And to think... this was a time when there were no seatbelts, no airbags, no
crumple zones... (just big heavy steel land-yachts...)... boy have things

[  :-o  OH, NO!!!] 

There must have been headlines everywhere... "Human Projectile Passes through

Obviously this cop had not seen many traffic accidents.... :-)
