The secret to surviving a head-on collision is often taking a series of simple actions. After all, despite the fact that every modern car is equipped with advanced
Unfortunately, no driver is immune from an accident. Which in turn differ greatly in the severity of the consequences. It’s one thing: a ramp into a ditch or a sliding smack into a passing car. And it’s very different when something big flies into the forehead, but there are no options to escape from a head-on collision. As a rule, when the driver realizes that an accident is inevitable, he panics and takes instinctive actions that aggravate the situation. So is it possible to escape if a head-on collision is inevitable?
First of all, the driver should try to reduce speed as much as possible. After all, the lower, the less kinetic energy a car has and the easier it is for passive safety systems to save someone’s life. So we slow down. Powerful and rough, forcing the ABS to work hard. At the same time, we try not to look directly at the obstacle, as this can put the driver into a stupor and cause the inability to take active actions in the current specifics of the situation. If a collision is unavoidable, it is strictly forbidden to actively turn the steering wheel – this can lead to a turn of the car, and then the impact will fall on the least protected part of the body. In addition, such actions will reduce the braking dynamics of the vehicle.
And the moment the airbag deploys while the steering wheel is turned, the driver’s hands can get in the way of its deployment. As a result, she vigorously slaps her hands on her face. Trust me, it hurts a lot. Therefore, we stick to the “steering wheel” at points 10-2 or 9-3 (we’ve already talked about it). In addition, the arms are half bent and tense. Like the neck muscles. At the same time, the head leans slightly forward, so that you do not get a whiplash injury to the upper back when the airbag and seat belt tensioner are activated. And thanks to the tension of bent arms, the meeting with the pillow will not be so hard. Yes, and the hands naturally fold the elbow joints.
In any case, it is not recommended to drop the steering wheel and stretch your arms forward to instinctively defend against a problem. And what to do with the legs? On the one hand, in a state of stress and emergency brakes, it is difficult to force yourself to tighten them at the moment of impact. But in any case, you should know that both the floor of the vehicle and the pedals can actively deform, reducing the living space of the lower part of the cabin. So it’s a good idea to get your feet back at the point of impact.
In the event that, against the background of an active reduction of speed just before the impact, you see that a foreign object can penetrate the passenger compartment through the windshield, you are faced with a difficult choice. Rely on luck and the effectiveness of passive safety systems, or try to avoid the bumper of a four-wheel drive tractor on your own. Glass does not help. In this case, you can try to lean towards the central part of the car.
There will be some living space there, even with a big bang. But such actions will render the work of both seat belts and airbags ineffective. In other words, here the decision is made solely at your own peril and risk. Therefore, the AvtoVzglyad portal reminds you that in order not to get into such a situation, it is necessary to analyze all potential risks at every moment of driving and arrange your actions accordingly.
