The dumb fuck in the SUV!

The BBQ Pit
41

I can bend in half with my knees up by my ears. I can see someone ripping a hamstring muscle or two in this position, but getting killed?

I mean, unless they can somehow keep their knees PRECISELY together, and PRECISELY aimed at their skull at the moment of impact maybe, but what’s the natural inclination of your legs when forced down, or back as it were in this position? to go to either side of your body, thats what. NOT straight on into the “kill zone” of the nose into the skull. Besides most people sitting in this position are rather ungracefully sprawled with the knees to either side anyway.

Also, like another poster mentioned, I’ve heard of a LOT of weird accidents but NEVER one involving feet on the dashboard and killer airbags.

Will I be pitted if I admit that I apply mascara while driving my SUV to work each morning? :wink:
While I agree with the OP as to having the common sense to put your feet on the floor as a passenger, I must say that most of the fatal accidents in my neck of the woods (we have plenty) involve drivers and passengers who don’t have their seats belts on. Not to mention the danger posed to pedestrians, but that’s another story.
