I don't know about the rest of it, but I totaled my truck and rolled/flipped end over end 3-4 times at around 85-95mph, and walked away with only a bruised shin where I kicked the underside of the dash, and a bruise on my head where the roof crushed in and hit me. In a well designed vehicle, it's certainly possible to survive a crash at relatively high speed.
Agreed. German cars are normally designed with very high-end speed in mind. It goes without saying that the Enzo would be designed even better for high-speeds. Therefore, non-serious injuries seems right if all safety measures worked correctly. Now, I don't know much the features in the Enzo, but I was thinking some cars had automatic sensors that detected passengers in the seat and therefore enabled the passenger side safety systems. Does the Enzo even have a passenger side airbag? The article would seem to lead to that guess, so why didn't it go off? Wasn't it totally disabled? Or is it even possible to totally disable it? If not..then why didn't it go off? He owns the Enzo...so he has money, why make up a story? I smell fish..but not sure of the direction. -Todd _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
