My reason for asking - as a CAT scan tech I was involved in new trauma injury imaging of 'submarining' years ago. That's when a driver just wears a shoulder belt to avoid a ticket. What happens is when you crash, since your not wearing the lower belt - you slide under the shoulder belt. Your knees impact the lower dashboard which results in the energy being transferred to your femurs and consequently pushing your hip sockets into your pelvic cavity. Anyhooz, a sub-specialty was created in orthopaedics just for this injury. Imagine every screw and plate in your garage and mix in colon and bladder contents to deal with. Now I know about horsies as well. Thanks again.

That's vivid, Westlander ;~\ - and I've been guilty of that seatbelt thing on cars that put the sholder belt on 'for you'.

Diddle E. Squat, I was exaggerating on the million bucks... I think he said six figures, which is still a lot of zeros. ;~D
