Re: Warning to those driving recklessly!!

Human life is fragile. Once you expire, there's no re-animation. Just be real careful out there, please - there's enough death on the highways already.

Glad your mom and dad are OK.

It appears that the cyclist hit a glancing blow, coming in from the right at about a 45 degree angle and sliding along the car towards the back, the handlebar taking out the rear door window and the rest of the bike (like the steering column) doing that damage to the rear roof pillar (called a "C Pillar").

That angle blow is likely what saved their lives - a decent amount of the crash force was spread out over time, and then they likely rolled over the top of the car's trunk. All that energy dissipated wasn't put into their bodies as projectiles. It is likely they were wearing protective clothing as well, but I can't tell.

If they were drunk, I have no pity or tolerance.

Worth repeating: Be careful.
