Right, and we know that neither US nor German cars are programmed to protect the driver from a golf club by air bags, so no automatic onstar or such.

The real question here is how does someone get seriously injured in a low speed collision in such a large vehicle as the Escalade (the fire hydrant that Woods hit was in his neighbor's front yard, so he simply didn't have enough time to accelerate to a high speed). This certainly does not inspire a lot of confidence in GM products...

I'd say it does not inspire a lot of confidence in Tiger Woods. I think the club swinging wife came before the car accident and I also bet he wasn't wearing a seat belt.

That's could very well be...but according to the article he was drifting in and out of consciousness when the paramedics arrived. Had he been beaten unconscious by his wife, he wouldn't have gotten behind the wheel in the first place.

phil is not in Tiger's league. sorry

as long as TW is around...your boy phil will always be second.

This is TW's first hiccup in the public eye...it will surely be interesting to see how it pans out, but I doubt he will relinquish his top spot.

i believe that as well too bro. I think she roughed him up real good....he was probably dazed and partially out of it when he jumped into his car.

There are just so many details that don't make sense.
