It's unlikely a deer would be big enough to deploy the airbags unles the
deer was on it's knees and he hit it solid with the sensor. What is
scarey is the size of the dent in the hood and the intact windshield. If
the deer had been a bit higher, it would have gone through the
windshield and done SERIOUS damage to the driver.

That's pretty much the way it works. You're driving along and all of
sudden you're face to face with a deer that landed on your hood and is
looking at you through the windshield. Never saw him but there he is.
How do I know? Oh I know.

The airbag sensor is in the bumper. It appears by the hood damage, the deer
may have jumped at the last minute reducing the impact force on the bumper
sufficient to avoid airbag deployment.

I gotta admit, most of it relates to rec.motorcycles.harley. So sue me
:-)
I used to post as Big Daddy, but when the damn movie came out, BD's
sprung up like weeds in spring. About that time I hit 50, and I
decided it was time for a change(google "Diary of a DOF" in rmh).
We collect the OC whisky advertising stuff, so it seemed like the name
to use.

Nope, another Harley guy and his neighbors wife(for Coasty and anyone
else familar with rmh, that's RE and Mrs Neighbor from Hell).
I'm the fat guy in the next picture taken with my better half on the
flight deck of the USS John C Stennis. The oldest Crow is seen in a
couple of other shots with me and his twin grandsons, who were born on
his 75th B-day.

Too wierd. It's on a wall in Jackson, Ca.

Yeah, if the sensors weren't hooked up, there'd have been a warning
light. Car was taken over to the Mitsi dealer after the last repair to
clear out the codes(the advantage of working for a multi-lne dealer).

Yeah, and the damn hillbillys around here are all trapsing through the
woods getting them all stirred up right now, too. I hit one in the
Jeep about this time last year, but I was only doin' 65 and it didn't
really do that much damage.

The cave's in Fairfield Bay, AR, and the river is the White River, near
Calico Rock, AR. Those were taken whist we were out in the Jeep,
Geocaching. It's what we do when it's too cold to ride the Harley's.

I ain't even gonna comment on the Land Crusier pics<g>. My sons liked
that one when we saw it at a car show in Jackson last spring.
