Was thinking of a head-on.
Yes, exactly. In a head-on collision, everything in the car would fly forward, not back.

The statue on the dash would fly forward if the car were hit on the nose? I don’t think so.

Come on, dude. Think back to your high school physics class. Momentum for everything in the car is forward. What happens when the car comes to a sudden stop like, say, when something strikes it in the nose?

Doesn’t come to a full stop till after the collision though.

Doesn’t matter. All you need for stuff to move forward is deceleration. I’ll tell you what - next time you’re driving, put a cup of coffee on your dashboard. Then tap the brakes and see what happens.

Growing up, my father would cut the seat belts out of the cars he bought. Said it made it easier to vacuum the seats at the car wash.
