Here is one for you that happened to me in a car crash coming home from college 50 years ago. I wasn't wearing a seat belt, no shoulder belts then, and was thrown to the side of my bench seat before the 4x4 post came through the windshield and impaled the seat where I was sitting on the drivers side. Officer told me he expected the diver to be dead as he walked up and saw the post though the windshield.
