At least you had the brains enough to know not to participate in such a stunt. You could not control what the others did, so don't take any blame. You are right, she could have been killed. I know a young girl who did a similar thing; sat on the hood of the car while it was in motion. She took a tumble on concrete. After several surgeries she has suffered permanent brain damage.

This should be a lesson well learned by all of the people involved. Especially the driver. She must take the responsibility here as she used the vehicle for a toy. Any kind of engine driven, driver operated vehicle is not something to play with. I really think she should have had her license suspended and required to go to some kind of driver training course.

I hope this experience doesn't haunt you for too long. It will take a while to push back in your thoughts, but never forget it all together. Just learn to live with it. My prayers are with the injured girl.
