A car driving from Tucson to Nogales is distracted by someone throwing a passport into the open window of a bus, veers off the road, and crashes into a cactus. The driver is luckily wearing his seatbelt, which causes him to decelerate from 110 km/hour to a dead stop in 50 milliseconds. A driver not wearing a seatbelt would fly forward and strike the steering wheel, decelerating much more suddenly –- over, say, 6 ms. What is the acceleration (in "g’s", or multiples of Earth’s gravity) of the driver now?
