Jeep Wrangler vs eight point buck.

You are lucky that her silly Wrangler did not flip or something, that car is not that stable.

See in this video the 2022 Jeep Wrangler 4-door performing the driver-side small overlap IIHS crash test.

Overall evaluation: Marginal

Full rating at https://go.iihs.org/2022Wrangler

The 2022 Jeep Wrangler 4-door tipped over in the driver-side small overlap crash test in a repeat of a problem shown by an earlier model. Structural modifications made by the manufacturer did not eliminate the issue.

Like the 2019 model tested earlier, the 2022 Wrangler tipped onto its passenger side after striking the barrier used in the crash test, resulting in a marginal rating for driver-side small overlap protection. A good rating in the test is required for a Top Safety Pick award.

What was the speed limit?

If the buck your daughter hit was mid-leap the same thing would have happened to her. Stop being smug about a car wreck you know nothing about. And watch out for actual children, which is the danger inherent in higher vehicles.

Exactly.

OP is a total moron.

Jeeps aren't the most stable but I'll take them in a crash over most cars - they are built on a very solid frame. Someone rearended us on the highway - their car was totaled. Our Jeep was fine except for small scratch on tow hook. Just don't drive them like a sports car. And they are awesome in snow, rough terrain, high water

Far more likely to be injured from handling (highway exits, quick avoidance turns, etc) than from a deer. The wrangler loses the handling contest against pretty much ever car.

The very last vehicle I’d allow my kids to drive is a wrangler. And I drove one for 10 years. I’m convinced it caused my hearing loss.

Odd take . The same person wrote both estimates. We had a nice conversation about cars vs suvs and trucks with deer hits. I guess you know more than body shops in Loudoun.

Nothing you said even responds to my "take." A buck can easily go through the windshield of a Wrangler if it is off the ground at the moment of impact. That's not odd, it's physics. But since you can easily be buttered up by a guy writing an estimate into writing a self-congratulatory post about how safe Wranglers are for inexperienced drivers I'm not sure that it makes sense to expect you to understand basic concepts.

Yikes, you want the car to crumple!
That's one of the reasons why modern cars are safer. If car does not absorb the impact properly through the crumple zones that energy is transferred to the occupants. That's why learning basic physics is important. This is Newtonian physics, basic shit. No wonder a big proportion of populace is stumbling thorough life in a fog of ignorance.

Why does a car need to crumple?
One of the most effective innovations in automobile safety, the crumple zone is the area of a vehicle that is purposely designed to deform and crumple in a collision. In most modern-day vehicles, this is built into the front end of a car to allow it to absorb the impact from head-on collisions.

You just hate SUVs. Hard for a big buck to fit in a Wrangler windshield. It pretty small...

Wow! As a Western Loudoun county resident for 25 years. I really wonder if anyone commenting lives outside the beltway. SUVs and pick up trucks are always safer than a car in most deer and regular accidents. I actually witnessed a Prius hit a deer on Rt 9. The deer was launched by the wedged shaped car about 20 feet in the air. Then it landed in a Nissan windshield. Killing both Hispanics in the car. If you hit a deer with a SUV or truck you have less of a chance of it going airborne into another vehicle. Simple physics.
