You guys got me all paranoid so i looked it up.

The main purpose of a bumper is to protect against body damage in collisions slower than 5 mph. Newer cars have bodies with built in crumple zone to lengthen stopping time in high speed collisions but this is not the bumper itself. A bumper is not made to protect you in a car crash. The government has regulation on bumpers but only for cars. Trucks, SUV's, and Vans are not even required to have bumpers.

learn something new everyday

if the hicks have metal poles and bent rods as theirs it should be fine for this dude to have some skis. even though it sticks out way far on the sides

but your bumper channels the force of impact to the crumple zones. they should be connected to the perpendicular running bars that your bumper was once attached to.

I think they may be to long, so you may get pulled over. Sick idea though.

the street legal width on anything driving the road is 7.5 feet.

if its not over 7 foot, 6 inches wide, hes good.


believe me, i see way crazier shit driving around where i live.
