If you Google "moose are terrifying" many crazy but true stories pop up. Pretty sure moose are the origin of a lot of monster legends.

That's for evading a moose though, not to check whether the car can survive ramming one.

A friend hit a moose on the highway once in a small, older car. The hood was smashed, the windshield was broken, the car was totalled. The moose stood up, gave them a dirty look, and walked away.

Funnily enough, the lead-in for CBC Radio's 'And finally...' news item this morning was Moose Jaw Pig on the Lam... unfortunately the web version of the article is slightly more prosaic.

There's another test for that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98ZK_kknP9U&t=72

Which is what is actually going to happen if a moose chooses to cross paths with you. What the evasion test shows has never happened in the real world. It is just propaganda perpetuated by the moose.

My mom's cousin was killed by a moose. He was driving a soft-top convertable and the moose fell off the edge of a hill and on to the top of his car. SPLAT.

edit: Moose are dangerous, even just by existing as a moose.

Tests like that have been done, but I don’t think they’re routine.

There is some very sensual touching going on in the cutscene there. i don't actually think it means anything sexual but it's cool how it contrasts with modern ideas of what bad ass stuff should be like. It even seems authentic to some kind of chivalric masculine touching from a tyme longe gone
