Well, that seems reasonable there may be injury because of that. I suppose the overall risk of death or injury may be less compared to flying dog into the dash or through the windshield. My dog is pretty bad about falling onto his back on the floorboard and legs flailing around if I make just a routine stop, and it's pitiful seeing him get off his back and back onto the seat. He does that on just about any trip to the vet. I accelerate and brake and take corners very gently, but he's just prone to falling over. It seems he has never been able to figure out physics. He does like to go for a ride, though. So, I'm looking for something to help even with injury reduction in routine driving.
