Frist off, you all may recall that Arizona Boy had previously indicated that the engine in the Jeep HAD been pushed into the drivers compartment...so this is the case (as the photo would lead one to believe).
You can also see that the bumper of the Jeep is virtually unaffected/untouched by the dramatic collision. THAT SUCKS...cause that is the purpose of the bumper...to absorb and direct force.
I love my H2, but I have to say....this picture would lead me to believe that a bumper-height issue will have to be addressed. Anybody in a sports car, or regular car for that matter, would not engage us bumper-to-bumper. While we sing praise to the H2 and how it protected our boy, we have to figure that somebody in that Jeep may have been hurt more so then if he had struck another vehicle with 'standard' bumper height. And you can't say it's tough-luck for the Jeep...he could have just been hit and knocked into the H2, or his accellerator could have stuck...who knows...but this picture concerns me.
I have 2 commercial trucks, so I'm familar with some of the DOT law. There are requirements for a rear bumper height to insure that vehicles can't slip under the trucks.
