Many of us have the habit of putting our feet on the dashboard, but few know that it is very dangerous and that it can have serious repercussions on health.
It will have happened at least once, to walk down the street, either on foot or by car, to see passengers travel sitting in the front seat with your feet placed directly on the dashboard.
It is indeed a way that allows you to sit comfortably and relaxed. Even bringing the seat back slightly, there are those who can even sleep. But in case of an accidentthere is a risk of very serious damage.
What happens in the event of an accident if you have your feet on the dashboard
In fact, in this position you can even get hurt due to a seemingly harmless impact due to the explosion of the airbags.
When someone gets into the car, on the passenger side, the first thing you do is scold them if they put their feet on the dashboard, because it gets damaged, gets dirty, gets stained and then obviously why it is not a valid position. There are those who avoid and those who continue to do what he wants without any fear. Obviously you cannot ask to get out of the car, so all that remains is to pretend nothing has happened and hope to arrive as soon as possible keeping your nerves firm.
If you don’t want to have too many discussions, just show him the photo of an accident and show that what happens in case of impact it is never beautiful. The sad and dramatic stories of people traveling with their feet on the dashboard in their car, sustaining damage such as broken thighbones and broken bones are truly many.
It is about wounds that unfortunately change lifewhich is really difficult, if not impossible to remedy.
The story of the Daily Mail
The Daily Mail dealt with the topic and made particular reference to the story of Audra Tatum, of Chickamauga, Georgia. After the impact, among other things a minor accident, he presented permanent disabilities. Others traveling in the same car reported only minor scratches and bruises.
But you don’t, because the airbag practically exploded on her foot which ended up on her face, breaking her nose, femur and ankle. She herself had claimed that it was only the fault of ignorance. She thought she could put her foot down in time, but it didn’t. At the end of all this she also had to quit his job unable to do it.
All this must serve as a lesson to all those who undeterred they keep putting their feet on the dashboard or out the window. This position is certainly no less dangerous, quite the contrary.
