Powerful car, powerful message

Take a good look at this car. Really look at it. Do you notice anything odd about it?

I hope you noticed that the front is upside down, while the back is right side up. This was a teaching car. The officer demonstrated; she activated a switch, and the front of the car began to rotate, like meat on a spit. She cranked it up to simulate a rollover accident at 30 mph. In the front seat, a crash dummy (baby) remained safely buckled in. Her adult counterpart was not so lucky, having been flung, unbelted, from the open window in an earlier demonstration. Flung hard enough to knock out some of his stuffing. A powerful message about seatbelt usage to young bystanders (and me, too!)
