A recent contributor mentioned (and is probably not alone in the feeling) that it is more difficult to be thrown from a car with locked doors. When a door is locked, doesn't that just prevent the door handles from unlatching the door? How many collisions jiggle the handles in the right way so as to open the door? I will summarize responses if there is demand for that. Stan King phone: 201-386-7433 Bell Labs, Whippany, NJ Cornet: 8+232-7433 room 2A-111 uucp: clyde!stan
