If you’ve ever watched the impact tests with dummies - at 35 MPH it’s amazing how the bodies fly around a vehicle.. and something as simple as a pencil becomes a deadly projectile.

Oh yeah, I’ve seen the crash test films. Used to do accident investigation. It’s amazing, isn’t it?

I've been a paramedic for quite a while. The deadliest unsecured projectile I've ever seen cause injuries in a motor vehicle collision was a 120-pound rottweiler sitting in the passenger seat when the Explorer was hit on the passenger side and rotated onto the driver's side. Not only did the rottie break some of its own bones, it broke the driver's upper arm and a few ribs. Plus, he was just a little bit displeased when we showed up.

I am sure he was thrown around quite a bit. But from the photos I’ve seen, it looks like the front seats remained upright and intact. So, how did Corzine (who is well over six feet tall and 200 pounds) get around the front seats?
