Do you know how fast one has to be driving to go through the windshield in an accident? Because if you're not going fast enough, you'll just bounce off.
And I'm not being morbid. The reason I ask is that my husband and I were just watching X-men and the thought popped into our head when Wolverine launches through his windshield in beginning of the movie.

I have had the misfortune of coming up on a wreck where the persons head was through the windshield and it was estimated they were doing about 45 mph and hit a B-train trailer.

15 mph or more will do the job ' cause shields are designed to "pop - out" when struck at that speed. AS to going thru one, God help your a...s !! Aorta gone and bleed out iminent usually(unless of course you are 3 to 5 min away from a hosp. or EMT service !! Remember you are STILL traveling @ the cars speed and th shield is stationary !!That is why SEATBELTS were installed in vehicles !! To keep your 'noggin away from the windshield !!

im thinking over 60 or 70 mph. but im no expert. but that is Hollywood so they can pretty much do anything they want even if its very unbelievable.

i dont know, i guess it would have to be upwards of 45 or 50 if you hit a still object, tree, wall, maybe less if its a head on collision...

45 MPH IS FAST ENOUGH
AND WHEN TWO VEHICLES MEET HEAD ON--REMEMBER
AT 35 MPH--THEY ARE DOING 70...IMPACT WISE...
