Driving down the road, you often see young people sitting in the front seat with their feet either hanging out the window or resting on the dash. Guess they just need more leg room! It may seem like a good, harmless idea, but it is not!

This is Bethany Benson’s story. Bethany, 26, and her boyfriend had just been visiting her mother. On the long drive back, Bethany reclined in her seat and put her feet up on the dashboard.

Suddenly, an accident a few cars ahead forced a tractor trailer they were behind to slam on the brakes. Bethany’s boyfriend was able to brake but collided with the back of the trailer. Both Bethany and her boyfriend were seriously injured.
Bethany’s boyfriend needed 100 stitches. But Bethany was in more serious condition she had a broken nose, left eye socket, and cheek bone. All of her injuries came from the force of the airbags that drove her knees into her face.
The force of the airbag was equivalent to the speed of a Formula One race car, moving at around 200mph. Her feet were also broken; the severe damage changed her shoe size.
Bethany needs custom orthotics, and even her mental faculties have been impaired. Bethany’s life is forever changed; she will no longer be able to go horseback riding or snowboarding.
