Lucky doesn't even give it justice.

It was pretty direct head-on. It was the passenger side that hit fist and then rolling. Like I said the truck did its job. We walked out of it

 

Sorry about the truck .. good that all parties walked away.

 

I think that is a relatively new test for NHTSA. Direct-side, direct-front was on the menu. Recently (enough) they added "indirect/offset front" being driver-half or passenger-half because some vehicle frames failed apparently due to reliance on total-frame strength.

 

NHTSA only started doing those new offset crash tests because the IIHS started doing it after they realized real world crashes seldom happen perfectly head on. Great improvement imo

Ouch! God damn

 

Yea...pelvic region fractures must suck so bad to recover from. It's kind of the pivot to the whole human body so its nearly impossible to keep totally immobilized, can't even imagine going thru that.


Btw tell ur bro to carry that 1911 on his chest when he's riding the quad!

 

45 would just piss off a Grizz. Way to slow of a round to do anything more than that.

How's his hips doing?

 

My idiot brother also carries 45acp in the bush "for bears"....I keep telling him there's a thing called 10mm, dingus
I think I blew his mind when I told him 45acp is SUBSONIC

 

Yup, and speed is more important than mass in the energy equation. Just ask astrophysicists which is worse; a big slow asteroid impact or a small fast one.

 

No pain is good. Better no pain and some mobility issues than no mobility issues but constant pain, right?

 

Plumbers, electricians and welders all seem to be injury magnets..my bro is an industrial welder in the mines and he's always messed up from stupidities outside of work (work hard play hard? lol)

 

Being old...I can concur with this

 

Not just wrong way drivers. Arizona is breeding grounds for stupid drivers of all types.

To the OP, glad no humans or dogs were injured.

 

Wow

 

Mine did luckily.

 

Ouch! Glad you made it through that one. Took the wheel right off. Maybe we didn't hit hard enough the deploy them. I noticed the front bumper still intact. Did the bumper hit anything?

 

Side impacts don't tend to set off front air bags. The pics I see were not direct front hits, they were side hits that didn't hit the level needed to pop front bags. A 70 MPH direct hit into a rock wall would look entirely different.
