They had to construct a moose analog, taking into account the weight of the average moose and how tall it stood <i>(spoiler ... they're a heckuvalot taller than even the biggest deer you might have seen)</i>, as well as the placement of that weight and the resulting center of mass/gravity, and then conduct their experiments.<br /><br />So, yeah, if you're going to be running vehicles in an area with a large population of moose, a moose crash test dummy makes more sense than it first sounds.<br /><br /><i><b>-"BB"-</b></i>Bicycle Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17050083414573635556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15663150.post-24565754002256735312022-09-16T16:31:10.898-04:002022-09-16T16:31:10.898-04:00Happy Friday, Mark!

Too late though to replace the Moose Crash Ig winner. Coming from someone who lives in a high (fatal) moose crash state, it is as you said quite useful.<br /><br />Happy Friday Miss C!gwdMainenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15663150.post-87787853532206154832022-09-16T12:24:07.632-04:002022-09-16T12:24:07.632-04:00Happy Friday, Miss C!
