Question:
I need it for a story that I'm working on.
Answers:
Just kidding. Most mid-sized and compact vehicles built since the late '80's are designed to crush and convolute the unistructure from the bumper to the passenger cell, effectively sacrificing the front and rear of the vehicle in order to keep the passenger compartment intact in a collision. Most cars (excluding SUV's and trucks) actually use the spare tire as a component in the crash structure design, meaning that if someone were lying in the trunk he/she may survive a rear ender up to about 25 mph -- though you had better plan the crash in front of a hospital. The luggage lid, rear body panel and both quarter panels will crush and fold with no regard for what ever is inside the trunk area. A 30 to 40 mph crash will put the taillamps into the back seat on all but the biggest vehicles (Crown Vic, maybe Cadillac DeVille and Buick LeSabre). You would still need a mop and lots of kitty litter to clean up the mess. See if you can talk your way into a local salvage yard or insurance vehicle auction and just look at some rear enders. It will give you a much better picture for your project.
Where can I find rules of the road for Illinois?
well if i rear ended you in my duramax truck they would die and maybe everyone in the car not just the trunk...Serious Truck Incident: re-post from this morning to reach the evening audience. Please help!...?
depends on what types of car were involved in the accident and the velocity of the crashwhat age your baby be before you stop parking in the mother&baby bays?
Not very good - but anything is possible. Sounds like a pretty screwed up story your working on.why do motorcyclists wave at each other when they ride by one another?
Factors, factors, factors..........Who knows what the age law for driving in NJ is?
It all depends on many different factors....How FAST either car is going...etc.....is there
a safety latch on the inside of the trunk to release the back seat, to give way?....
Sound mafia to me.....be good now! LOL!~

If you are truly doing a story you need statistics found somewhere other than a random yahoo website. This is a weird question...I would imagine that your chances of survival go down drastically.
I've just started learning how to drive and I need help on reversing?
Do stats for this even exist?I would say it has to do with the models involved and the speeds travelled.
looking how to find names of people killed in car accidents in Minnesota, In 2001?
Are both vehicles moving?
Do they have bumpers of different heights?
What is the weight of each vehicle?
What position is the person in the trunk lying in?
What speeds are involved?
Is the person who volunteered for this experiment some kind of mentally deficient humanoid?
Whats the rule regarding orange headlights?
So there's an awful lot to consider for your symposium on 'Things Bored People Do With Their Automobiles and the Effects on Their Lives'.
based on the information you provided , the chances of survival are 62 percent
are there any sat-navs that can be programmed for driving trucks?
they would be hurtThey're in the trunk, right? The reason you throw somebody in the trunk is not to say hi, happy birthday. They are fixing to die anyway, pretty soon.
What age does your child have to be before they can ride in a booster seat in the state of Florida?
50/ 50That depends upon how violent the impact is. At less than 10 MPH they should be OK. At 30 - 40, a fatality is a strong possibility.
Why is the road sign called "u-turn" when in actual fact we are doing "n-turn" ?
Uh they would get thrown out of the trunk, land on another moving car, smash their head, and go into trauma..I think.And very low chance of surviving....to answer your question
if 2 cars hit head on, both going 60 mile per hour, what is the impact speed?
Good luck with you story
Should we get rid of traffic signs?
Don't worry. If they are riding in a '64 Chevy Impala, there is plenty of room and They will be just fine.What is it with people not using their turn signals while driving?
