1 0.7 Seconds

2 Do you know what happens in the first FATAL second to a car traveling at 55 miles per hour when it hits a solid object?

3 In the first tenth of a second, the front bumper & grill are destroyed

4 During second tenth of a second, front body starts bending, raising & striking windshield while rear wheels raise off road

5 Simultaneously, front wheel wells begin to wrap around the solid object

6 Although frame has come to a stop, remainder of car continues to travel at 55 MPH

7 Driver’s instinct is to stretch out legs to brace for impact but they break at knee joints

8 During third tenth of a second, steering wheel begins to disintegrate & steering column reaches driver’s chest

9 In four tenths of a second, car’s first 2’ destroyed, while car body begins to split apart as it is still traveling at 55 MPH

10 Fifth tenth of a second, driver remains impaled by steering column & lungs begin to fill with blood

11 Impact so strong in sixth tenth of a second that the feet come out of shoes although they are well tied

12 Brake/clutch pedals are wrapped around the feet

13 Car frame doubles in half & driver’s head strikes windshield while the still rotating wheels fall to the road

14 In seventh tenth of a second, axles & doors collapse, trapping the driver

15 It does not disturb the driver because he is already dead & the last three tenths of a second do not mean anything to him

16 Now, Who Wants To Wear A Seat Belt?
