An acquaintance of mine was driving behind a pickup truck on the highway. It hit a bump, and a truck hitch ball flew out. It went straight through his windshield and lodged itself in the passenger seat, which thankfully was unoccupied. I don't think he drove behind a pickup truck ever again either.
Bonus story from his talk with insurance! He tells them what happened, and they had followup questions:
Apparently, if it hits the road before it hits you, it's just road debris at that point.
Insurance company just being insurance company, a vampire of utter assholeness
Nice of the rep to explain the difference before collecting the answer, though. They have no way to verify whether it bounced.
