Agree with what you say bigrig about being hit by a 2.5 tonne car will hurt! , but the rod holders will rip you open. Imagine them going through your guts at 50 ks as you slide up the bonnet! OUCH!

tappin it
"be directed under the car not up the bonnet"!!!

That'll be a more comfortable impact!!! Having the bash plate, suspension arms, diffs, gearbox, transfer case, drive shaft (and possible the wheels), etc, etc have their way with you!!!! lol

I know what you're saying mate, but if going under the car is a safer bet than going up onto the bonnet then my physics teacher was full of sh1t!!!! lmao
