He hits his butt, which is far better than hitting his chest or head. I had
a small accident years ago with a stock trailer. My horse rode backwards and
on impact, she just bumped her butt...I drove on to get to a ride and
finished just fine...if she had been facing forward or on a slant, I doubt
she would have come through unscathed.
