Not thinking of trying it--just curious. Health Question & Answer

injuries incompatible with lifeHealth Question & Answer
In a stopped or nearly stopped car with proper safety restraints: concussion, broken hand/wrist/fingers from bracing against the steering wheel, likely some internal bleeding due to pressure from the seatbelt and the resultant whiplash and glass cuts from broken windows.
In any car moving at the opposite velocity (same speed, opposite direction) or faster, the most likely result would be instant death or severe internal injuries among many superficial injuries and broken bones.
A pedestrian has almost zero chance of survival. Massive internal injuries, coupled with blunt trauma to the brain equals death.Health Question & Answer

Look, imagine this, suppose that you weight 132 pounds that it would be like 60 kilos, at 55-60 mph if YOU crash a mountain (no car no other vehicle just your body) you crush, you finish dead. Imagine that an 18-wheeler crashes you at 55-60mph, an 18-wheeler can weight even more than 36 tons, that they would be more or less 80000 pounds you are NO QUESTION DEAD. I'll explain the reason.
the Kinetic Energy is: 1/2M * V2 = Kinetic Energy
M=Weight/G (kilograms), S=Speed (meters per second)
G=Gravity=9,8 m/s2
The Kinetic Energy is the energy in "joules" that men can resist until it dies it's calculated that are 300 joules, now let's do the math.
1km/h = 1000 m/h (meters per hour)
1 hour = 60 minutes = 3600 seconds
so, 1000m / 3600sec. = 0,222222222227
1km/h = 0,222222222227m/s (more or less)
_____________________________________
now
1m/h = 1.6km/h
so 60*1.6=96km/h
96km/h = 96000 m/h
96000/3600=26,66m/s
_____________________________________
M=W/G
M=36287,4 / 9,81=3699,02 kg
_____________________________________
Now the Kinetic Energy Math...
Ec= 1/2M*V2 = 3699,02 * 26,662
= 3699,02 * 710,75
= 2629078,465
2629078,465 joules.
You may say that you are terribly dead. Lol
Please rate me :D

Oh wow.....this depends on if they were hit as a pedestrian or motorist or as a motorist driving head on or rear ending, moving or standing still. I'm going to give my opinion of a pedestrian being hit for now. IF they lived, you'd be looking at massive injuries. We're talking fractured bones all around the board, collapsed lungs, swelling of brain tissue, abrasions, avulsions, contusions, blood clots, ruptured internal organs, massive trauma, possible appendage dismemberment, severe dislocations of shoulders/hips/knee, hyperextensions, shock, blood loss, brain damage, paralysis...... I'm not saying all of the above would happen, but you'd probably have a mix of at least 5 or 6 of the above.Health Question & Answer
well the person would defiantly be dead, they'd have loads of broken bones, which ones i cant say, - probably most or all of them.
and of course the internal organs would probably be reduced to mush.
there is also a possibility that the body would tear apart, that depends on where the truck hits.Health Question & Answer

THAT DEPENDS ON WHAT KIND OF PERSON YOUR TALKING ABOUT. SKINNY PPL RIPPED IN HALF INSTANTLY. FAT PPL BOUNCE AWAY AND NEVER FOUND AGAIN. SHORT PPL ARE LIKEAS SPEED BUMPS BUT MIGHT SLOW EM DOWN. TALL PPL ARE LIKE RAMPS. MACHO MAN THEIRS YOUR ANSWER ITS LIKE A FORTIFIED WALL BACKED UP WITH CREATINE. COMING TO END OF THE 4WHEELER AND KILLING THE DRIVER. LMAO.Health Question & Answer
LOL, well cranial fracture, depending on bumper height, broken knee caps, but the victim would surely go into shock on impact and not feel a thing, then die.Health Question & Answer
blunt trauma to the head Multiple bone fracture in the head torso bilateral legs severe compresion injury to the torso Hemothorax, Blunt Chest Injury . Any thign can kill you that impacts your in the chest at high velocity Health Question & Answer
The impact would kill you and if it didn't you'd probably have disordars...(retardation) no affence to anybody.Health Question & Answer
you'd definately lose your legs ( u wont be able to move them ). Obviously brain damage. You will break likely 90 % of the bones in your upper body. and your spine would be a mess..Health Question & Answer
Lets put it this way, they would still be finding body parts a month later.Health Question & Answer
terrible deadly and messy ones.Health Question & Answer

ummm none they would just be uhhh dead...and that would be at 30 mph...Health Question & Answer
