My minivan was rear-ended by a speeding ford f350 at a stop light. Fortunately I was the only one in the vehicle. My seat belt failed, impaling me onto the steering wheel. The rear window shattered, spraying glass cubes and shards all the way to the front windshield. The shards primarily stuck into the back of the rear seat making it look like a cactus. There are fine pieces embedded into the carpet and upholstery. I thought that "safety" glass wasn't supposed to do this. As for the seatbelt, I am still being treated for the injuries.
