	Amusement Park Physics -- Bumper Cars
		Bumper car rides are designed so that the cars can collide without much danger to the riders.
		The bumper cars run on electricity, carried by a pole on the back of the car that leads up to a wire grid in the ride's ceiling.
		Electrical energy carried to the cars from the grid is converted to kinetic energy, some of which is converted to heat.

	Bumper cars - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Bumper car is the generic name for a type of flat ride consisting of several small electric cars that draw their power from an overhead grid, which is turned off by the operator at the end of a session.
		The car can be made to go backwards by turning the steering wheel far enough in either direction, necessary in the frequent pile-ups that occur.
		In the mid 1960s, Disneyland introduced hovercraft-based bumper cars called "The Flying Saucers," which worked on the same principle as an air hockey rink; the ride was a mechanical failure and closed after a few years.

		Bumper car frame and fiberglass excluding appearance-related damage (scratches, nicks dents fading, paint/trim, and corrosion) is 1 year from the sale to the end-user.

	Q&As: Bumpers
		Bumpers are supposed to keep damage away from safety-related equipment such as headlights and taillights and protect vehicle parts such as hoods, fenders, and exhaust and cooling systems that are expensive to repair.
		Bumpers should stay engaged with the other bumpers in collisions instead of overriding or underriding them, which often results in damage to vehicle grilles, headlights, hoods, fenders, and trunks.
		Only one car's bumper bar was damaged by contact with the barrier itself; the others were too narrow to engage the barrier at all.

	Physics of Bumper Cars
		When there are two cars in a collision, like bumper cars, their momentums can be set equal to one another so that m1v1=m2v2.
		However, since we are concentrating on bumper cars, the masses of the cars are negligible because all of the cars are, essentially, the same mass.
		The higher the velocity the car is moving at and the higher the mass of the car or the driver, the higher the kinetic energy will be.

	Automotive body engineering - Bumper Cars (Site not responding. Last check: )
		To me if two cars travelling at 60 kph hit in a 40% offset condition there would be a relative speed of around 120kph, depending on geometry and what not, with a deformable stationary barrier.
		While the relative speed is 120kph if each car has enough crumple zones to save its passengers in a test collision of 60kph with a stationary concrete wall then both cars would combine their crumple zones to save their passangers in this collision.
		In other words the change of momentum of each car should be the same as it would have been if that car hit a stationary unflexible barrier at 60kph.
