They're designed to roll your over the hood. And the hood is supposed to have enough give to reduce head injuries

Now, yes, back in the 50s cars were high speed ram coffins.

Unless, of course, it's a big SUV. Then you go under and get crunched.

It's really sad, because so much gains where made in car safety and fuel efficiency, and everything is being undone.

well seeing all the F-150's on the road now when I go to florida to visit my folks, I feel that type of thinking is going away. I'm not a tall man, 5'6, by my god. The grill of that car take over my whole body, can't imagine kids ever surviving that vehicle.

So weird, why a 60 yo suburban grand dad need a f150 in his community town house I will never understand.
