Is this legit something people worry about? Because if you're in a severe enough crash that stuff is flying around your car, projectiles are probably the least of your problems.

I know that some people do worry about projectile risks and keep their vehicles clean of clutter.

Anecdotally, my uncle rolled his Ford Explorer when he had a blowout on the highway, back in the 90s. He was carrying his garden supplies in the back, a couple machetes, rakes, a lawn mower, some other tools. While the tools and knives moved around a bit during the rollover, no one was injured by them. Thankfully, all 3 people in the SUV only had minor injuries. After that, I am no longer very concerned about projectile risks.

I'm so confused.

They're a part of the problem. Just ask a cop, know it all.

Glad it wasn't just me. Projectile risk? Seriously?

I just keep them in my center console. I always have a water bottle with me. And I wouldn't even consider wearing a camelbak in my own car to have water. So silly.

Awesome idea! Never thought of this! (Do they make one that can replace my husband's travel coffee mug?!?)

this is what we do. we can put 2 bottles in the center console and get to them at stop lights, for example.

DH "has" to have water with him constantly, even in the car -- let's just say he's not as concerned with projectile risk as I am. Is there a safer alternative or a way to safely secure the water bottle when DD or I are in the car?
