Ford Truck Saved my Life! A Deer hit me head on at 70 MPH-How I walked away.

What happens here

The narrator explains that the remains of the deer after the high-speed collision were too graphic to show, describing how the initially 170-pound buck was effectively disintegrated, with only about 35 pounds of skin remaining. He emphasizes that there was 'nothing left' inside the deer, no rib cage or skeleton. He ties this extreme impact force back to the critical importance of securing cargo, citing a tragic anecdote about a friend's son who died when an unsecured TV in his truck bed catapulted through the cab during a less severe accident. This chilling story underscores the potential danger that the heavy equipment on his trailer could have posed if his shock straps had failed.

Goal: Understand the destructive power of a high-speed impact and its dire implications for cargo securement.
