sorry about getting into this a little late but I have some direct experience with surviving a head-on....

17 year old girl who had no concept of mortality was driving the family"s 1976 Ford station wagon on a snow covered road. She hit a turn Waaay too fast and drifted into my lane at the peak of the curve....just about the same time I got there in my 1986 subaru wagon. she hit me head on at about 45 mph (I was in 4WD and doing about 25). Hit the belt hard enough to leave a welt through a heavy winter coat. she shortend the front end by 2 feet, stopped me cold, and then had enough momentum to revers my direction and smack my back end into a tree. I was very out-weighed. Long story short...Both my wife and I walked away from it simply because of seat belts. the girl hit the windshield. She survived, but had to have medical attention. Me? I crawled out of the window and called for help.

I"ve worn seat belts ever since....
