At 20 mph, you're going to get hurt by the sudden stop no matter how well the vehicle you are traveling in is built, unless you are properly restrained. At 30-50, you're more likely to recieve a 'permenantly disabling' injury. Above 50, the likelyhood of a permanently disabling injury is twice that as 30-50, and the chance of death is about 15%, IIRC. Above 80, the likelyhood of a permenantly disabling injury is near 99%, and the likelyhood of such an injury resulting in death is about 40%.Damn NHTSA statistics...can't find the paperwork when you need it. And for some reason, nhtsa.dot.gov is not available :( I hate not being able to check my facts. |
