(05-26-2010, 09:18 AM)winmutt You guys are silly. I would be more concerned with the shocks collapsing and the cow bar doing more damage!
Ill just have to test it out then.
actually, I was surfing around some police forums, and the consensus seems to be that the police style ones are really useful for pushing stuff off the road and protecting vitals, but actually add to the body damage of a PT maneuver instead of limiting it. pretty interesting discussions given the the big price tags of the actual police issue stuff.
Seems a lot of police forces go back and forth buying them or not. I was reading one thing where once sherrifs department requires them to fill out an accident report any time they TOUCH another vehicle with the cruiser, including pushing a car off the road. For that reason, those cop's don't even touch any cars with the push bumper unless they can avoid it.
I am not bound by these pesky PD bureaucratic rules however
