There are a few instructors that teach to cross you arms to the chest and take your feet off the pedals just before you crash. It's the hardest thing to do. Why don't drunks get hurt in crashes. No resistance to the forces. Moving you hands and feet from where they can get hurt is a smart move. In my f500 there is no place too put my feet. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [email protected] Sent: Sat, 13 Jan 2007 1:37 PM Subject: Re: [F500] Re: NOT A GOOD START
OK, I'm asking I always like the incar views on TV when they show a car crashing into a wall or whatever, of course these a almost always pro's, so maybe it comes with conditioning, but I notice that most if not all, get their hands off the wheel just before the big Boom.
