What Damage Can Hail Weather Cause to Cars?
1 Answers
Hail falling from high altitudes carries significant potential energy and possesses certain destructive power. Even ordinary hail can damage cars, causing harm to windshields and paint surfaces, with the extent of damage depending on the size of the hailstones. The specific hazards of hail weather to cars are as follows: 1. Small-sized hail: Such as the size of soybeans, the impact is minimal and generally does not harm the car. Cars have a certain resistance to impact, and in most cases, they will be fine unless the car body or glass quality is poor. 2. Large-sized hail: Such as the size of a one-yuan coin, some as big as eggs, or even tennis balls, these hailstones are heavy and can damage cars, causing shattered glass and dents on the car body. 3. Precautions during hail weather: Try to park the car in a sheltered area, preferably in an underground parking lot. If the car is parked outdoors, cover it with a quilt to minimize damage. When there is no place to hide from hail, quickly move to the back seat of the car to avoid injury from shattered front windshields.
