[QUOTE="soberups, post: 750013, member: 14668"] What a load of BS. If you smack your head into the windshield hard enough to "push it out" of the rubber seal, you will crush your skull. And our older package cars do not have the "breakaway" steering wheels that passenger cars of the same era had. The wheel is a steel loop bolted to a steel pole that is positioned such that the drivers face will be propelled into it at high speed in the event of a head-on collision. The high body and steel frame of the package car will do [I]nothing[/I] to protect the head and neck of the driver who is strapped into it with a lap belt in the event of a frontal collision or a rollover. The cars themselves are quite durable, but the lack of a $50 shoulder belt means that whoever is driving it will flail around like a rag doll, striking his head on the wheel, the windshield, and the side door. At that point....all of the acronyms and commentaries and buzz words and Keter audits become pretty meaningless. [/QUOTE]
