    1. Worse than ending up on your butt on the floor would be having the airbag inflate while her feet on are on the dashboard. At best, she is going to get a face full of her own legs. At worse, broken bones or dislocations.

  2. re: cattails - having a good breeze when you do that just makes it so much better!

  6. I’m pretty sure the dogs are swimming from being surrounded by water, not running because of the wind in their face. If you hold a dog above water many of them will instinctively start paddling.
