What we’ve learned: you have a much better chance of surviving a car crash if you’re wearing seat belts & sitting in the backseat

Not drill related but just another example of how quickly life can change. AJs best friend Latif AKA Healthy Mindset tragically passed in the car crash in Lagos earlier today, anyone who followed AJs journey knew how close these guys were. RIP to the 2 men that passed and prayers to all involved😔🕊️
I don’t usually post things like this, but this story really stayed with me.
Anthony Joshua was in Nigeria on vacation with two close friends. Just about an hour before the accident, they were playing table tennis together. One of the friends even posted a photo of the road shortly before everything happened.
Later that day, their car crashed into a stationary truck on the highway. Joshua survived because he was sitting in the back seat. His two friends didn’t make it.
What really hit me is how fast life can change. One moment you’re laughing, playing games, enjoying life — and the next moment everything is gone.
I also saw a lot of conspiracy talk online about Jake Paul and contracts and all that. Personally, I don’t buy into that, but it shows how people try to make sense of something shocking when it happens.
For me, the biggest takeaway is how fragile life actually is. Success, fame, money — none of it protects you from moments like this. It made me reflect a lot on decisions, priorities, and not taking time or people for granted.
I shared my full thoughts in a video because I needed to get it out of my system. If anyone wants to watch, I’ll put the link in the comments.
I’m curious what you guys think:
• Do moments like this change how you look at life? • Do fighters and athletes live with a different kind of pressure knowing how fast everything can disappear?
