In German and the last minute is just talking but what a great video to demonstrate the benefit of tying down stuff in the vehicle.

Bonus for those who sit with their feet on the dash in the passenger seat - a special misuse just for you.

Thanks! Anyone speak German to say if they say anything new/interesting? Lol

I had to laugh at the stuff on the passenger seat, buckled in. My friends laugh at me alllll the time for buckling stuff in... this summer on a road trip it was the chest cooler, next to my friend in the backseat. I will totally have to show them this.

My mother was an ER nurse when I was little and they had someone come in from an mva who had had her feet on the dashboard. I don't quite understand it but she was contorted in such a way, hers legs were bent back around her body or something, that covered with a sheet, the nurses at first thought she was pregnant. It was always my mother's thing to go off on my brother or I if we put our feet in the dash as teens.

It takes all the will power I can muster up each car ride to keep my legs off the dash board.

I also no longer ride with my arm resting on the window ledge (top of car part, bottom of window part). When I was 12 my dentist was resting his arm there when he got in an accident. He lost his elbow and a couple inches of bone/arm when it went through the window. He could no longer be my dentist because he had little use of that arm left. Every time I go to put my arm there I remember him and put it down.
