I had a friend in college drive through a horse in a sedan (Honda I think). Same outcome. Bisected horse, trashed Honda (NOT drive able). He has no idea how he lived, he thinks he was leaning down to change the CD player when it happened and the roof of his car was gone and he was in pain and covered in gore.
Hate the CT, but impacting a large animal at speed isn't going to end well for anyone involved, regardless of how safe the vehicle is.
A 75mph beach ball would probably be life threatening.
If I'm not mistaken, I think I remember that Swedish Volvos were specifically engineered to be able to crash into a Moose and save the car driver. I think they have a special Moose crash simulation / test dummy.
That's hilarious and I had never heard of it, sure enough, Volvo has a factory moose crash-test dummy.
