    I have seen people in matching cars, restrained properly and not a mark on them and they are deceased.

    All you have to think about is the race car driver who died years ago and he was properly restrained, I think it happened in Florida.

    Racing is inherently experimental. I'm sure that changes were made to the restraint system and PPE following that event. :)

    Same thing happens in aviation accidents....

    Ex-Bil's boss and 5 of his buddies were killed after he had a belly landing on his Beechcraft....

    The plane wound up in the Colorado River just N/O Lake Havasu......
    When Search and Rescue came out.....They said everyone on the plane "looked" alive.....

    But like you said before.....Inertia can rip the organs out.....

    The FAA Safety Inspectors estimated they went from about 140 Kts to 0.....In under 5 seconds........

    A friend of a friend is a cop. He said the skull breaks from the whiplash motion. He says there is a seam or fault line or something and it kind of cleaves and the top of the skull slides forward. At least that's how I think he explained it. T/F?

    There is a reason he is a cop.

    Whiplash injuries are to the neck.

    A young child has a soft area not fully closed. An adult has a complete skull. Any cracks cause other issues.
