I'd say hitting a semi that ran a stop sign at about 50kph comes pretty close.
Hit the front third of the rear hopper on the 2nd trailer... 10' forward and my hood would have gone underneath but would have hit about 6" up my windshield... 10' back and I'd have hit right in front of the rear tires, gone under and possibly run over.
We're talking just over a second either way on my dashcam footage.
Had JUST traded in my Ranger for an Explorer less than 18 months prior, and the Ranger would have gone under the hopper which would have hit 4" up the windshield. The Explorer just stopped on impact, no airbags.
