I just read this news and think it's a good thing to warn everyone about what to leave in your backseat or not.
Family warning public about safety in the car
Appears woman was struck on the back of the head by her laptop during car accident

It wasn't a big accident.  Storey's car hit a tow truck in the intersection of Scott Road and 103A Avenue on March 16th.  Police say she shouldn't have died.

Storey's brother Michael Pratt says the police told them she had been struck by something in the vehicle.  "And she had some luggage with her for a business trip.  And I believe the laptop was in the backseat."

Personally I won't leave anything in my backseat. All heavy items belong to the trunk. If I have to carry anything bigger, e.g. PC. I always bucket them up at the seat. I even bucket the carrying case for my cats if I have to trave with them in the car.

I always wonder what would happen in accident, for those car full of everything in their dash.  e.g., I saw big crystal ball (I mean big) hanging under the mirror.

I know... And ppl putting lots of hard toys/decorations. Sometimes, those are even put on top of the air bags!!
I think it's cool to add some personal taste to your car but safety comes first!

Hi Admin! Can you move this to the car forum? I think it's more appropriate there.

The user manual on all my cars tell me that I am not suppose to put things on the dash because serious injury may occur when the bag is inflated.

Same news in Chinese from MingPao
車禍時後座物件飛砸 女司機遭筆電擊斃
【明報專訊】素里皇家騎警指出,上月中一宗在車禍喪生的女子,是被放在車後座的手提電腦擊中頭部致死。死者母親、家人與騎警昨日共同呼籲公眾,駕車時應將隨身物品放穩,或放在車尾箱中,減低遇上突發情況時的傷亡危險。
