Default Ejection Hood

So im going down I90 with my cousins girlfriend in the car and im on my way to meet up with my cousin and a friend to go have dinner becuase we all had just had a long day of side jobs and we had just dropped off customers vehicles. So as Im going down I90 im doing 75mph when all of a sudden this large black object SLAMS into my windshield and blocks all view a head of me so trying to stay calm and assess the situation i pull over and try to figure out what the hell has just happened as im pulling over in the madness that has just ensued, and i quickly come to the realization that my carbon fiber and fiberglass backed hood that was on the car when i bought it has just ripped itself from the latching hook and decided to slam into my windsheild and crack the windshield and also chip the paint on my roof, ohhhh and leave a fantastic looking impring of the honda emblem on my roof too. WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happened to me once as well, but I was only going 35mph and I was my fault for not double-checking that my brother hadn't fully latched it. After a new windshield and Cusco locking hood pins I'm set!
