Thats the truth, they say to get down if you can quick enough. Do you know what the speed of the vehicle was...

HOLY CRAP! did the person survive?

 

[alaskanwhtail]

Just picture this for an example.

That's not one we think about to often around here. That looks extremely bad! Alaskan how often does car moose accident like that happen? I would think your chances of survival or escaping serious injury would be slim.

Sure it would, it would hold your head in place for good contact with the Moose. Kind of like holding a football upright when you kick off. Squish.

I live in Mosse country and know of alot of people who've hit them, I've only heard of one person being killed and it was somebody i didn't know, one passing through the area. Just b/c everybody that who I know that has hit one has made it unscathed doesn't make it a good idea, they wreck vehicles badly!!! From experience let me tell you that everytime one surprises you coming out of the forest and across the highway you nearly crap your pants, the feeling is always the same........scared!
