I wore my seatbelt. Driving at highway speeds, towing a U-Haul, on what turned out to be black ice, the trailer started to bounce around and "tail wagging the dog" dragged the truck sideways across the freeway and then hit the dirt on the opposite side. Rolled the truck twice. Trailer was off and upside down. I got away with a single drop of blood when something in the cab nicked my ear. Truck was totaled, trailer was totaled, half my stuff was spread out over 50 yards. I was perfectly fine, and when the tow truck dropped me, the truck, the trailer, off in the nearest town I called my insurance company. They had a local rep and she was there the next day. We went to the tow yard and she assessed the damage, considered it a complete loss. A week later I got an insurance check that was generous, only a couple thousand below what I had paid for the truck 6 years previously. Also, I had paid the optional $20 insurance on the U-Haul and they were pretty much, "Its all good".
