3 percent of the final words were: "Hey y'all, watch this!"

That's how i heard it ten years ago. Still funny.

79.4% of the fatal accidents in the US South were preceded with the driver's side window opening and the driver shouting "Hey Y'all! Watch This!"

I find this very offensive.

Rednecks believe in vehicle safety as much as anyone else..

I have had the misfortune of watching too many of my contemporaries turn shiny airplanes into black smoking holes - usually with the mike keyed. The scatology of their last transmission bears out this observation as being all too true and not really a joke - even our astronauts managed to join the club when the first moon descent got a tad hairy.
