2011 Polaris RZR Bumper – What you need to know

January 5th, 2011

Bumpers are lifesavers. When you crash your life is in danger. The sudden stop causes your body to do things it’s not supposed to. The sudden change of direction that you undergo when you are hit or when you crash causes internal damage and can even sometimes cause external damage, such as your head slamming into the steering wheel. All in all crashes are not a good thing. The best way to not worry about crashing is to not crash. This sometimes isn’t possible, however. Crashes happen. More than likely you’ll end up crashing at least once in your lifetime. With the 2011 Polaris RZR bumper you can have peace of mind knowing that you’ll be safe in a crash.

A bumper protects you from the outside world not by putting you farther from it. Rather, when you crash your bumper is designed to crush. That crushing action makes it so the crash takes longer and thus the transfer of energy from the crash to you takes longer. The longer and more prolonged the crash is the better off you are. You’ll end up getting the same amount of energy in the end transferred to your body but it is spread out. This spreading out of the energy saves life. Remember, it’s not the fall that kills you but the sudden stop. » Read more: 2011 Polaris RZR Bumper – What you need to know
