I WAS INVOLVED IN A MINOR COLLISION WITH A SMALL ATV ON PUBLIC TRAILS ON DNR PROPERTY IN SOUTH CAROLINA. WHILE THE ATV ESCAPED DAMAGE, THE FRONT BUMPER OF MY TRUCK WAS A TOTAL LOSS.

ALSO, ACCORDING TO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS IN THE GREENVILLE NEWS ON 04/21/2001, TESTS CONDUCTED BY THE INSURANCE INSTITUTE FOR HIGHWAY SAFETY SAID THAT THESE BUMPERS SUSTAINED "EXCESSIVE" DAMAGE IN 5 MPH CRASHES. REPAIR BILL FROM TEST--$2006. *AK
