HELP! Need a response... (crash w/truck)

I have had my smarty for a couple of weeks and my neighbor stops by and asks me...."What happens if you get hit by a cement truck?". I wasn't sure what to say to him. Can you help me out?

Regardless of what he drives, I'd ask him what happens if it gets hit by a cement truck.

It has been mentioned that the smart is nicknamed "the ball" in some European countries; because it bounces more than it flattens, figuratively.
If he drives a vehicle that would get embedded... he may get heavy shoes, and you'll sneak away!

You could ask him if he knows any good lawyers cuz you'll be suing the cement company.

I have a family member that rides motorcycles and drives a semi. He mentioned he was worried passing a smart car with a semi. I asked him if he was a worried passing a motorcycle. That neighbor probably wouldn't ask the cement truck question if you had a motorcycle sitting in the driveway.

How come there are still traffic fatalities even in bigger vehicles? Bigger doesnt mean safer.

Depending on the speed and direction of the hit, you could well die. Even if you are in a cement truck too.

Tell him it already happened.
What he sees now is what was left for the body shop to work with.

Best answer so far (can't remember who posted it) was something along the lines of "Yeah, I'll probably be dead. You, in your car, will probably barely survive and spend the rest of your life brain dead and on life support."
