After-accident Questions
No, no accident on my SVXi and that's why it's belonged to here.
A friend of mine had an accident two days ago(thursday midnite) in her little SUV by a chevy campact car. She got hit at the traffic light junction to her front driver's side fender and wheel about 30-40mph. Luckily not to the driver's door. Air bags were not deployed at that time. I haven't seen her car yet and I'm going to the towing company to see her car on Monday. Perhaps take some pictures. I was told her airbags were deployed(how come???) during the process of towing to the shop. So the windshield was gone as well. I haven't seen her car but I'm told the car was not really driveable... Doctor said she was okay and she was out from the hospital yesterday morning. Questions: Now she is complaining that she feels the pain all over her body and her head. What kind of physics is in there? The impact force? How do we explain this? Any suggestion to get her feel better/recovered fully? (No physical injury or anything) Any knowledge given is appreciated. Thanks.

Something like .5 G's for every 10 miles per hour from the vehicle that is moving through.
Learned this when I hit a stopped, lights out vehicle at 35-40 about 25 years ago, on a pitch night. Perpindicular force moving thru. |

See a chiropractor.
I was lucky enough to bash my head onto the soft steering wheel so I didn't get the whole whiplash effect, but, forces like that and especially from the side can jerk your whole spine out of whack. She could also have some light internal bruising that was indetectible by the doc.

She might have a bit of whiplash going on. If thats the case, a chriropractor visit or two is in order. Another thing that may help is massage theropy. Not the type some random person would give you at a Spa or something, but an educated massage theropist. alot of the massages take tension off of the muscles and tendons and all that good stuff and help heal a bit

Thank you, people for your replies.
In fact, her left arm and ear were hurt. But, she is getting better...... She could get out to do some short distance shopping on black friday also... Maybe shopping can cure some pain... That little SUV might be in a decision of being totalled. Guess I will try to help if I can save teh little truck... Good days.
