Sign me up for a hunting license!!! This happened in broad daylight at 12:30 in the F'n afternoon!!! Yes, I am ok even though the airbags didn't deploy at 60mph. All I can do is post the pics...

 

That suxors!

 

Sorry I didn't space between pics. Can someone fix?

 

Damn, that sux. Glad to hear your fine. It's scary knowing that the bag didn't deploy.

Good luck


P.S Can I get your rims....j/k

 

Looks like you won the battle but that deer put up a good fight. Hope the dealer can get you back on the road good as new.

 

Sorry about your car, but it does give new meaning to the phrase "grilled venison"

 

sorry to hear...and see

 

Damn, you need to put a warning message on your post, like...

"Warning - thread includes pictures not suitable for young audiences or people who are bloody picture intolerant"

LOL

 

damn it.. did the deer die at the scene?

 

at least it didnt explode like in that other thread...


btw guys this shows a lot of blood...

That left a mark!! I am concerned about the airbags not deploying. Was the impact between your car and the deer heavy? I read about airbags and how they deploy and a big factor in deployment is the change in velocity (delta V). I would have thought that your accident would have triggered them. Maybe that's why I am in insurance instead of engineering. Good luck on your repair. I would not worry to much about insurance premium increases. Comprehensive claims such as striking an animal rarely if ever result in surcharges.

 

yeah they work with MEMs accelerometers which measure the acceleration (dV) and if the acceleration breaks a certain threshold it will deploy...from my understanding the acceleration has to be really significant to cause that...hitting a 60-100lb deer at 60 most likely wont cause enough of a impact to generate that much acceleration and therefore wont deploy, if he hit a moose (several hundred pounds) i bet it would have been a big enough impact for them to deploy...

 

Let me get this straight.... You hit a poor, unfortunate deer and now you "hate deer". Why don't you thank God that you were not hurt, and quit acting like a spoiled little prick.

Slats

 

holy crap, that sucks

at least you dont have to worry about washing off any blood?

 

Double OUCH!!!! Glad you're OK. Do you get to cook it?

 

Oh deer...

 

not sure how he was acting like a "spoiled little prick" ?

 

 

+ 1

The guy just had his car severly damaged so I can see how's he's upset. Cut him some slack.

 

Man that's what you get... screw the car... your car that you love ended an innocent life of an animal.. you all have no heart...

 

Here's a Tree,



Go Hug it.


It was accident and obviously it wasn't the deer's fault but I can see why 803Twon is pissed. He just ruined his $27,xxx or whatever car. LET HIM VENT.

 

Domn and Dan - Did Acurazine recently merge with PETA?

I loves all of Gods creatures also, but lets be realistic here.

 

Not that I'm aware, but it would appear that Deer's life is far more valuable than we thought.

I don't hunt because I don't have it in me to kill a innocent creature but if I hit something with my car accidentally your damn right I'd be pissed......until of course I calmed down and realized that noone is at fault.

 

Meh... natural selection at work. What could possibly be more natural?

 

are you a vegetarian?

 

just be glad the deer didn't fly up and come through your windshield. I've heard of people dying from deer coming through!!

 

Word. If that would've happened to me i would've gotten out and kicked the shit out of the deer. I think he's taking it rather nicely.

 

where did all these deer-loving comments come from??

If it came down to me hitting a deer or swerving and killing myself of some other innocent people, you better believe the deer is going down. Too bad it wasn't a buck with a good rack, because then you could have had a nice souvenir.

 

I wish there was some device that would keep deer away from speeding cars. Many years ago I bought a set of those little plastic "horns," that get mounted on the front of one's car. but apparently they're worthless.
You and the deer are *both* victims, and I'm truly sorry for you *both.*

 

And your insurance company and the Police feel the same way.


Something to think about next time you swere to miss Bambi.

 

Jikes, that suck big time! Both for the dear and your car


The bag will only deploy if the car comes to a very sudden halt (hope this is correct English/American ). Hitting a dear will not slow the car down enough to deploy the bags.

<--- For all our deer loving members.(we'll just pretend it's not a horse)

I feel the same as Dan if it came down to it i'm going to hit an animal vs. endangering me or anyone else.

 

Ha-Ha-Ha, great stuff man.

 

No, I hug Trees

 

Damn, that sucks about your car, I'd be pissed too.
Maybe the airbags also didn't go off since there seems to be no damage to the bumper. Isn't that where the impact sensor are?
Almost looks like the deer tried to jump over the car but didn't clear the hood. Deer without vertical = dead deer.

 

Sorry about your car, but this reminds me of Tommy Boy.

 

Sorry about your car but at least you're safe and your car is still fixable. Unlike this

 

Sorry to hear.

 

Glad you are OK. A person at my wife' workplace died in a car vs. deer accident.

As for the deer, I used to be not so big on hunting, but I think being shot is much more humane than being run over. I see at least 2-3 dead deer/week on the side of the road during my commute back and forth from work.

Also, at least here in PA, there are so freakin many of them...I got them literally in my backyard all the time. So often, in fact, that my dog doesn't even bother barking at them anymore.

 

Sorry to see those pics. That sucks man.


Love the Domn...hitting the "deer" Smiley


This reminds me of Freddy Got Fingered....
