IllustrationMY SON WAS REAR ENDED IN A 95 HONDA CIVIC BY A CAR GOING ABOUT 60 MPH. HE WAS THEN KNOCKED ACROSS AN INTERSECTION AND INTO A STONE WALL. BOTH DRIVERS SEATS BROKE AWAY FROM THE BASE AND AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE WERE TWO OTHER PASSENGERS. ONE BEING MY OTHER SON. THANK GOD THERE WAS ONLY SOME SORENESS AND BRUISES. *NLM
