    This is one of those things where my 6+ ft height is a privilege.

    I have never even dreamed of putting my feet on the dash.

    Oof… I shattered my pelvis into 13 pieces in a bad car accident in 2015. They thought i might not walk again, but I thank God im walking just fine. I also had major head trauma and had totally lost my short term memory at first. Its has fully come back, I think, mostly. I couldn’t even hold a conversation at first.

    Meanwhile I see kids doing this all the time while mom or dad looks at their phone behind the wheel. I do live in a redneck area*, though.

    *the USA.

      Whenever anyone does this in my car I check if I’m clear of other cars and slam on my brakes sending then under the dash.

      They always get the message.

      And I will keep doing it.

      Right? People kinda willfully forget anywhere that isn’t a major metropolutan area has a possibility of being the redneck type of rural, and that’s not even exclusive to the USA.

    It can literally Kill you! Even a lower speed accident. I took care of a patient who’s leg was shattered and it cut her femoral artery into a couple pieces.

    DEAD! Just by hanging her bare feet outside the front passenger window across the edge of the dashboard. Air bag deployed. The END.

      I assume some kind of force – airbag or emergency brake – slammed their legs into their body, dislocated the hip joint and pushed the femur sideways and into their pelvis.

    New a guy who did that, well had his foot out the window of his truck, rolled it, shattered and crushed his leg. He sued to truck company… And won. (Or at least settled)

    And then he bought trucks for his family. Yes from the same company.

              Frivolous lawsuits are mostly a fake thing McDonald’s convinced the public of so they wouldn’t have to pay medical bill for someone after serving coffee that was way too hot. The reason for most big payouts for injuries is because the medical system is broken.

    Of the many broken bones I’ve had, a snapped femur is one. The damage it did means I’m never walking without a limp or running at nearly the pace I could. All it did was compound above the knee. This is permanent massive life changing damage. That bone absolutely destroys all the critical muscle groups, blood vessels, and massive nervous system that flows down to your lower half.
