Wanna know what happens when a car hits a tree at 55 miles per hour?
No?
Fuck you and read it anyway! Might just save yer life one of these days.
The front bumper and grille collapse; steel shivers puncture the tires.
The hood begins to crumple, rising and smashing into the windscreen.
The spinning wheels rise off the ground.
The front fenders telescope over the front doors.
The heavy frame members begin to break the momentum of the two and half ton car, but the driver continues forward at fifty-five miles per hour.
His momentum is twenty times the normal force of gravity; it is if he weighs about 3,200 pounds.
His legs, bracing straight out, snap at the knees.
As his upright torso lifts off the seat, his broken knees press against the dashboard.
The steering wheel begins to bend; his head nears the sun visor and his chest rises over the steering column.
Four-tenths of a second have passed.
The front two feet of the car have been demolished, the rear end is traveling about thirty-five miles per hour, but the driver is still doing fifty-five.
When the half-ton engine block crunches into the tree, the rear end bucks high into the air.
The driver's hands bend the steering column almost vertical and less than half a second since the crash, he is impaled on the steering shaft.
Broken steel punctures his lungs and arteries in the chest.
His shoes are ripped from his feet.
His head smashes the windscreen.
The brake petal snaps off at the floorboard as the chassis bends in the middle, sheering bolts.
The rear end begins to drop.
Hinges tear, doors spring open.
Finally, the front seat rams forward. Pinning the driver against the steering column.
Blood spurts from his mouth.
Shock stops his heart.
The driver is dead.
It has taken only seven-tenths of a second...
Less time than to say,
"Buckle up."

And when you've tried to rescue someone in the process of dying, you'll never look at that tree the same way again, I assure you.

Thanks for the PSA. Next you'll be telling us to pray before taking the sunday drive so in the event of an accident we will go to the great gig in the sky.

It only took two-tenths of a second for your mother to die when I shoved my dick in her eye.
