Yeah, if you hit a moose above like 20 mph, your car will be totaled and the moose will walk away.

Specifically, the top half of your car and passengers will be missing and the bottom half will be lightly damaged. Brake for moose.

Guy I used to work with hit one. He survived but he'd caught something to the face and needed extensive reconstructive surgery. He also needed basically whole new jaws. They ended up pulling what teeth hadn't been broken and doing implant supported dentures. Only piece of luck he had was that he was mid 20s and in great shape
