Wolves on the Wing

I've said it before that the most dangerous animal outside of honeybees in Canada are moose and this video shows why. Take a look at where the animal's centre of mass is compared to the hood of the car. That could have been up to 1500 lbs EACH coming through his wind shield at speed and its not unknown for all that meat to end up in the BACK seat of the car.

Yeah. That's scary.

And as for his driving my hat is off to him. If he'd slammed the brakes instead of letting off when he started to slide he'd never have been able to thread the needle and in all probability would have hit at least one of them.

Two fractured neck bones, amnesia and a car that's had it's roof torn off like a sardine can.

Most people would call that a horrific day, but if that's all she got after a head on collision with a moose she's lucky. It looks from the picture like the animal's carcass hit the windshield and bounced upward, tearing the roof off. That's awesome. Sometimes they just go through the windshield and kill the occupants of the car.
