FLUB-UB flippity-scrape. Hey, it's not
really a bumper, but a puffy plastic bubble shaped like protection. Embarassed driver tosses the lightweight prosthetic in the back of her Voyager.
Before she drives off, we can savor the actual structure that was provided to absorb impact - way smaller, a nondescript plastic beam, probably hollow and filled with styrofoam.
Do the owners of these supposedly crash-worthy big vehicles - vans, pickups, and SUV's - know what's really inside those beefy front and rear bulges that pass as bumpers?
