Re: Seat-belt warning after baby on mother's lap is catapulted 150ft through car windscreen at 80mph.

"Mortimer" <me@xxxxxxxxxxx> gurgled happily, sounding much like they were
saying:

Maybe the effect of a blow-out is affected by the design of the
suspension and steering mechanism

It certainly is.

Very different from my friend whose car somersaulted: maybe that
happened because she hit the central reservation or the verge next to
the hard shoulder after the car swerved.

Indeed - cars rarely roll, let alone "somersault" without hitting things.
There just isn't enough grip.
