[QUOTE="James Snover, post: 16254727, member: 67454"] For the same reason that your baby isn’t safe in your arms in a crash. A crash imposes dozens, hundreds, even thousands of times the force of gravity on the body. And typically the initial impact and acceleration is followed by another sudden deceleration as the body is slammed into a wall, a parked car, a crowd of other people, etc. Put another way: imagine your shoes weigh 1 pound. No big deal. But get in a wreck where you are subject to 200g’s acceleration, now your shoes weigh 200 pounds. No way are they staying on your feet. Those figures are probably a least-case scenario, real world numbers are probably a lot worse. Sent from my iPhone using svtperformance.com [/QUOTE]
