    • They are caused only by mechanical vehicle failure
    • Restrained occupants cannot withstand any force
    • The damage comes entirely from noise and heat

    Explanation: Crashes impose force beyond breaking points, but properly restrained occupants can withstand a great deal of force.

  3. A crash is really three collisions. What are they?

    • Car hits something; body hits the car's interior if unbelted; organs hit the bones — Correct answer
    • Front, rear, and side impacts in that order
    • Engine, transmission, and brakes failing
    • Tire, windshield, and airbag collisions

    Explanation: Your car hits something; your body hits the inside of the car if unbelted; then your internal organs hit your bones, causing many internal injuries.
