Today’s featherweight, tiny (but fuel sipping) cars mean more risks to an untethered passenger in a crash than did the old hunks of Detroit steel (specially in the back seat with a generous hunk of front bench seat upholstery to catch you). I do not know why automobile manufacturers don’t come up with some kind of integrated kiddy-seat system that can be swapped out for the “normal” seats.
I disagree. Detroit steel was meant to stay intact in a crash, even if the driver was turned into plasma. Today's safety enhancements are saving lives. Airbags, ABS, and crumple zones (reducing crash energy) work. I am an airbag survivor.I was bruised and shaken. Both the police officers on scene and colleagues from work (physicists) upon examination of my car said I was lucky to be alive.
SSSSSSHHHH!
You'll give our rulers ideas .
