To be fair, a civic del sol is a step away from being a mountain bike with extra wheels and doors, so I recommend that it be exempted from the “heavy machinery” category.

Sure, if you’re comfortable lying under 1,100kg.

Assuming a mass of about 1100kg and a maximum speed of 53m/s, this car carries as much energy as an explosion of about 370 grams of TNT equivalent. This is nowhere near the energy a pedestrian would receive in a collision, but impressive nonetheless.

I’ve sat under much more than that, but I was in a vehicle moving through a tunnel. The seats were comfortable enough.
