Cam Newton: 'soMEone is supposed to be dead or severly injured'

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-sh...183948214.html

No.

I object.

As a former General Motors noise-vibration-safety & crash engineer, I strenuously object.

Looking at that vehicle, albeit a Dodge, it did exactly what it was designed to do in such a situation ... collapse around the cab and maintain a crush-free environment for driver & passengers. The National Transportation Safety Board requires a minimum 13 designated crash tests be performed on vehicles prior to being made available to the public, one being a 'roll-over' test. (GM conducts over 30, maybe consider that on your next purchase). There is room to live in those vehicles and as long as he was properly seat-belted in, he probably had more chance of being killed on the field than in a roll-over, just sayin',

. Maybe don't put a lift-kit on the next one, eh?

But Cam probably doesn't know that, :shrug: ... just "Cam being Cam", I guess. Maybe he could send some Subway coupons to the Safety & Crash guys out at the Dodge Truck Plant in Warren, MI or wherever they got that group now,

.

You were in a low-speed rollover Cam, nothing 'life-threatening' going on here ... don't make it out to be more than it actually was,

... god-speed getting well ... after Wk #17,
