Explanation:
A legend is a traditional story believed by the occupants of a territory to be part of their history but which cannot be vouched for by concrete evidence. Legends abound in the story titled the 'Legend of the Sleepy Hollow'. The apparition of a rider on a horseback without a head which resembled a Hessian trooper was one. The ambiance of the village which was described as drowsy and dreamy also had a legendary feel.

A person not wearing a seat belt will keep moving forward if the vehicle stops suddenly due to inertia or the conservation of momentum which continues the forward movement of the car in the person. A vehicle travelling at 60 mph will have more kinetic energy than one travelling at 30 mph so will have a longer stopping distance. A larger vehicle having more weight will have a longer stopping distance than a small or lighter vehicle. Entering sharp curves should be done by reducing the velocity to counteract the centrifugal force of going around the curve. Minor injuries are most often happening at low speeds and with seat belt protection whereas catatstrophic injuries can be say when a car rolls over or hits say a semi-trailer with a lot of weight and momentum.
