thanks Aaronjb.. thats what I meant

 

I can't remember, for the life of me, what the medical term is for the aorta becoming detached.. aortic dissection? Anyway.. gruesome subject - enough of that, I reckon or Kate will never drive again!

Heart fubar is close enough

And the poor woman wasnt wearing a seatbelt. She was also speaking to her husband on her phone just before she crashed. Apparently he told her to get off the phone and concentrate on driving.
The rupturing of the arteries to the heart was what killed Princess Diana - who also wasnt wearing a seatbelt.The only person in the car that night who was wearing a belt was the only survivor of the crash.

Relatively speaking, built like brick shytehouses. Mine has survived an Insignia being wrapped around the back end-Tailgate,wing and bumper, a deer at speed-bonnet and headlight, a Ford Kuga parking on the front bumper - another bonnet and bumper, and a lorry- new slam panel and bonnet etc.

1 x 2.0 GLS hit on both sides, I was fine, Omega written off both other cars written off.

1 x MV6, rolled due to oil on road, no injuries but nearly fell over on the oil patch, car written off.

1 x CD 2.6 low speed into gate - sun dazzle - bumper bonnet & wing to fix, rest of car perfet

No car does very well in a heavy, fast impact. Doesn't matter how big/heavy/strong/well designed it is.
And the bit that comes off worst is the squidgy thing behind the steering wheel.

Not at all sure about the purported 'safety' of being in any vehicle impacting anything else whilst traveling at speed.......


......I`ve lost two dear-friends to multiple blunt-force trauma; one in a homebuilt plane, the other in a car.

This is the reason I always depart early on any journey and don`t drive fast......life REALLY is too short!

Look at the state of it:

was hit by a skoda ,wonder if its anyone we know.

[Rods2]

The most dangerous thing we all do is travelling around.

It used to be about 1 in 200 people killed in the UK during their lifetime doing this, with safety improvements it is now about 1 in 400. 

In other countries it is far worse. In Ukraine it is about 1 in 100 and they have a fraction of the number of vehicles we have and therefore total annual mileage is much less.  This is one of the reasons there are on 85 men to 100 women in Ukraine.

nowadays here the population is increasing enormously.. so imo car producers must weaken the cars chasis a bit, in order to control ......   

and increase the speed limits twice..

[Rods2]

Just as effective is the 'Indian' driving system. Where they believe that if today is your destined day to die then you will regardless, if not then no harm will come if overtake towards oncoming vehicles, on blind bends and over the crest of hill etc.... 

The outcome, the highest death rate on roads in the world

The standard of driving around here in West London is really really bad.  My mig has only been getting about 20mpg, driven carefully, but I still wouldn't change it for a small car.
