As a person that once wiped out on a North Dakota backroad during winter, driving WAY too fast, I can confirm this is how it really is. What the video doesn't show is waking up in the ambulance 20 minutes later with lots of cool needles and straps and all sorts of fun stuff stuck to your body with three people working furiously over you while you're going "what the hell happened? Am I dead?" and THEN the pain hits you and you wish you WERE dead.
