May 10, 2007: Deer accident [warning very graphic and gruesome]

A few thoughts on this: It looks like the deer didn't even hit the bumper, so the airbag sensor didn't get set off. Although, I'm not sure an airbag would have helped much here. 2. There's a big difference between 60 MPH and 70 MPH. A little slower and it might not have gone through the windshield. 3. Deer are idiots! And they can leap anything. I've seen them just bound in from the side of the road. The one you hit won't just be standing there. They come from the side. 4. At night, I really prefer roads with wide open fields along the side. Moonless nights and rain are better, too. The deer bed down. But when driving through wooded country with a full moon, watch out!
