Bumpers

In my time in China I have seen countless traffic accidents usually a couple everyday and after every accident i noticed something at least one of the cars has had its bumper fall off. it seems that every chinese car has a easily removed bumper.

the only time i was in a traffic accident in Canada i slammed into the parked car and all that happened was my bumper has some displaced paint and a few minor cracks. however in China everytime a taxi hits something; another car, a bus, a railing or even an electric bike its bumper will fall off. so right now i'm trying to figure out how they attach the bumpers to make them fall off so easily. presently i'm leaning towards they attach the bumpers using double sided tape

next time you are walking down the street have a look at a taxi and see how its attached because i don't think loose bumpers are very safe i even remember one time when me and Hek were biking and a taxi cut us off we kicked it and the bumper fell off to our delight
