Context:
În ricoşeu, botul maşinii lor e lipit de spatele maşinii din faţă, iar semaforul arată verde. După ce i-a lovit, Toyota dă repede înapoi şi o ia din loc pe linia de tramvai.
Multumesc pentru ideile Dvs.

Note from asker:
| Multumesc, dar acest termen nu inseamna cumva, mai degraba, ca vehiculul a fost proiectat/aruncat la distanta? |
| Inteleg. Ceea ce nu inteleg este ce s-a intamplat aici: masina a fost lovita si a ricosat (adica, daca inteleg eu bine, a fost aruncata inainte) sau a fost lovita si a fost impinsa inapoi? Ma refer aici la semnificatia termenului "deflected". SI acum pe text: din text reiese ca a ajuns cu botul in spatele masinii din fata. Sincer? Nu prea inteleg textul. Actiunea de a ricosa mi se pare ca inseamna: RICOȘÁ, pers. 3 ricoșează, vb. I. Intranz. (Despre un proiectil; p. gener. despre orice corp mobil, aruncat sau izbit cu putere) A sări înapoi sau a-și schimba direcția traiectoriei inițiale în urma ciocnirii de un obstacol. – Din fr. ricocher. Sau poate autorul vrea doar sa spuna ca masina a fost impinsa inainte si atunci merge sa spun deflected care vad ca inseamna (in engleza) si a ricosa (adica a fost impinsa inapoi, ceea ce nu e cazul, sau, pur si simplu proiectata in botul masinii din fata, ceea ce ar merge). Scuzati lungul monolog, incerc sa inteleg si ce spune autorul, dar si sensul exact in engleza... |

Bouncing backwards, ...
Something like this?
"Bouncing backwards, the nose of the car.... etc"

"C) By making the car as rigid as possible, we find that THE CAR BOUNCES BACKWARDS after hitting the wall. In bouncing off the wall there is twice the change in velocity of the driver, therefore a larger acceleration, and associated increased chance of injury."

Liviu-Lee Roth
: if the car bounced backwards, his front bumper wouldn't touch the back of the car ahead of him.
