Ouch. My brother got smacked last year. Totaled a Ford F150
pickup, you know, the BIG ones. Bent the frame. It was made before
there were air bags though. He walked away without so much a bruise
from the seat belt. Metal my friends. All cars and trucks should be
made with it.
Hope you feel better soon man. But remember the important part -
you walked away.
