I was just wondering i always see people talk about driving on the edge, but i know a lot of us have crossed that edge a time or two and learned the hard way with a sore head. I was driving last summer and blipped the throttle a little too much going around a corner and the back end started to pass me, so i let of the throttle to get it back under control(a little too quick i may add). The car grabbed the asphalt and launched the way it was pointed all the while my head continued straight on into the window. Left a little bit of pain in the head and in my pride too. Just never hear about it and was wondering how many others have done this?

I've fooled around plenty of times and had a resulting "slide/grab"...but never hit my head. Neck/core muscled? IDK...

No, I've never gotten so "personal" with my car...

That said, upon several occasions, while pulling out of a driveway with rear tires churning when the posi suddenly caught the side glass did smack me up side of my head...

Not a window but:
Scattered a motor @ the end of a straight on a 3/8 mile. Car did a quick 270 & I blasted the wall with the drivers side @ somewhere around 90mph. Head hit the LS side of the roll cage & I got a mild concussion.
Was wearing a quality Bell helmet, I threw it away after that impact. Also installed a better seat with LS containment, roll bar padding & changed to a dry sump oiling system. There is zero control with 8 qts of oil on the pavement.
Photo of the impact made SCR mag, all 4 wheels off the ground about 3 feet.
Wife says I'm still "dingy" 30 years later

No, but I've hit my head on the roof before, thanks to the lovely tri-state potholes we have here.

kissed the windshield in a head-on once. 32 years ago and still limping from injuries and will do so the rest of my life. Be very careful out there and watch out for that idiot coming at you.

Quite a long time ago, I had an C 3 1970 LT 1 and tried a corner way to hard, tried to accelerate through it, but hit some sand with the right rear, and it started to really go bad, so stupidity I felt I could steer into it, after a good slide I found pavement, and the violently whipped to the right, and I smacked my head real hard on the driver window. Lesson learned. This was around 1976

I've hit my helmet several times on the targa top frame while autocrossing.

Yes, in fact I've done it enough times that the last time I knew it was coming and still couldn't stop it.

But I've got one better. Was riding my Ninja zx6-rr on a wheelie. Was on the rear wheel long enough to slow my front tire down quite a bit. came down a little too hard and a little crooked. ensued was a violent tank-slapper not even the best cowboy could tame, into a highside. I went face first into the concrete at 65-70mph. talk about kissing an intimate object. I got real personal with that face shield until it ripped off and then I met a curb, a sidewalk, then a few rocks, then a bush, then a concrete street light base that I hit and ricocheted off of to have a second date with the same sidewalk, the same curb, and the same pavement ALL IN ONE NIGHT!

I still got up, and with a broken right ankle and a crazy concussion rode that sucker home with no pegs, no front brakes, and only one handle bar in the right position.

I wear a helmet.
