Sister's sunfire versus moose
Monday, May 09, 2005 3:11 PM
Well my sister was heading back to school in Sudbury a couple weeks ago for her last exam before summer holidays. Anyways she hit a Bull moose. My sister came out with just some scratches and cuts, luckly being 5' 10" in a car like a j-body. As for the moose, well it died 20mins after. She did however get a 2003 sunfire out of the deal. Anyways on with the pics.

Yes.

Is hitting a moose a common occurance? I feel bad, but I kinda chuckled at the title, just because it seems out of the ordinary...

Depends on where you live. In Alaska where I used to live it was such a common occurance the school buses that traveled more rural routes had aircraft landing lights on them so they could spot them before they hit them. I think the average in Alaska is about 650 moose a year kiiled by cars and trains.

I don't know about being a common occurance, since I dont live in that area, or near there. I know it is in N.B. because my grandma says she knows of someone that dies nearly every year from hitting them.

Anyways, ya that would be hair in the front, my sister said she had hair and blood all over her, and said it was really gross, ha ha. As for being shock up, ya for sure. She said she called my mom and my mom didn't even reconize her on the phone because of her voice and the way she was talking. I asked her if she took pictures of the moose, but she said she had other things on her mind instead But she was very lucky.

I can see why the bags didn't deploy:

Take a good look at the damage. Most of it is to the hood & upper roof area.
This is because a standing moose is very tall. When you hit one with a small car like a Sunfire, you end up clipping it's legs.

The moose would have fallen onto the hood and slid up the car, taking out the roof, missing the Sunfire's airbag sensors.

Your sister was lucky. If the moose was bigger and had she been going faster, she probably would have been decaptitated. Believe it or not, this happens more often than you might think.

When KanewtZ hit his moose, it was already lying on the ground. This meant that the lower portion of the vehicle sustained the brunt of the impact and thus caused the bags to go off.

Mmmm.....moose fur
