Foot loser - what happens in a crash?
During spells of hot weather, some front seat passengers trying to look cool (usually young females) put their up feet on the dashboard or even worse out of the window. In the event of a collision and the airbags going off the injuries caused by legs flying back towards the rear of the vehicle must be horrendous.

Watch the sequence in Quentin Tarantino's 'Death Proof' for what can happen.
