it's the internet, can't do much.

 

Sorry I didn't title the thread better....Gosh

 

buy the hood and play the lottery

i bet you win some dough before your hood kills you

LMAO, i claim no responsibility for anyone's actions after this post!!

 

That's Ok, we will hold you personally responsable.

 

If a crash has enough force to break back tires off of a car in a front-end crash that is going to cause a great ammount of G's throughout the entire car and the G's of the driver impacting the seatbelt will cause injury and I know for a fact that seatbelts and extreme G's cause severe injury and death, if you doubt the death thing, contact Pittsburgh's coroner's office and they have it as a file slide.

 

okay then lets all drive without seatbelts!

 

I do. Sometimes I even cut them out of cars...

 

done and done

 

wouldnt a carbon fiber hood just shatter in an impact like that? i cant imagine a cf hood staying intact during a frontal collision long enough to go through the windsheild and cut your head off

 

I believe thats the most extreme siutation. Could happen and ya carbon fiber is very strong but brittle.

 

You know, there are a lot of roadcourse race cars that use CF hood/fenders/trunks, etc. When those cars let loose, they usually do it in excess of 80 mph and many times end up hitting objects that are less than soft. I've never really heard of a cf hood decapitating anyone in one those events and you'd think that sort of oddity would make it's way around the internet/news.

I'd say if this was something that was actually happening, it would happen in those events more than anywhere else and we would be hearing about it more. Frankly, this is the first time I have ever heard of such a thing. Make any sense?

 

Its a defective listener..... CF hoods are strong enough... they do splinter and shatter when broken... But that does take a lot to do! And I agree if I were to get decapitated by your Hood... Sorry but that would be "AWESOME!"

What I was getting at is that if enough forces are produced from the crash, think back to high school physics; i.e. the conservation of momentum and the Newton's craddle, to "litterally remove tires in the back of a car when the hit is in the front. I think the hood pins will just fly off and end up in some Shitpumps head." then this energy transfers through everything in the car, like the ***** in the craddle, and finally expresses the force with the removal of the back tires, like the swinging of the last ball. When this force is transfered through the seatbelt-driver interface, either the seatbelt smashing the driver into the seat or the driver inpacting the seatbelt, then the force is transfered through them and inertia takes effect and your internal organs impact into where the seatbelt is causing an opposite reaction and can actually sever intestines and the like. That is a major reason why newer cars lack the lapbelt only seatbelts.
