An acquaintance of mine was driving behind a pickup truck on the highway. It hit a bump, and a truck hitch ball flew out. It went straight through his windshield and lodged itself in the passenger seat, which thankfully was unoccupied. I don't think he drove behind a pickup truck ever again either.

Bonus story from his talk with insurance! He tells them what happened, and they had followup questions:

  • Did it bounce?
  • Why does that matter?
  • It's only covered if it didn't bounce.
  • It didn't bounce.

Apparently, if it hits the road before it hits you, it's just road debris at that point.
