I commute to that ramp every day. It is NOT a bad turn at all. On top of that, there are MANY lights, LEDS, signs, warnings, etc before the turn. That man was speeding and being careless in order not to make that turn.

"It was a weird feeling, tingly, adrenaline-pumping confusion," said the 23-year-old event coordinator, whose only pain as he was leaving Broward General Medical Center late Tuesday afternoon was skin burns from "the stupid airbag. I'm untouched."

You would think that the airbag saved his life... would never think of it as stupid

Too bad he was wearing his 'stupid' seatbelt too. I'm sure the world could get by with one less event planner.

Time to hop in the time machine and disable his "stupid" airbag.

Improving the world, one disabled airbag at a time...

After his new BMW sedan carried him Tuesday from a crash on the State Road 84 bridge onto an entrance ramp of I-595 about two stories below, survivor William Ciani said at first he didn't know if he was still alive.

Can someone pull that ramp up on google maps? Does it show it as a 90 degree turn?

Looks like it's actually technically obtuse, if I'm looking at the right corner. Southbound 95 exit onto WB 84, right?

EDIT: Wait, if he was getting onto EB 84, that one is acute. I think he was using that one.
