Description of the problem | I was involved in a front end collision with a bobcat front end loader. I struck the implement broadside going 35 mph. There was no damage to the implement. My car was totaled and the airbag deployed. After going to the hospital and a chest x-ray, ultrasound, and ct scan, it was diagnosed i had fractured my sternum. I am six feet tall and had my seat all the way back. I am questioning whether there have been any other people sustaining a fractured sternum due to an air bag deployment at 35 mph? |
