Post Side Impacts

Just so Jim .

These foolish kids learned the hard way that every action has a result .

An Auto Journo I know, Jack Baruth, slide his old Panther into a pole and nearly died ~ the car didn't rip in half but it didn't offer much side impact protection either .

Human bodies are designed (? evolved ?) to withstand the impact of running into a stationary object as fast as you can ~ beyond that you're on your own .
