Best Way to Crash
I am writing an article on how to reduce injuries as much as possible when involved in a crash. The audience is the street car driver, but of course many of the same racecar principles apply.
Please give your input..... some examples are:
1. Take hands off wheel to prevent fracturing your wrists.
2. Dont press hard on the brake at the moment of impact to prevent fracturing your leg.
3. Don't tense up, go with the crash. Relax as much as possible and let the seat belts do their job. Drunk people survive accidents that sober people do not because they dont tense.
4. If one has enough time to position the car, is it preferable to hit the wall rear ended or through the side... I would think the rear is best, but not sure on this....
Anyway, you get the idea. Thanks for the input!
