    To any of you front seat passengers...

    who like to kick back with your feet up on the dash.

    I see you frequently, often in bare feet, frequently women but sometimes men.

    Ever think about what will happen if the airbag goes off?
    Think you will have time to move before it happens?

    Just wonder if I'm the only one thinking about it.

    I worked a MVA back in the day. Her left foot was straight on the dash and the right was up in the corner near the glass and the dash prior to impact. The impact made her right leg go up and her left leg bent back into her chest. She was also not wearing a seat belt. The impact caused her hips to dislocate and I think she lost her lower right leg. It was super ugly!

    That's what I'm talkin about. If people thought about it I'm sure a lot fewer of them would do it.

    Not at all. I actually raised this issue at one of our safety meetings at work a few months ago. I think about how tragic the outcome of an accident could be as a result of this every time I see someone (usually a woman) do this, which is literally every day as my commute to work is 20 miles both ways on the highway.

    It's good to know that I'm not the only one who feels this way.

    When you are dead, you don’t know you are dead. It is difficult only for others. It is the same way when you are stupid.
