Even fairly light-weight objects can cause serious injuries. A tissue box weighing half a pound, at 60 mph, would feel roughly like about 30 pounds hitting you in the back of the head! I think that would hurt a little bit. Think about the damage heavier objects could do. Do you ever carry a bowling ball in your vehicle? What about canned goods in a grocery sack or two? The forces involved in more serious collisions can send these things flying like cannon shot -- and send you to the hospital.
