cant do the smilies, but total agreement here!!

Sorry to hear about your accident Rich, you were lucky to get away with a sprained knee and undamaged car. Glad to hear the car is better, here's hoping the knee mends quickly as well.

a young guy died in our town doing that at the gas station,the pumps are on a slight incline,he started pumping his gas and realized that it was not in park.he ran to get in and was knocked down by the car door,unfortunately it was his head instead of his foot that went under the front wheel.he died at the scene.
guess you were kinda lucky,concidering a lot worse has happened to others in a similar situation.
speedy recovery,mike.
