70mph is such a crazy speed to hit someone.
when the average rear impact is prolly only in the 20mph or less speed differential i wouldn't expect a car maker to account for a 70mph incident.
if there is evidence that the minivan seats are unsafe at a reasonable speed then i could see where this was coming from, but hitting someone at 70mph is a complete disregard for human life.
what vehicles can anyoen out there think of that could take a shot at 70mph and not have occupants injured? maybe a hummer? maybe a sherman tank?
i think this is jsut another fine example of teh "not my fault" society we are living in today. get a few lawyers together and everyone is to blame regardless of how much negligence lead to the injury.[/rant]
