WTF?

Was the deer flying? How come it missed the front end and just went through the screen?

Nasty mess on the passenger side.....:disgust:

That's what I'm trying to figure out. Unless it jumped straight up(which deer CAN do), I don't understand how it high that high up without leaving a mark anywhere else.

if you look behind the Dodge in the frist shot, you can see the overpass it lept from.

Deer has been spelled correctly a half dozen times in this thread but you still manage to miss. Interesting. :)

Gah, I wasn't paying attention to what I was typing, it just came out. I'm sorry. :( I'm going to go hang myself by the finger tips now.

I don't belive the deer jumped from the overpass. . .


If you look close, the overpass has a fence around it. To wonder why a deer might jump that high and down on the high way baffles me, so i conclude that the deer simply got out there on the road, and then lunged when it saw the car, up in the air to jump, but the truck got to it first. I also belive that they positioned the legs to be that close together, since otherwise they would more likely be spread apart after impact.

Probobly because the airbag sensors are not in the windshield or roof, and the front of the car was not damaged at all

They don't measure decceleration?
