However the windshield was intact if that gives you a sense of the impact. I do not wear any device - all stock. The only thing I do is to “lock” my seat belt so that I am not sliding around.
The front airbags deployed and the helmet did what it’s supposed to do. I am thankful to say that I did not need as much as an ibuprofen the next day and walked out of the car and cleared concussion protocol and did not pass out etc. I did have what is referred to as a post concussion syndrome for 3 months - which is like a lingering haziness that comes and goes.
I have to say with the stock set up - I feel very confident that a front collision - the car is designed well and I do not see the need for a additional device. I further believe (right or wrong) that safety is a system - not one device by itself. And mix and match of systems is not going to make you more safe - but in most cases make you less safe.
I am sticking to the OEM setup for now.
